Any way to Design-Time a stylesheet across multiple files at once?

In other words, I want a folder containing 100 html files (that happen to
all be raw data includes) to show me the stylesheet of the website proper
when I'm editing them individually in dreamweaver.

I'd rather not have to hit Text / CSS Styles / Design Time on a file-by-file
basis.

Thanks!

Then I'll assume the only way to attach a design-time stylesheet, is
individually, on open files.

This kinda sucks. :-( We can search-replace over several highlighted files
in the inspector with a single command, but we can't apply design-time CSS
on several files at once.

Here's to hoping we can, in a future revision.

Here's a DW Extension that allows you to do that:
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?CID=61265

The extension is not free, but for only US $5 it shouldn't take long to
pay for itself in time saved.

HTH,

This extension was created in 2004, right after Dreamweaver MX introduced
design-time stylesheets.

Are you suggesting that despite the fact that the need to apply design-time
stylesheets to multiple files manifested itself right out of the gate,
Macromedia/Adobe have yet to address this issue half a decade later?

I find that a bit sad. I'm not sure how comfortable I am installing a DWMX
extension on CS3.

The data controlling the DTSS's was placed in Design Notes "right out of
the gate" so that DW could be extended for this type of functionality.

As you noted, this functionality has not changed, so this extension
still works in all versions through CS4.

HTH,
