Fixed Issues in HomeSite 5.2
a.. The steps to changing the order in which Resource Windows appear has
changed. To modify the order, right click on any of the Resource Windows and
choose "Organize..."
b.. 12096 - Spell checker is now updated if the document is edited
directly during a spell check so remaining errors are correctly highlighted.
c.. 48980 - Search and replace now works when CR/LFs are embedded in the
search string.
d.. 27351 - Many areas now properly handle embedded tags (e.g. <TD
align="center" <CFIF
client.registered=bgcolor="green"<CFELSE=bgcolor="red"</CFIF==). Affected areas
are:
1.. Collapse Full Tag
2.. Select Full Tag
3.. Find Matching Tag
4.. Tag Editors
5.. Tag Inspectors' tag tree (when selecting a node while holding
ctrl, the entire tag is selected in the Editor.
e.. 28007 - The Application.ProjectManager object in Homesite 5.0 was
incorrectly surfaced as the Application.Project object, thus conflicting with
the documentation. A synonym object called ProjectManager has now been surfaced.
The Application.Project object still remains for backwards compatibility. Also
note that several ProjectManager methods which return VB/JScript compatible
variant arrays were not returning string elements properly leading to a
VB/JScript runtime "type mismatch" error. This has also been corrected. The
following methods exhibited this behavior:
1.. ProjectManager.FolderList
2.. ProjectManager.FolderAllFiles
3.. ProjectManager.DeployServerList
4.. ProjectManager.DeployScriptList
f.. 28338 - Edit -> Convert Tag Case no longer converts the DOCTYPE nor
attribute values within single or double quotes.
g.. 28406 - Selecting results from an Extended Find should now highlight
the correct match even if the document had been modified (unless the match has
been removed from the document).
h.. 48829 - In order to get Perforce to work with the source control
API, house any projects you want to map to source control under your c:\depot
client directory and add them to Perforce first.
i.. 30023 - Regular Expressions can now be used to remove text in
Extended Search and Replace by leaving "Replace with" blank. This previously
failed with the "Regular expression matched the empty string" error.
j.. 31107 - Fixed incorrect text highlighting in the Editor when using
Spell Check's 'Change All'
k.. 38933 - Removed access violations and other strangeness that often
occurred when opening multiple search and replace results.
l.. 46476 - The "Add Folder" project menu item was incorrectly disabled
for project subfolders under certain circumstances. You can now create project
subfolders at will.
m.. 46494 - In the Files resource window, if you right-mouse clicked on
an image and selected "Insert as Link" from the popup menu, an image tag was
incorrectly inserted instead of an anchor tag.
n.. 47181 - If you made changes to any of the Validator Settings
(adding/removing tags, versions, attributes, etc.) and clicked OK, the validator
settings changes were committed even if you clicked Cancel on the outer Settings
dialog box. A rollback now occurs on the underlying validator VTML files if you
opt to cancel out of the general Settings dialog box.
o.. 47200 - Accessibility: The Validator Settings tabbed dialog is
composed of several Visual C++/MFC based dialogs which follow the Control
Panel/Display/Effects options. One of these options, "Hide Keyboard Navigation
Indicators Until I Use the Alt Key" is on by default. You won't see the
accelerators until you press the ALT key at least once unless you turn this
option off.
p.. 47326 - Several wizard navigation bugs were fixed in the Deployment
Wizard.
q.. 47383 - Fixed Access Violation that often occurs when canceling out
of the "New Profile" (Options -> Settings -> Codesweepers) dialog.
r.. 47894 - In Validator Version settings, if you attempted to delete a
newly added Version Family, an access violation occurred.
s.. 47981 - An issue existed with Mozilla 1.0 as the external browser
and temporary file paths generated. Mozilla 1.0 requires a "file://" prefix to
browse local files. This issue has been resolved.
t.. 48065 - The HTML tag dialog option "Quote all attributes" now
defaults to the value of the "Insert numeric values surrounded by quotes"
setting (Settings -> Markup Languages).
u.. 48066 - During the early stages of 5.2, a bug occurred in the
installer that would cause the common files directory "program files\common
files\macromedia \bin" to be created instead of "program files\common
files\macromedia\bin" . The extra space embedded at the end of the macromedia
subfolder caused a critical Projects COM dll, wddx_com.dll to not be registered
properly. This caused Project related features to fail.
v.. 48068 - If Tag Validation was turned on and you modified the
Validator settings Access Violations would sometimes occur
w.. 48201 - Corrected end tag output for XHTML tag dialogs. Only those
tags that are declared as EMPTY in the XHTML DTD can have the shorthand end tag
syntax (e.g.
