Nice package and really easy to use. Thanks. I never knew it was there. But no php preview. My installation says: PHP3 Debugger listens on port 7869 but alas no php preview. Really close though.
I think that's only a problem if you're coming from an OS where the tradition is for every app to try to do some of every other app's work :-). What I do is save the pages into public_html, and have a browser open to that page - every time I make a change I refresh that page to show it. (Of course, you need mod_php and MySQL - if you're using it - installed for this to work.) Just as quick as pressing a preview button. And of course there's nothing to stop you having several different browsers (including IE if you have a win PC on the network) open to the same page, to see what it looks like in all of them. I actually find it dubious that Quanta Gold has an FTP client built in, given that there are so many FTP clients on the average Linux distro, but I think it is probably because QG also runs on Windows, and clients there are few and far between on your basic install ....
Is it agreed that the editors that come with hancom, oo and the like are not useable? (oh dear, one question per thread no!)
Hancom uses a version of QG, so it is pretty good (except for the x-html mimetype gotcha - see previous threads). I haven't used SO or OO, but I did get my son using Mozilla Composer as an experiment (HTML might be a bit of a shock at that age!). This was not at all bad for a visual editor to be used in short snatches, but in my view it is not really there yet for work purposes, since it had a good few "oddities". If you're not a Vi or Emacs type, then Quanta is the only show in town at the minute, IMHO. Kevin
