Coda with some Issues
I have to say that I love Coda from the guys at Panic. When I first saw the Panic Sans font, I was sold! It's a great tool for keeping moderate-sized web sites up to date if you're a coder, which I am. I mean, I'm not going to give this to my 10-year old daughter - she needs more graphical tools, but for me, this is a great combination of editor/preview/transfer/docs that makes this easier.
But there are some issues I found this morning in doing a major overhaul of my web site at the new host I have. They are not horrible, but just really, really annoying.
The construction tools are great. It's nice that it's all in one tool with a good editor - I've got SubEthaEdit, and like it a lot. I also like the integration with Transmit and have registered that as well. I like the preview, but I wish it would let me set the default fonts like I can with every browser on the market - this would make the preview look more accurate, but I've already sent them something on that.
No, this is about the uploading capabilities of Coda. Basically, I added a CSS style sheet to my web site and that included several graphics files - all of which were placed into one directory for ease of use. The problem was that the uploading of these files didn't respect the directory structure, and so it got "flattened" on upload and made a mess. When I had multiple files in different directories with the same name, the 'latest' one uploaded won. It was a pain to clean up, but now that I know the problems, and until I get a fix from them, I'm liable to use Cyberduck as my uploader as it doesn't make these types of mistakes. I sent them the bug report and we'll see what happens.
