Sometimes, if I upload a file on Dreamweaver, it doesn’t work. Usually, it’s because the internet connection has dropped for a moment. Any other piece of software, in all of history, would just cancel the upload after the timeout. Not Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver can’t. Instead, I just get this message over and over. I can’t edit the file that it’s trying to upload, and I can’t upload any other files. I either have to:

a) Wait for Dreamweaver to crash,

b) Close Dreamweaver via task manager,

or c) Wait for the 0.5% chance that Dreamweaver will successfully cancel the operation.

I’m lost as to why it’s so incredibly difficult for Dreamweaver to stop doing a operation that it has already failed at. It’s the software equivalent of driving your car into a lamppost, and holding the accelerator down until the tank is dry.

In the time it took me to write this, I could just have restarted Dreamweaver.
