Congrats Jan!

Suggestions:

the XRay thing is neat - but it needs to do more. You need to be able to double click or right click or something and be taken to that selector in the CSS, or to simultaneously see the parts of the CSS that are applying to that particular element. See Xyle Scope for an idea what I mean.

Also, it would be nice - heck, great - to be able to select something in the preview and then say ‘make a selector for this element’ - and have the correct selector pre-created in the CSS for you. Selectors are at least 50% of the magic (or voodoo) of CSS I think.

Oh - and where’s text-shadow ?

Hey Jan, congrats on the release! looks awesome. I’ve got a license for CSSedit 1.7.4. Do I have to fully pay to get CSSedit 2.0 or is the upgrade less expensive?
Thanks for your reply and your work

#8 - November 6th, 2006 at 5:41 PM

Thanks for the info on the upgrade price. How do we take advantage of it? Thanks!

#10 - November 6th, 2006 at 6:02 PM

Wooohooo! This is a fantastic update Jan! Congratulations on the release.

#12 - November 6th, 2006 at 6:52 PM

Yes! CSSEdit has made developing websites so much easier. CSSEdit has always been one of my favourite apps and it still is. Great work MacRabbit!

#14 - November 6th, 2006 at 7:33 PM

Oh man, you have no idea how happy I am to see this released. Great job…it’s an indispensable tool.

#16 - November 6th, 2006 at 8:56 PM

Wow - just tried out the live update feature on our live site - and double wow for giving me a free upgrade as I’d only bought it a few weeks ago. Cheers!

#18 - November 6th, 2006 at 10:02 PM

This is the most impressive app update I have seen in a long time. I have been using this app since 2004 (I think?) and it is pretty much indispensable. With this new feature set, well, WOW. I’ll drop for the upgrade when I get paid.

#20 - November 6th, 2006 at 10:15 PM

Hey Jan,

my dreamapp: Actionscript3Edit in the style of CSSEdit

#22 - November 6th, 2006 at 11:53 PM

Hey. Great app.
I know you just had big release and are riding high on that, and feature requests are the last thing you want to hear at this point, but here goes:

Would there be any way to replicate IE 5+, 6 and 7 css quirks? Because that would make this THE killer webdev app. Knowing it renders OK in WebKit and validates is nice but that’s really only ever the beginning, as any web developer knows.

#24 - November 7th, 2006 at 12:24 AM

Hi Jan, CSS Edit is my dream app for me!!

#26 - November 7th, 2006 at 1:07 AM

Matthew, the free upgrade is only for buyers after May 2006, I fear.

#28 - November 7th, 2006 at 1:29 AM

Wow, that icon is hilarious. Well done!

#30 - November 7th, 2006 at 2:24 AM

Awesome update - I paid for it before I had even downloaded it. Great work - CSSEdit has earned it’s place in my dock many times over!

#32 - November 7th, 2006 at 2:39 AM

Holy Freakin’ Cow!

Like someone mentioned a little earlier - this is the most impressive 2.0 of anything I’ve seen in a looooooong time! Congrats.

#34 - November 7th, 2006 at 3:25 AM

I just bought my license and was all excited until I realized that there isn’t any way to edit the styles that are embeded in the pages style tag….huh? Please add support for this or let me know how it can be done. Otherwise, great app.

#36 - November 7th, 2006 at 8:01 AM

Jan, proficiat! Nu moet ik wel een MBP met 10.4 kopen …

#38 - November 7th, 2006 at 12:44 PM

one word: incredible like it!

#40 - November 7th, 2006 at 3:23 PM

I see you already got my trackback, so I don’t have to tell you I’m absolutely amazed at the functionality of the new version. It works the way I do and I love it. In combination with TextMate and Transmit it’s my dream editing suite.

I’ve always wished I could edit in Xylescope and now I’m way closer to that dream with X-Ray. I still use Xylescope for debugging and don’t really expect you to incorporate all of its functions. As mentioned by other commentors, a few of them would be nice. Being able to imitate different rendering engines/quirks would be stunning. The idea of creating a new selector with a right click in X-Ray is cool, but could get complicated in projects with deeply embedded selectors (see most blog/cms apps). Clicking a selector and running a search for everything in the stylesheet that affects it, on the other hand, would be a must-have improvement!

I’m absolutely in love with the override feature and the fact that it automatically overrides when I download a stylesheet with transmit to Edit in CSSEdit. If I could get TextMate to do that, well… heaven.

Great work and I look forward to the future.

Brett

[…] Genervt vom umständlichen Bearbeiten von CSS-Dateien? Langweilt das ständige Ändern, Speichern, Seite neu laden? Für die Mac-Nutzer hilft bei dieser Art von Arbeit CSSEdit, das jetzt in Version 2 erschienen ist. Stylesheet-Informationen können hierbei direkt aus dem Browser heraus angepasst werden. Alle Strukturelemente lassen sich intuitiv editieren und die geänderte Darstellung in einer Live-Vorschau direkt in Aktion betrachtet werden. Bei umfangreichen Änderungen im Stylesheet hilft der Milestone-Modus: nach Rumspielen an der Optik kann auf vorher gesicherte Zwischenpunkte zurückgesprungen werden - keine Gefahr mehr, das lang optimierte CSS-Design beim Ausprobieren zu ruinieren . Einmal fertiggestellt kann das neue Design schließlich automatisch validiert werden, um evtl. Missstände aufzudecken. […]

Guys! You did an amazing job with the 2.0 release! The UI improvements are awesome, the speed of CSSEdit makes Style Master feel old and pained. Really good stuff! It came at exactly the right time.

#46 - November 8th, 2006 at 4:49 AM

1. As stated many times already, the X-ray selection needs to be highlighted in the CSS. Preferably, a click on an element should take you to the relevant selector in the CSS. It seems so blindingly obvious, and utterly missing, from a user’s perspective. Why was it not done?

2. The preview should have been a separate pane, not a separate window. My guess is that just about everyone using CSSEdit 2 lines up the two windows to see the live changes to the code. One resizable window across the display with the ability to toggle the views would be much more useful and elegant.

#48 - November 8th, 2006 at 11:19 AM

Nevermind, it happens automaticly
I’ll be buying this by tonight!

#50 - November 8th, 2006 at 5:03 PM

While it’s a great app., I still have to switch to other editors.

–One window option would be great.
–Embedded CSS editing in an HTML page would be better.
–Right-clicking or keyboarding edits in X-Ray would also be genius.

Thanks.

Here’s an idea: Make an (X)HTML-editor based on the same principles!
Right now I’m using TextMate, but I miss the auto-complete functions Dreamweaver gives you… I _could_ use DW, but I like working with little responsive apps like CSSEdit…

#54 - November 10th, 2006 at 1:49 PM

Hi, the new version is amazing, but there is one thing that i’m missing, and that is function of sorting all the styles in a) alphabetical order b) in type order etc.

That would be so great!

#56 - November 12th, 2006 at 5:27 PM

Another small detail:
When I set the same style for different items, CSSEdit does the next:
.style1; .style2 {
}

What I would like is:
.style1,
.style2 {
}

I am having problems with it herew at my work when trying to validate a CSS file. We are behind a Cisco Proxy here with reasonably tied down ports and using a pac file which works well for web browsing but when I try to validate it says it cannot connect to the W3C
