I just want to add to this discussion that... I have investigated some of this functionality and view it as "Why do I need this." >As far as the multiple environments (local, testing, sandbox, production), >simply having multiple definitions is one easy way to handle that. (i.e. >SiteDef1: local > testing SiteDef2 Local > Production or testing > production) Although, that is a workaround, it would be a huge pain. Either you would have 2 full copies of the site on your local machine (not practical) or you have to jump from machine to machine to make something live (even less practical). >I've been around MM since the early days of MM.

The perception of Dreamweaver is the exact opposite. I always viewed it as a GUI tool. >I don't know what else to say about RDS/FTP in the open/save dialog. It's >not there, I know you want it.

What are the differences between HomeSite+ and CF Studio 5? When will we get a ColdFusion Studio 6? I'll settle for updated vtm definitions for CFMX. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer? Contact me!
