#Coda 2 serial number code#
I liked the old file + code navigator combo - let me organize them please hints - sometimes buggy on not picking up I'm in a function - as well as not recognizing any standard PHP classes."smart" indent - despite having auto indent off when I press tab it will indent how far it thinks it should instead of 1 delimiter.syntax highlighting - went from config per language to 1 size fits all.no where near as accurate.Books - the language reference for all the languages is very nice to have.How each tab is a focused editor of some type, where before each tab had 1/5 "modes".Good use of the GUI - lots of real-estate to visualize and edit code.Breadcrumbs - very nice especially the interactivity with browsing files.Set keyword for a clip, type, hit tab, enter text, hit tab for the placeholders, repeat Hopefully the Espresso developers are working on things, especially since they face more competition from Coda 2, but they have seemed a bit slow on development to me, and there isn't much communication regarding what is being worked on. That said, there are a couple features I'd love to see integrated into Espresso. Otherwise, you'd be better off sticking with Textmate or Sublime. If you are a designer/front-end coder or use PHP primarily, Coda makes a lot of sense. It also depends on what sort of coder you are. If you're working on a large application, those thumbnails/tabs get unwieldy when you're dealing with more than 8 documents at once. I'm definitely not a fan of the large file thumbnails at the top of the page. Coda 2 is definitely an improvement over Coda 1, but it's not really for me. I think Panic is trying a bit too hard, and I'd much rather a smaller, focused application than something that tries to combine everything within one app. Though I purchased Coda and maybe the interface will grow on me, I'm sticking with Espresso for now.īasically, I feel like Coda is going the Dreamweaver route - too many features, not really enough quality. I was a long time Coda user, then semi-recently switched to Espresso once Coda began to feel a bit old. I’m not entirely sure if it actually is slower or if that’s just the result of an unfamiliar UI and the issues I mentioned above. I wasn’t doing anything particularly taxing, once it was just sitting idle.
These may not seem like large problems, but each one slows down my workflow and I’m not sure I understand the reasoning behind them.Ĭoda 2 has also crashed on me twice since I installed it today. Now you have to click on the Publish icon in the sidebar. This was extremely handy for seeing at-a-glance which files had changed and were marked for publishing. In Coda 1 I could instantly see which files had changed in the sidebar thanks to the little blue dot indicator next to the file name. No more marked-for-publishing indicator in the Files sidebar. Coda 2 should automatically show me that window when I invoke Publish with a keyboard shortcut. I have to manually click on the Publish icon in the sidebar to see which files are marked and deselect them there. In Coda 2 all it shows is the “Are you sure” modal window – no file list. In Coda 1 when I hit control-command-P to Publish it shows me a list of files marked for publishing and lets me select or deselect individual files. You can’t deselect individual files after using the Publish function via keyboard shortcut, or see a list of which files will be published. At the very least I would expect some sort of import/conversion tool for old color schemes. When function declarations and variables are a totally different color that what I’m used to it takes longer to scan through code. Of all the quirks and issues this one bothers me the most and will slow me down more than the others. This new version has a “simplified syntax coloring” which seems to also make it more difficult to fine tune color schemes. Coda 2 can’t read Coda 1 schemes, so now I have to rebuild my color scheme from scratch for Coda 2. Like the above, I have a custom color scheme that I’m very used to. I’m not looking forward to doing this.Ĭolor schemes for syntax highlighting can’t be imported from Coda 1. Apparently in Coda 2 I have to rebuild that from scratch since I can’t import my old mode. For ages I’ve used a custom PHP-HTML syntax mode for Coda 1. Syntax modes don’t appear to be compatible between Coda 1 and 2. Coda 2 has made some big improvements, but there are some issues as well: I've been using Coda 1 since 2007 and really like it. It's okay, but I'm not wow'ed and am sort of feeling as though I should have waited to buy it.