).
x.. 48456 - Increased the font size to the help pages for "Tag
Definitions."
y.. 48542 - Fixed broken links in VTML documentation.
z.. 48557 - Repeat last tag should no longer insert the last tag's
content.
aa.. 48558 - Text selection is now restored when selecting text and
surrounding it with a tag using a Tag Editor.
ab.. 48627 - Some help documents (i.e.
Help\Using_HomeSite\configure.html) display a button labeled "View comments on
LiveDocs" when using certain versions of Netscape as the internal or external
browser. The HTML is commented out in the file but Netscape renders it anyway
and ignores this commented out code. Please disregard this button.
ac.. 48696 - A new HTML template (found in File -> New) is included in
this release for creating UTF-8 documents. The template contains a tag
specifying the document as UTF-8 and has been saved using the UTF-8 format.
ad.. 48707 - Tag insight for special characters is now case-sensitive to
typed symbols.
a.. 7550 - The red mark that underlines spelling errors is removed when
the error is corrected.
b.. 8699 - Accessibility: Copy and Paste via CTRL-C/CTRL-V are now
available for local files from the Files tabs (with the exception of root files
of local drives).
c.. 9006 - Fixed problems with using 'Strip Outermost Tag' on comments
d.. 12908 - If a username/password combination fails for remote
deployment (FTP) the deployment process will now cancel instead of making
repeated attempts to upload all of the rest of the files in the project.
e.. 30175 - Fixed "Set document as XHTML" issues. Existing DOCTYPE
declarations are now located and used when appropriate. Any code preceding the
declaration is now left intact.
f.. 30193 - If you attempted to save to a remote FTP folder that had the
same name as one of Homesite's own subfolders, files would be incorrectly saved
to the local folders instead of the remote folder.
g.. 45792 - If you added a new FTP folder while editing a remote
document, subsequent saves of the document would attempt to save them to the
newly created folder, not their original location.
h.. 23425 - Files tab lower pane View>Titles menuitem should be disabled
(or better yet, removed) for remote files
i.. 27351 - Code doesn't collapse for a template that embeds a tag
j.. 47848 - It isn't obvious that the browser listed first will be the
default browser in the Configure External Browser dialog box
k.. 47932 - The "Deployment Wizard" dialog box doesn't render correctly
under large fonts
a.. The process of customizing Resource Window and Toolbar positioning
has changed dramatically. Drag and dock/float is no longer supported. To
customize these features perform the following:
1.. To move the Resource Windows choose a position from the "Move to"
context menu (right mouse click) item in the Resource Window you wish to move.
The default order of the Resource Windows cannot be changed, but they can be
docked to the top, bottom, right or left of the application. KNOWN ISSUE: Files
1, Files 2, Projects and Tag Inspector Resource Windows cannot be docked to top
or bottom.
2.. To move toolbars from their default locations, you can either a)
choose a position from the toolbar's "Move to" menu item or b) go to
Options-Customize, uncheck the toolbar from its current position, choose the new
position from the "Toolbar Position" drop-down selection and check the toolbar
that you want to move. The QuickBar can be undocked and moved to a floating
position, but individual QuickBar toolbars must be docked to the top, bottom,
right or left of the application. KNOWN ISSUE: Toolbars docked to the left,
right or bottom will go out of view when there is no more room on the docking
frame.
b.. We have added a new check box in the FTP settings dialog that allows
a user to specify to always use binary transfer with FTP. The product makes the
assumption to use ASCII with certain file extensions. By checking the new check
box ("Always use binary for FTP transfer") this assumption is bypassed and these
files are transferred in binary mode in both directions (upload & download). We
have specifically added this feature to handle Unicode file transfers which are
otherwise altered and rendered unusable by FTP transfer. This should affect both
the feature docs and the release notes dealing with work arounds and warnings
about Unicode transfers. [28519]
c.. File Extension Manager - The new File Extension Manager makes it
easier to organize the different file types supported in HomeSite 5.2. To open
it, go to Options > Settings > File Settings > Extension Manager.
The File Extension Manager panel contains five columns:
1.. The Group Name column shows the file type names that display in
the dropdown list of a files in dialog boxes.
2.. The Extensions column lists the extensions in that group.
3.. Selecting a file group in the Editable column means that HomeSite
will open those files in the editor.
4.. Selecting a file group in the Image column tells HomeSite to treat
that file group as an image file - the file will not open in the editor.
Selecting a file group in the Image column clears the group in the Editable
column. Both checkboxes for a group may be cleared.
5.. The In Filter column determines how the group name displays in the
right-click Filter menu in the files pane on the Files tab.
