****SOLVED****Preview not loading

Post by tremara »

Since ver 16 I have been having an issue with the preview of a new project not loading in browser...It flashes a dialog box then nothing......I have tried on projects I saved in ver 15 and it worked but the new one created in 16 no preview. It is just a test site I am working on with 1 page a layout grid and some cards....any clues??...thanks Trev

Note that preview is standard Windows functionality.
If this does not work then most likely the 'html' extension on your computer is not correctly configured.

See this related tutorial:

This has not changed in WB16 and works the same as in previous versions.

I am a bit confused the projects I have that do preview seem to be generating code to different folders eg. one generates to file:///D:/webTemp/index.html
another generates to file:///C:/Users/trema/AppData/Local/Temp/preview/index.html
and another I did generated the site but did not display so I am not sure where it wrote the site.
Where do you set this temp file location?? I think this is where I am having issues....Trev

Maybe you have changed the preview location in Tools - > Options -> Files & Folders ?
