vtm files

[twcman]

I have just discovered the wonderful world of vtm files for my custom tags. I have one barrier to overcome. When I edit a .vtm file, I have to exit and restart cfstudio. Is there a way around this?

Thanks, The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked

ColdFusion Studio and Homesite: VTM Changes Are Not Immediately Applied
TechNote 20621

When making changes to a VTM file or creating a new VTM file, you must clear the program cache to see the changes.

Interfaces such as Tag Insight and Tag Inspector require tag-specific information to operate properly. For instance, the Tag Inspector needs to know the attributes of the tag being entered, the type of each of those attributes, and, in special instances, the enumerated values of an attribute. Individual tag definition files store this information. HS caches tag definition information. If you makes change to these files you must clear the cache in order to see the changes. Please note: These tag definitions are stored in \Extensions\TagDefs\*.VTM

WorkAround
When you making changes to a VTM file or creating a new VTM file, save the file, and then press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C to apply the changes (or open and close HomeSite/Studio).
