Macromedia Studio 8 is going to be out soon and I can´t wait! I´ve got a very strange way of using Dreamweaver since the custom template systems I use and the fact that I do most linking using 404 redirects in htaccess means that the page view never gets it right and most of the other helpful features just screw up the site (like the checking for updated links thing). My main use of it is for the code highlighting and function completion features as well as the automatic ftp upload.
But that´s why I can´t wait for version 8. The ftp bit is annoying me more and more recently. Although our ftp servers aren´t particularly slow the upload process takes ages and I probably end up wasting an hour or so a day waiting for the files to get uploaded. The fact that it really slows down the PC while it´s doing it means I can´t do anything else at the time either!
Enter my saviour. Dreamweaver 8 and it´s background ftp feature. Aces!
I want Dreamweaver 8 now!!
