Sean, Good to see that other people are tinkering with the files that DW creates.
BTW, What I meant by divided file/folder browsing was that in Homesite and Windows Explorer for that matter, you have your folder list in one panel, and your file list in another panel. This really is more efficient for browsing to a file. I found the split pane more distracting than useful most times, additionally, I also find that I tend to break my larger files up on my own projects instead of trying to have miles of code, which then DW allows you to have both files open in seperate windows for easy reference :) An example of what I use Snippet Shorcuts for: <cfquery name="get" datasource="#Request.DS#"> </cfquery> That's used so often, having it mapped to CTRL+ALT+Q really speed things up for me! - Calvin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean A Corfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 3:57 PM Subject: Re: Homesite + question > On Thursday, Jun 26, 2003, at 09:53 US/Pacific, Calvin Ward wrote: > > 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've used a few editors which have the divided view and not found it as > useful as I might have hoped.
