Here's the things I miss/would like to see. * file manager... please? * project to-do list * import colors from stylesheets for project * export program settings for use on other computers - convenient when you've customized your tag highlight colors * continuously highlighted brackets when your cursor is within that function/propery/tag fixes: * the code-folding doesn't seem to work consistently when I switch between different pages I'm working on - sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't. Even if I turn it off, it will sometimes be on again when I restart * some crashes here and there - only one I can remember specifically has to do with putting up a bunch of user defined tag buttons and it would continuously crash - had to reset all toolbars & start again * for whatever reason, sometimes the intellisense just does... nothing. I have to hit ctr-space to get it to pop up That's about it. Good luck on your work. Oliver Just thought I’d add my 2 cents. :) I love WC05, looking forward to WC.net.

* project to-do list

* continuously highlighted brackets when your cursor is within that function/propery/tag

fixes:
* the code-folding doesn’t seem to work consistently when I switch between different pages I’m working on - sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn’t. Even if I turn it off, it will sometimes be on again when I restart
* some crashes here and there - only one I can remember specifically has to do with putting up a bunch of user defined tag buttons and it would continuously crash - had to reset all toolbars & start again
* for whatever reason, sometimes the intellisense just does… nothing. I have to hit ctr-space to get it to pop up

That’s about it. Good luck on your work.

Here’s a couple things I miss; the more stars, the more I miss it. :)

* The files panel
** The project to-do list
* The automatically highlighted (light grey) backgrounds for any echo/variable statements in PHP - I couldn’t figure out how to do this in WebPAD
** Auto-add colors from project stylesheets
* separators for the toolbars
* ability to make the auto-hide toolbars immediately hide
** PHP/MYSQL tabs

Things I’d *love* to see in WebCoder.NET

*** auto-highlighting the brackets - not just when you click right next to them, but anytime the cursor is within that function - WeBuilder has this, and it is *very* helpful
*** tag breadcrumb trail - used in 1stPage - also is very helpful when you have many nested tags/functions

That’s about it. Good luck in your progress! By the way, as far as the image explorer is concerned.. I don’t use it all that much, but if it were implemented better, I likely would.

I think WebPad.NET turned out pretty good as well, but there's always room for improvements :). Be sure to let me know if there's anything else you want me to look into for the coming release :) Hi Tobias,

Ment more like so simple bugs, like the validation of files and syntax coloring, they would be so easy to find if weŽd only thought about it =) And as a first app on a new framework its very well made, so Im sorry for my last comment!

I've only heard from a couple of people, reporting minor bugs, after the final release. But as we all know, a 100% bug-free application is not really possible :). If you do find any problems, be sure to let me know, so I can look into it for the upcoming release. Hi Tobias,

Another bug that Ive mentioned before is the syntax coloring, if you for example print ?> in a string it thinks php ends even though its a php function echoing it for example. IŽll return when I remember the rest =/ Regards Tobias Hi,
