Hi Yannick, no problem. Yeah any improvement will be great. I installed the editor on my localbox and I changed a few things. Like saving the latest used language in a cookie to have it as default in the dropbox menu and simple things like that. I saw that you added a new feature to have multiple admins and you added me there but now I can´t see anyones files. Is this normal?
Thanks man, talk you soon.
