same as most, full php and sql support
and pleaaase give me a linux version, and flash for linux too so i can take windows out of my pc

I would love to be able to use multiple server models on a site so that I could mix ASP, CFML, JSP and PHP pages.

Or maybe I'm just being awkward <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

And another wish...

The ability to mark files in the "Site Files" window that should *<b>not</b>* be uploaded. As a flash developer, I often have my .fla sources in the html directory to test the .swf movies in situ with the html pages. Since I don't want to upload the .fla files to my live sites, a simple option to "skip all .fla (or whatever) files for upload" would be great.

i would love to see UD with FULL suport for ASP 3.0

e viva o BENFICA!!!

I totally agree on the XHTML-post. I've tried to edit my objects so that they support XHTML, but still there is issues with some elements like lists.

I want built in applications such as multi poll, membership system, maillist manager, banner management, web based site building based on templates, classifieds, messenger, link indexer that can easily be adapted to any site.

Desired to much !

Sitewide spell check...or spell check selected folders/subfolders...or spellcheck selected files.

Multiple application servers (testing and production).

DWIM button.

I would like to see some auto code filling... dare I say it, like Interdev so I don't have to remember every property, method, ect. that goes with each of my elements.

I wish:
<ul><li>UD on Linux!!</li><li>CVS integration</li><li>XML and SOAP support</li><li>Better DB support</li></ul>
thanks <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle>

<font face='Impact'> When is UD 5 supposed to be released? </font id='Impact'>

No date has yet been released. Only recently various seminars and discussions were held in the US to discover what some developers wanted, but nobody knows yet if a full feature list has yet been compiled.

Having said all this, I would expect the first betas of UD5 to be rolling out in the next few months, but this is purely a guess, and isn't based on any information released by MM (I could be totally wrong).

Pinchio: I hate to say it man, but have you ever tried to use the built in site window. I currently am able to do everything that you are wishing for and more..... The publish button you are wishing for is called synconise in the site window, all you need to do is setup the different sites, and you can promote the exact way you are wishing for....

ripzaw: You are absolutely right, though there is one caveat. I run a Linux-based server, and as such UD is unable to synchronize with the servers clock (I constantly get errors about this).

What does this mean ? Well, unfortunately it means that as it's unable to access the Server's clock it can't synchronize the files, and therefore 9 times out of 10 I have to upload all the files, just to be sure.

This problem exists for everyone that uses a Linux based server unfortunately, and we are therefore unable to take advantage of this feature.

XHTML - definitely!!<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

When Ultradev first came out, it was miles ahead of interdev for ASP coding, mainly because of all the cool dreamweaver functionality, and the drag-and-drop stuff. Now visual studio.net is on its way and ultradev better take a giant step forward with the coding side of things or its going to get left behind.
- the code editor has vast room for improvement - even homesite is better, and how basic is that?
- what about auto code-completion?
- what about proper syntax checking?
- what about printing with line numbers? (homesite does this best!)
- obviously all of the dotNET functionality is required - this is not even an option for Ultradev to stay competitive, in fact if its not there we'll have to go back to using Visual Studio for the code, and dreamweaver for design - AND THAT WAS PAINFUL<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
- and please sort out that FTP!!!

It would be nice to be able to print the design view window.

Sitewide spell check...or spell check selected folders/subfolders...or spellcheck selected files.

Yes I agree.. I've asked about that since 2 or 3..



<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

I would like a real, commercial-strength text editor with Intellisense.

Les

It must only be me then.

What about a full suite cookie handling funtions?

I would love to have UD5 on linux, but then that raises a question of could I connect to a windows db? hmmm

-make it more stable
-he ability to turnoff server behaviours meaning, not have UD parse the page through its XML files to update the displays.
-less bloated code

Guys I don't believe you understand the issue here. Do you guys really work with a Development Server, Staging Server and of course Production/Live Server. If you did you would realize that the synchronization feature your referring to only works within the server your working on. This feature does not allow you to synchronize with another server other than the one you are working on.

I'n a proper setup your team works on the Development server then moves files to the Staging/Test Server before they are finally moved to the Production/Live Server.

During this move You need to copy files from windows explorer mapped to the appropriate remote server to the new server that you are interested in publishing to. i.e. Development remote server to Staging remote server. You will need to use the remote files since your local files are marked read only by Ultradev when they are added to a project.

All this work creates process which takes time. If there was a tool which asked What server to published marked files to and to recurse subdirectories (i.e. maintain directory structure) then this would be so much simpler for site management.

As I've stated before with minimal response would this not be a website managers ideal tool for ultradev.

Thank you for allowing me to respond.

Comments are more than welcome.

I have to agree with Pinchio. I would also like such development-staging-live features.