To set filter options:
1.. Selecting both the Editable and In Filter checkboxes displays the
group name when you set the Web Documents filter on the Filter menu.
2.. Selecting both the Image and In Filter checkboxes displays the
group name when you set the Web Images filter on the Filter menu.
3.. All group names selected in the In Filter column, display in the
All Web Files list. This is handy if you want to add file types, such as .zip or
.swf, in the File Extension Manager and display them as web files.
Managing file extensions:
1.. Click Add and complete the entries in the dialog box to add an
extension group.
2.. Select a group row and click Edit to modify the extensions, using
standard file wild cards, such as * and ?. Separate entries with a comma.
3.. Select a group row and use the Move Up or Move Down buttons to
change its position in the list.
d.. 5918 - In the "Configure External Browsers" option dialog, the
topmost browser was always treated as the default browser for the F11 Browse hot
key. A "Default" label has been added to the first browser selection in the list
to make this clearer.
e.. 7978 - VTML file browsers now respect the "Display current folder in
file dialogs" setting when accessed from an unsaved document.
f.. 9561 - Fixed incorrect code insertion that resulted from selecting
"Convert Lines to Ordered List/Unordered List/Table" when the selection begins
on a line containing other text or tags.
g.. 10646 - When adding help bookmarks any special characters in the
document's title are now correctly converted.
h.. 11855 - Fixed tag editor's file browser open dialog from incorrectly
disabling the "Open" button.
i.. 13722 - It the root node of a Project was assigned a top level
deployment folder, 550 errors would be displayed on the remote directory
creation attempts, even though the file deployment process would internally
create the remote folders on the copy attempt. It made it appear that the
deployment failed when only the initial directory creation attempts were what
failed. The folder will get created if user has write access to the server root.
j.. 14262 - Backspace key now functions properly when Tag Insight is
visible.
k.. 14464 - LinkBot 5.0 now successfully communicates with HomeSite 4.5
projects. Earlier versions of LinkBot will not work with HS 4.5 projects.
l.. 14816 - In the Deployment Wizard, if a directory was specified for
the Deployment Logging and the directory did not exist, running the script would
cause an error message to appear and leave an hourglass cursor.
m.. 17636 - An Access Violation would occur if you attempted to validate
JSP files created by the Drilldown wizard.
n.. 18882 - In the Codesweeper Tag Specific options the two "Strip tag
from document" and "(Strip End tag only)" options are mutually exclusive.
o.. 20551 - When saving Extended Search results to a file, if the file
already existed there was no prompt to overwrite. You will now be presented with
a Yes/No confirmation dialog.
p.. 20810 - The Files tabs in HomeSite now behave more like Windows
Explorer when attempting to delete read only files. If you attempt to delete a
read only file or group of files you will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
q.. 21594 - Fixed the 'out of memory bug' that would occur when doing
multiple deployments of a large project.
r.. 22667 - Codesweeper log files for Macromedia Codesweeper and HTML
Tidy Codesweepers: The edit controls now include folder browse buttons.
s.. 23142 - The sample syntax editor on the "Edit Color Coding Scheme"
dialog is now keyboard accessible. Using the arrow keys selects the correct tag
group in the Elements list.
t.. 23821 - Keyboard accessibility has been improved on the External
Browsers dialog
25030 - Added a validator warning for deprecated LI attributes TYPE,
START, VALUE, COMPACT
u.. 25981 - If any of the Validator configuration files (Versions.vtv,
ValueMap.vtv, Validator.vtv) became corrupted 0 byte files, an AV would occur
when the validation engine would attempt to load them. This has been fixed. The
validation rules loader portion of the engine has also been optimized for speed
and should run approximately 50% faster with this release.
v.. 26067 - Accessibility: Tab order problems were fixed for the
Versions tab of the Validator Settings.
w.. 26823 - Homesite 5 introduced a new feature, the ability to "Hot
Deploy" files and folders by right clicking in the project tree. This "quickie
deploy" method would allow rapid updates to web sites without having to set up
remote servers and deployment scripts. There was a problem however in the way
the remote deployment path would be calculated which would result in some file
targets as being calculated as "C:\MySiteMyFile.htm" instead of
"C:\MySite\MyFile.htm". A missing slash was added to alleviate this infrequent
problem.
x.. 27649 - "Open from web" now works with IE Bookmarks.
y.. 27661 - The "Verify Project with Linkbot" feature ceased to function
with Homesite 5.0 if an older version of Homesite was not previously on the
machine. This is due to the registry key dependencies and the migration to the
Macromedia registry key hive.
