Excellent, thanks for the update. Keep up the sterling work fellas

Vincent, they should be demo reminder nags. They’d be used in a context where the app says “Purchase Now” or similar.

#4 - December 14th, 2009 at 1:58 PM

Ismail, please send whatever problems you experience to espresso@macrabbit.com along with any context info you can give. We can’t fix what we don’t know about!

This looks like a nice release, however what exactly is the Image Preview “feature” for? I phrase it like that because I can’t tell what useful function it is supposed to perform. Nor can I find any documentation on it (website or Help in the app). I have to say your documentation in general is pretty flimsy and unhelpful.
Is the “feature’ simply the fact that clicking on an image in the file list now shows the image in the main window? If so, what was the point of adding that, and did it really warrant a major feature bullet point on the website?? Seeing just a single image is pretty useless. You can’t even click on a folder and get a grid preview of all the images in the folder, although I’m not sure if that would be of any more use.
I found that you can drag the file proxy of an image from the file list into a page of code, but all it inserts is the full local path name (/Users/name/Documents/etc.) rather than a relative path, so again I can’t see what the actual point would be.
Enlightenment?

So far everything is working great. So glad the image preview function is there. I hated having to reveal in finder to verify what image is what.

I meant snow leopard sorry. I’m still on the pre snow leapord version…

Something is wrong with the updater. I’ve tried to auto-update feature within Espresse and it downloads it. Once the download is finished my Espresse icon jumps twice on my dock and when I click on it I just get back to my original Espresso window (no dialogue box about the update). If I then click on “Check for Updates” it tells me that an update is already in progress. Tried it 3 times so far. No luck. I’m gonna try a manual update now (downloading from your site).

Thx
Kai

Turns out the update was not so big after all, so I updated and am back up and running with Espresso.. 1.1 is super cool!!

#16 - December 14th, 2009 at 5:16 PM

Hmm, actually the sidebar pallets might be remembering their positions after all. Looks like you have to set the position manually for each file in your project using the file list (not the workspace) instead of setting the pallet size/position within the application itself. I wonder if there’s a way to set it universally?

#18 - December 14th, 2009 at 5:56 PM

This is awesome!

#20 - December 14th, 2009 at 7:07 PM

Updater failed for me too.

#22 - December 14th, 2009 at 7:39 PM

These updates are great! Thanks for your continued hard work on this great app

#24 - December 14th, 2009 at 8:08 PM

Kyle: this is coming in 1.1.1, promise!

#26 - December 14th, 2009 at 8:44 PM

Kyle: it will be the beginning of January, most likely. We also want to clean up any remaining bugs the 1.1 release didn’t fix.

Very nice update. One complaint, I have a bunch of open files in my “WORKSPACE” area. You introduced the pretty auto scroll feature in that area so when I mouse over the arrow, it scrolls up/down appropriately however, I’d really like to be able to drag the separator bar between the “WORKSPACE” and “FILES” area – I have the files open in my workspace for a reason and it’s hard to see what’s there very easily when I have to scroll.

#32 - December 14th, 2009 at 9:24 PM

Wow! The update is looking quite promising. I bought your app back when you released it but didn’t use it because of the bugs and the (sucky) feel of the app. I then gave Coda a try and it was just perfect! But now after your 1.1 update I think I will start using Espresso full-time. All I ask for is that you DON*T integrate CSSEdit but instead try to make Espresso a kick-ass editor w/ awesome FTP sync/upload. I for instance don’t want a visual CSS editor like in Coda or other (useless) fancy visual stuff…

#34 - December 14th, 2009 at 9:35 PM

Nick, your old projects should open fine. Be sure to email us with any problems you have!

So far I’m enjoying that new version a lot. I’m joining Kyle in the image size preview topic. Also one more thing, why move the server settings down below the sidebar in the publish section. Been searching for it over 5 minutes. Sure it’s a good place for it, but please allow us to keep it back in the main Toolbar. Right now it’s not even available in the Toolbar customization. One more thing for 1.1.1 release I guess.

