my only beef with dw 2004 is the inability for linux support :( [quote]Yes, if you are a Windows Dreamweaver user, then you already have a copy of HomeSite+ that you may use too[/quote] funny thing is that u can easily run homesite on linux though
a feature that would be nice though is during install to have control over what all is installed. say u want cfm, jsp, html, css & XHTML support but not things such as .net or php, would that help its bloatedness? quite frankly, a lot of the complaints i see are solved if they look like having the full address in title bar, several extensions 4 that. and keyboard shortcuts, can be done. even "old" dogs need to learn new tricks ;) also, i think the extension manager needs to at least have a "check all" feature, seriously a pita when doing updates ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Sean Corfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 16:30:56 -0800 >On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 16:17:05 -0500, Calvin Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> However, I still find that DW lacks a great deal that it should have since >> it is the declared ColdFusion editor of choice by the maker of ColdFusion. > >Bzzzt!
