Dreamweaver Real-Time Collaboration latency during concurrent FTP file access
0 reputation · 07 Dec 2020, 05:16 UTC
When utilizing Adobe Dreamweaver's Real-Time Collaboration features across multiple instances targeting the same site directory, significant latency is observed during high-frequency save operations. This occurs specifically when the proprietary server-side protocol manages file-locking mechanisms via FTP or SFTP to prevent data corruption.
The Live View engine relies on a local browser instance to render rapid DOM updates. When multiple users perform simultaneous code edits, the overhead of processing these changes appears to degrade performance, though it remains unclear if the bottleneck is a result of the file-syncing frequency or the rendering limits of the local browser process.
- How does Dreamweaver differentiate between network-level latency and internal file-locking delays during concurrent edits?
- Is there a configuration to adjust the frequency of automated saves to reduce Live View engine strain without triggering manual conflict resolution prompts?
