Thank you thank you thank you! I just got Codekit to compile LESS files, but I still want to use the autocomplete and css hinting of Dreamweaver . This gives me the best of both worlds.

Hi, Thank you very much for this…I’m still new to .LESS and .SCSS, and being the Dreamweaver lover that I am this tip is priceless.

Additional thanks to Biotess who’s Mountain Lion solution worked perfectly for me.

Thank you for the tip. Love it when I could edit as many things as I can with just one IDE (and being the best one)

I have added some extensions for dreamweaver and its working fine for me and I found it at http://webdesignsolutions.co.in/sass-extension-to-dreamweaver

I hope this will work for all. Try it once.

Thanks for the helpful post. Can anyone point me at the config file that determines which file types Dreamweaver includes when searching though files? Thanks in advance.

I found the solution. In CS6 in addition to the files listed in both tutorial (linked in the question), there is one more file that needs to be changed. It’s MMDocumentTypes.xml located in AppData files here:

C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\DocumentTypes

I’ve got Dreamweaver CS6 on Windows 7.
I did all changes to config files and even have restarted my machine. Still don’t see coloring. It was working for my CS5.5 version before.
Any idea what is wrong?

I have set up CodeKit on my Mac today, but as soon its running Dreamweaver cant safe the less files any more. I get an access denied error. When quitting CodeKit DW is saving files without any problem. Seems that CodeKit blocks the files or OS X thinks it does.

I also tried BBEdit and now OS X throws out an error message
Espresso works fine though.

Anyone has similar problems?

I found the answer for Mountain Lion users in the Adobe forum, by Kricir (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4715452):

“I know on my end I stumbled across the solution and I do hope this works for you as well.

If you are working in Mountain Lion with cs6 I can tell you I couldn’t find one of the sets of files because they were in a HIDDEN /library folder in my user directory.

If this is the problem that you are having, make sure first to go to terminal and turn on hidden files (copy this into terminal):

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true

Then hold “Alt/Option” and right click “Finder” then click “Relaunch” in the pop up menu.

From there you will be able to find the /Users/”USERNAME”/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_US/Configuration/extensions.txt and /Users/”USERNAME”/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_US/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml.

Once you edit those files restart Dreamweaver and everything should work just as expected.”

Hope it will help you as much as me! :)
