And do add to what Matt said, Allaire (pre MM) added an option to DISABLE the design tab (at the request of users), and also had popup warnings when switching to that mode.
I know of no one who liked or used that feature regularly. It was one of the most complained about features in the product. Removing it was not a way to push other products (hey, we've been doing that since even before there was a design mode, never noticed the Dreamweaver integration?), it was about removing a feature that caused more complaints and annoyance than it was worth. That's it. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Matt Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 1:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: UltraDev >Hi, basically with CF Studio 4.5.x, you used to get a design tab for >performing the visual site of web design - this has now been removed >from CF Studio 5 (due to the Allaire/Macromedia merger) and the design >is expected to be done with Dreamweaver. This is not correct. The Design Tab was removed because the code was not maintainable and the feature in focus groups received very little praise. UD is a better visual editor (although not a better code editor at this point) and most users actually had it already so we thought that the removal was a better solution than having team members work on that at the expense of features that people really did want and ask for. _________________________________________________________ Matt Brown Community Manager Macromedia (650) 481-4525 [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
