Sean, Ahh, you and I are in the same shoes then on loving DW, I've been using DW since 1, and for CF dev since MX.
I guess I was mostly curious about some of the gaps between CF Studio and MX, such as Snippet Shortcuts, divided file/folder browsing, filepath in the title bar and so forth. I really enjoy working in DW, and don't find it impedes me at all, though the three things I mentioned are pretty significant shortcomings. Even so much as that I'm currently working on an app to leverage Design Notes (.mno) and .bak/.lck files to do some neat things for poor man's source control with CFMX... - Calvin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean A Corfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 11:40 AM Subject: Re: Homesite + question > On Thursday, Jun 26, 2003, at 08:05 US/Pacific, Calvin Ward wrote: > > Does your team use DWMX?