Anyway thanks much for all your work on this. Espresso is amazing.

#40 - December 15th, 2009 at 8:33 AM

Can you add some default phtml support? It bugs the crap out of me that I have to keep selecting php and html manually!

#42 - December 15th, 2009 at 10:49 AM

+ phtml support
+ next to preview and window maybe have Projects, so you have quick access to projects
+ mysql statements seem to highlight wrong. $db->query(”SELECT * FROM”); – SELECT will be a different colour.
+ Option to make code folding always visible? I would like to be able to see at a quick glance

#44 - December 15th, 2009 at 12:05 PM

Well I like this release a lot but one thing bugs the hell out of me.

I can’t save on my network disk. I can create a project, add server settings and upload the files to the server, but I can’t save the files to my network disk. I can actually save as… and overwrite the file, but I cant just do “save”. All I get is this error: “cannot save blabla.php”.

Am I missing something here, or is this a major bug?

Thank you so much. Stuck with Espresso despite the multitude of annoying crashes; finally been updated and fixed. Thanks

#50 - December 15th, 2009 at 7:20 PM

Oh and could you add live editing on server-side? That would really helpful for editing wordpress designs.

#52 - December 15th, 2009 at 9:37 PM

I like the new project manager and the floating workspace! Thanks for the update!

#54 - December 16th, 2009 at 9:24 AM

Espresso is just… GREAT!

I just discovered that Espresso uses Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, which are much better than POSIX ones (*). Cool! But the end of line marker ‘$’ doesn’t seem to work…

I’m also missing a feature that could be very nice: when I’m modifying an opening tag, I would like the corresponding closing tag to be automatically modified, too. For example, if I want to change to blablabla to blablabla, I just want to have to change the first “div” (wit a little animation showing that he closing tag is also being changed )

(*) PCRE are more powerful and faster that POSIX RE. For example you can set quantifiers as non-greedy with the ‘?’ modifier: will stop at the FIRST occurrence of a tag.

#56 - December 16th, 2009 at 11:35 PM

Grrrr… Didn’t work…

How to you write tags in comments?

#58 - December 16th, 2009 at 11:46 PM

I meant “automatic and global indenting”.

In case it’s not clear:
- by “global” indenting, I mean an option in the “Actions” menu that would allow to indent all the (selected) text.
- by “automatic” indenting, I mean when I write an opening tag and hit “enter” I want the indentation to be correct (left-shifted regarding to the opening tag)

#60 - December 17th, 2009 at 12:50 AM

Where do you submit nag-messages to? Hmnmn….

#62 - December 19th, 2009 at 5:09 PM

Just wanted to express my gratitude to you guys for making this update. I’m now using it to develop/style in a complex system like Magento with ease. Synchronization with the remote server is astonishing. Thanks for the great app and even greater update

#64 - January 3rd, 2010 at 5:40 PM

The one feature I’d like to see is a much tighter integration with CSSEdit, either by bringing the full CSSEdit functionality into Espresso or by improving livepreview to work from both products (make a css change in CSSEdit, the Espresso preview updates, even without saving or going back to it, that kind of idea).

Good job!

#66 - January 5th, 2010 at 12:58 AM

Although I have Dreamweaver, I use Espresso and CSSedit every single day – LOVE them both. But, I have two issues…

Several times a day, I’m unable to preview my html pages in Espresso – it starts to render them, but never finishes. I usually just save my work and open the page up in Safari. Along the same lines, Espresso NEVER quits (I have to force it to quit). Any ideas on what I should try to fix these issues?

When I double click a CSS page, it always opens up in Espresso, not CSSedit. On a page-by-page basis, I instruct the Finder to use CSSedit – is there a way to do this globally?

Thanks for two great products!

Dave

#68 - January 7th, 2010 at 11:26 PM

I sent you a mail about troubles with ftp remote connection and about other bugs… but no answer after many days… i’m dissappointed about Espresso (instead I’m glad about CssEdit). I think Espresso is still a premature software for this price (ftp remote connection troubles, bad integration with CssEdidt). Good design but I would not have bought.
