Spry

Restore a backup version of Spry

You can revert to previous versions of Spry using the backup copies of files created by the Spry Updater.

  1. Locate the backup version of the Spry assets you want to use.

    Backup folders are located in the same directory as the main Spry assets folder (usually the root directory). For example, if your main Spry assets folder is called SpryAssets, your backup folder might be SpryAssets_backup_20070830, located in the same directory

  2. Rename or delete the main Spry assets folder you’re currently using.
  3. Delete the appended material from the backup folder (for example, _backup_currentDate_uniqueID ).

You should be aware that backed-up files and folders lose their file rights when Dreamweaver initially performs the backup. This happens due to a native default behavior that Dreamweaver uses to copy files.

On Windows, backup files and folders do not inherit the read-only attribute. Additionally, Dreamweaver does not back up files marked as Hidden, nor does Dreamweaver give you a warning about these files.

On the Macintosh, backed-up files and folders have “-rw-r--r--” access rights (or 644 equivalent), regardless of the folder’s original access rights. If at least one file designated for backup has no read access for the current user, Dreamweaver does not perform the backup and provides a warning message.
