Hello,

It is not the will to duplicate programs but to be able to have access to such basic features as paragraph level text formating.

Now THAT does make a lot of sense.

I don't know why it should be something so out of this world to add it.

An old chestnut that has been chewed over before . . .

Drop shadows are thrown in and I don't think anybody wants to duplicate Photoshop.

If I would have to vote for text field enhancement or drop shadow, the first one would be far more usefull to me.

Take a look at:

Why on earth would you want to spend time duplicating programs like WordPad or TextEdit?

The place is swimming with Text Editors! And they get rather repetitive and boring after
the first 258.  :)

This is similar to complaining that you cannot makes bricks with sand: get over it, the Egyptians did it with mud 6000 years ago - and its never been bettered!

Admittedly the drop-shadows, while being 'sexy' could easily be run-up in GIMP or "its commercial rival". The webby-thing, as far as I am concerned, is a quantum leap, and a "new text field" will just have to wait; after all we
have reasonably respectable text fields already.

"you can make any kind of application in runrev" is the usual commercial hype; however you can have a jolly good stab at it with Runtime Revolution with an
extremely approachable interface.

If Text-Editors really "tickle your prawns" I have a whole series of stacks 'lying around' on my hard drives dealing with all sorts of aspects of text
importing, formatting, editing and exporting (frankly couldn't see much
point in knitting them together for . . . another text editor) which I can bung together in a zip file and send them to you so you can curse my name forever
as you try to assemble them into text editor "Number 259".

- web plugin
- server-side scripting (and maybe some day it will be released to the public)
- photoshop-like effects

while i did think that the real-time drop shadow and other Photoshop-like effects were nifty I do not see why they were added over a feature like a new text field.. during the webinar it was mentioned that "you can make any kind of application in runrev" but the fact that one can not even duplicate WordPad or TextEdit is kind of sad..

i do like the new logo though ^_^
