Sean, Thanks for the links!
The Tree View I'm referring to is actually called the Tag Inspector in HomeSite and lists all the tags in a CFML or HTML document and displays them in the Tag Inspector. In HomeSite, you can filter the tags to only show CFML, or only HTML, or only XHTML, etc. Additionally selecting the tags in the Tag Inspector would also select the tag in the code view, and allow you to edit the attributes in a way that was similar to the Property Inspector in Dreamweaver. You could select both the opening and the closing tag to quickly find a closing tag for an item, and so forth. This used to exist in Dreamweaver (without the filtering), but was removed a few versions back. I found it pretty useful and miss it a great deal... - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Sean Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 3:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: John Dowdell Wants to Know What's Wrong with Macromedia On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 14:10:31 -0500, Calvin Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 1) Dreamweaver's file panel is difficult to navigate because the files and > the folders are all nested together in a very small area. Yes. Same with Eclipse although CFE has a File Explorer that mimics HS. http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish - submit an enhancement request http://www.macromedia.com/go/beta - apply to join the next DW beta, whenever that is > 2) Combined with (1), is the interesting choice of not showing the full file > path in the title bar, or somewhere.

Hmm, well, extensions let you do a *lot* to the DW UI and in fact DW is infinitely more customizable than HS. However, I take your point about simple, point'n'click editing of certain UI elements so... http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish - submit an enhancement request http://www.macromedia.com/go/beta - apply to join the next DW beta, whenever that is > 6) The HomeSite query builder was pretty decent to work in, put something > like that in. http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish - submit an enhancement request http://www.macromedia.com/go/beta - apply to join the next DW beta, whenever that is > 7) Interactive debugging!
