Interesting. There are more options than meets the eye, but you need to know what they are in order to be able to select them by first letter. This is ridiculously unintuitive and takes several times longer than it used to. Plus, let's say you do invoke "target", you still have to type it in rather

I thought I might have been a little harsh with the comment "completely useless", but after testing the same dialog box in versions 9.6 and 10, I stand by that assessment. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this forum allows image uploads so that I can illustrate my point. But as a for instance, I

Yes! I loved that I could edit an HTML tag by right clicking and hitting Edit Tag. Wtih the most common attributes available, I could make minor mods very quickly by checking a box and entering a value. Now, I have to find the attribute, selected it, then type in the value out of my head - no assis

I have to agree with you. And having to manually enter and edit information such as image dimensions that BBedit used to enter for me --- that not only means a *lot* more work for me but also a far greater likelihood of inaccuracy. I'll have to start using Update Images more now. :-) Ken cam

I know that, but they shouldn't take "getting used to"; the old ones were perfect. The new dialogs are too small and precious to be of any use. Why can't I have the classic style dialogs as an option? On Jul 21, 1:24 pm, Wrong Size Glass wrote: > The new edit boxes do take a bit of getting used t

The new edit boxes do take a bit of getting used to. You can automatically add additional parameters by clicking the small 'gear' in the upper right corner of the edit box. WSG On Jul 20, 7:15 pm, edac2 wrote: > The so-called modal-less edit boxes are impossible to use. I don't see > how this

The so-called modal-less edit boxes are impossible to use. I don't see how this feature is an improvement. If I'm adding a URL, the classic Anchor edit box, for instance, had clearly defined fields for Href:, ID/Name, Title and Target. The Image edit box was similarly clear and simple to use. The n
