Only the inline css tags are seen in the Code Explorer> CSS tab
When the html file has a external css file <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="demo.css"> the CSS tab is empty.
When you open the html file should it also display the external css file?
I remember Dreamweaver CS6 would do this.
It makes it easy to edit the html & css files and see the preview of the webpage.
Example I have the html file open and V-Split Preview and I click on the HTML tab in the Code Explorer and as I edit the html and text I can see the result right away in the preview.
Is it possible to do the same with the css file?

You can open the CSS file (e.g. demo.css), click Preview tab and instead of "Generate preview file" use the HTML file that you are working with. Use button "Open custom preview file" to browse for the file.
