So, when you update to the new version, 1.0.8, it erase all your css (dmxslidingpanels.css and whatever design you had before (mine was ipad.css))

So previous updates, you could just restore both .css files from your back ups and keep on with your day. But for some reason, with this update, as soon as you change anything with the supplied style, the next time you open dreamweaver (or a new files using the extension), it copies default styles over your modified style...

tried renaming both css files to avoid the overwrite, but it is not working.

So maybe I missed a thread with tricks to avoid loosing your modified styles when updating but I would gladly need some help on this one.


Thanks,
Emmanuel

Hello,

It is recommended to put the changes created in the extensions styles into new/separate css files. This way they never get overwritten.

Hi, tried that, that's how I would like to do it, but everytime I open a page, the extension ads a related css files.
related files when I change the names:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/dmxSlidingPanelstest.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ipad/ipadtest.css" />

related files whenever I reopen a document with sliding panels:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/dmxSlidingPanelstest.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ipad/ipadtest.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/dmxSlidingPanels.css" />

So it ads a related file to the main slidingpanels.css, for some reason, it dosent ad it to the sub style (ipad.css)

Also, thanks for answering all your forums post, something we don't see enough theses days.

Hello,

The <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/dmxSlidingPanels.css" /> will always be placed on your page, this is how it is supposed to be. Please make sure your custom css files are AFTER it in the code.

Ok, only way I can make it work is to erase everything inside the "Styles/dmxSlidingPanels.css", so then the page points to an empty css file, probably not the cleanest way, but it works!
thanks
Emmanuel
