Vern, Well, I for one miss CFStudio, but I'm not going back. I think if Macromedia took the time to listen to the communities they'll find ways to make DWMX better.
I know, I for one miss the following: ------------------------------------- * F9 (which is now F4 that only works if the insert panel is open and available). I submitted this via wishlist as a bug. * Keyboard Mapped Snipplets - Being able to hit "Cntrl Q" to spit out a generic cfquery statement was such a huge timesaver. I submitted this via wishlist as an enhancement. * Half the current keyboard commands don't work. If I try to map to ColdFusion Comment, it doesn't work in developer mode, it only works in design/wysiwyg mode. Submitted to wishlist as a bug. * Realize that if majority of us are going to be forced to work in DWMX we'd like the option of disabling that visual mode and not even having to deal with it (hell, don't even load it up in the background, I don't want or need it. I want an IDE that'll help me type CF code faster and I want my help files, that's all I ask for). Have not submitted. * Consider reworking that window that shows you the files. Make the folders a different color from the file icons. I have to say that I like the File/Folder explorer in CFStudio better. It'd be nice if this were an option. If you have a lot of folders, you'll see a lot of horizontal scrolling. Have not submitted. * I have an issue with WinXP / DWMX. I find if I'm in WinXp's crayola mode, that if I minimize the program, the DWMX screws up. If you need a screenshot, let me know. I know I like the following: ---------------------------- * The IDE interface is fine, I'm glad that it looks like the rest of the Studio MX applications. * CFC code/panel is kind of neat. Make sure the server is setup correctly tho as there is a dependency. * The sites manager thing is helpful to me. * At first, I didn't like the help files seperated from the IDE. Now, I'm getting used to the alt-tabbing and don't mind it. It'd be nice if the help file could also retrieve the livedoc info (if the user asked for that preference). I am finding that as a developer, I really only use _1_ panel the most. That's the files panel in which I have access to Site & Assets and I moved Snipplets there. I'd also use Application, but so far I haven't needed to. All the other panels are closed / removed. Call me a minimalist. ~Todd -- ============================================================ Todd Rafferty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - http://www.web-rat.com/ | Team Macromedia Volunteer for ColdFusion | http://www.macromedia.com/support/forums/team_macromedia/ | http://www.flashCFM.com/ - webRat (Moderator) | http://www.ultrashock.com/ - webRat (Back-end Moderator) | Speakeasy DSL - http://www.speakeasy.net/refer/18280 | ============================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