z.. 28211 - The Table Wizard's table designer is now keyboard
accessible. Use the arrow keys to move the cell selection when the designer has
the focus.
aa.. 28279 - Selecting "Esc" or "Ctrl-F1" in the Tag Editor/Tag
Chooser/Expression Builder's popup help now closes the window.
ab.. 28512 - Fixed error that occurs when "Display current folder in
file dialogs" (Options -> Settings -> General) is NOT set and the last accessed
folder has been moved or deleted. The dialog now opens in the moved/deleted
folder's parent. If not parents exist the default application path is opened.
ac.. 28760 - Added key accelerators for the Wizard's "Back", "Next",
"Finish", and "Close" buttons.
ad.. 28889 - "Edit Current Tag" will now always appear at the top of the
Editor's context sensitive menu.
ae.. 28955 - When you add new tags via the Validator Settings tree, you
can now enter them in mixed case with the exception of XHTML tags which are
always converted to lowercase.
af.. 29596 - Fixed incorrect ordering and removal of clipboard items
when the 13th, 14th, and 15th items were added to the clipboard list.
ag.. 29654 - Single file deployment filename display problem: The target
file would occasionally show up with extra '/' characters in them in the
deployment confirmation dialog.
ah.. 29960 - In the validator, certain CFML context checks were not
displaying proper error messages. For example, a lone tag without an outer tag
was producing the following error message:The tag "cfinput" is only allowed
within ""instead of the correct message:The tag "cfinput" is only allowed within
"cfform".This has been fixed.
ai.. 30004 - Column widths in the Files Tab are preserved at all times,
even when changing from a remote folder to a local one or vice versa.
aj.. 30065 - File By File Deployment scripts generated would not work
for local/network mapped drive based deployment. Fixed.
ak.. 30268 - Fixed Replace All from replacing items more than once when
starting the search somewhere other than the top of the document and selecting
"yes" to "Continue search at beginning of document".
al.. 30859 - There was a bug in the attribute parsing. The tab char was
not being recognized as a delimiter. Fixed.
am.. 31578 - Deployment FTP Server Properties: The Use SSL checkbox
property which was added in Homesite 5.0 was not being stored to the project
.APF file properly. Subsequent opens of the project file would incorrectly set
it on even if it was unchecked in the FTP server properties dialog. This yielded
benign but annoying messages for non SSL aware servers.
an.. 33321 - Fixed Access Violation that occurred when Quickbar is
toggled off and choosing "Restore to Defaults" in Options | Customize.
ao.. 34515 - Using Search and Replace in the "Up" direction now works
correctly when it reaches the top and is continued from the bottom of the
document.
ap.. 37740 - Fixed error in Projects: "List Index Out of Bounds (-1)"
Error if nothing is selected in the "Choose Source Control Provider" dialogue
box.
aq.. 39812 - In the settings tree keyboard accessibility has been
enhanced for browsing through the various codesweeper profiles.
ar.. 46477 - When no project was currently active, the "Verify Links"
project menu option was active.
as.. 46653 - Due to patent issues with Unisys, GIF image rendering had
to be removed from Homesite. GIF image filters were removed from the Image Map
file browse dialog. Note that you can also turn this off in the Extension
Manager (Options-Settings).
at.. 46931 - "Open from Web..." now works with Netscape 6's bookmarks.
au.. 46947 - Netscape 6.2 and/or Mozilla 1.0 can now be fully used as
the internal browser in Homesite. In order for either of these to work you must
register the internal ActiveX control associated with each product, Mozctlx.dll.
To do this follow these steps:1. Open a DOS Windows. . Change to the appropriate
product directory. For Netscape 6.2, type the following:cd "\Program
Files\Netscape\Netscape 6"register the Mozctlx.dll file using the following
command:regsvr32 Mozctlx.dll (enter)For Mozilla 1.0, simply substitute the path
"\Program Files\Mozilla.org\Mozilla"Either version of the control should work.
The Mozilla 1.0 version of the control is the most up to date.
av.. 48836 - The List Item (li) tag editor no longer outputs an empty
value for the type attribute. Selecting the first value (#1) will also not
output the type attribute as it is the default value.
aw.. 47903 - The browse button in the Image tag will have "Web Images"
as the default file type which will allow all file types that have been marked
as "image" in the Extension Manager to be displayed.
ax.. 12642 - Fixed Site View's nodes to properly display special
characters in their title.
ay.. 47381 - The codesweeper settings dialog has had some minor redesign
work to improve its usability.
az.. 1808 - Document tabs now automatically "scroll" into view when
closing the last opened document.
ba.. 25169 - Fixed IMFL tag editors and to output the correct tag name.
