Bah, my editor of choice, Geany, does all eight to some extent. Only to some extent, because it does not have search in directories (unless you happen to have all the files of a directory open), and it does not have code snippets aside from file templates. I never noticed these two as my directory search is usually performed with grep (or a derivative of grep), and code snippet insertion is not a concern for me.

    You might want to take a look at Komodo Edit. I think the only thing it doesn't have is the right-click option to change case, but you can change the highlighted text to uppercase with Ctrl-U or to lowercase with Ctrl-Shift-U. (For all I know, there may even be a way to add that to the right-click menu, but if there is, I'm not aware of it.)

    +1 that's what I use... it has a small problem on some PCs where it freezes for a bit when you switch tabs, hope you dont have the same problem.

      anyone know if any of the IDES let you browse an image directory and double click to add the image into the html along with its dimensions ?

      it's the only feature of Dreamweaver that I miss when images need to be added individually

        ah but I'm lazy
        if I can get the name and dimensions then i can type or edit the full path but DW makes it simple

          If you have the dimensions the page will use them for layout right off
          Without the dims the page does the html first then readjusts to draw the pics - so the draw is smoother if you have the dimensions already in there. Agreed it's not always noticeable but I got into the habit of adding them.

            You could write a PHP script to read the directory, use getimagesize() to get the dimensions, and then output the tag text so that they could be easily copy-and-pasted. 🙂 (Maybe make re-sized thumbnails on the fly, too, so you know which image you're copying?)

              Komodo editor I tried and it kind of sucked

              So far the best thing I've run across is phpDesigner

              I to like the way it gives you the php help on php specific functions and also on functions in your own project if you add the design type comments...

              although I wrote those functions I can see where it would be very useful when looking at other peoples scripts.

              I went ahead and bought a couple and I'll poke around with it for the next year but the really annoying thing about it is when you display white space and set the color to say a light grey so you can see the white spaces. Problem is it changes as it gets mixed up in the code, so if you have a space in a string the white space changes from grey to the color of the string....very, very annoying and the same thing occurs with the EOL

                    Komodo can do both of those things, too. You may need to specify an "project" so that Komodo knows which files to scan for function/class/method definitions, however -- but I always work within a defined Komodo project, in part for that reason.

                    PHPDesigner is quite good, though, and I'm not bashing it by any means. One reason I abandoned it, though, is that I could not find a way to specify multi-line searches or replaces in it. Have they fixed that, yet? (Also, it was Windows-only, and I prefer to be able to work on any platform.)

                      why do you need a editor or a script to get images why not just write one line ("<img src =" "/>) then use ctrl + C then ctrl + v copy paste is easy and fast and most computers have it.

                      but if you are looking for a nice little php edtor checkout codelobster they have many of the features you need and then some more. also supports codeigniter , drupal , jquery , wordpress , etc...

                        copy and paste is not as quick as clicking on the image and have it filled in for you in the editor

                        (..if I'm posting on here about editors do you think it likely I don't know about copy and paste ? :queasy: )

                        some of the designs I build sites for have lots of images that appear on every page, so don't warrant being in the CMS

                        will add codelobster to my list.. thanks
