120550 - View Page Source + Edit Page With...

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002011604

"View Page Source" is very good feature, unlike Internet Explorer's editing in
in Notepad by default. But IN ADDITION to this feature there should be a feature
"Edit Page With...", so you could add any application to it's submenu.

After customizing it could look like this:

Edit Page With > Browse for application...
                 Add application to this list
                 Edit applications list
                 -----------------------------
                 Mozilla Composer
                 Macromedia Dreamweaver
                 Macromedia HomeSite
                 EditPlus
                 Open in Opera
                 TextPad
                 MS Notepad if you use it

I know a lot of people that will be really happy to use this feature!

There are two variants: Mozilla could save a page in the temp directory, or it
can open "Save To..." dialog and open from that location.

I'm very sorry, but it isn't a duplicate. As you see, I recommend to add a MENU
with option to include MORE THAN ONE editors, and this is much better! This
option should be like it is in Dreamweaver, or HomeSite, or PageMill, where you
can send page to more than one browser. Sometimes you want to view page source,
sometimes you want to view or edit it in WYSIWYG editor, and sometimes, of
course, you want to edit it in HTML source editor (simple, or more powerful,
depending on what do you want to do in the moment). So, if you have to
reconfigure editor EVERY TIME, or to use ONLY NOTEPAD, which is very poor
editor, and doesn't work with files >65Kb, it will be very uncomfortable, so you
should better Save As... this page and open it manually!

->future, due to no time for new features in this release, but thank you!

[Alexander Hessentswey]

Not at all! And thank you! Me and my friends will be happy to use this feature
in future! (Mozilla will be the first browser, in which great built-in View Page
Source will come together with comfortable Edit With.)

Comment 8

[Robert Kaiser]

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
