If I have several files open in Pinegrow 9.01,
It indicates the current one with blue underlining in page view.
it also does the same in the code view.
I can have the code view open for one page and the Page view open for a different page, only the
Blue underlining tells me which is which.
HOWEVER, if I click on anything in page view OR as in this video, click opt/alt click some code to to find the corresponding element in the page view, the blue file indicator to show which code file is being edited dissapears.
SO i no longer know which code page I’m editing or the relationship of it to which page view.
I therefore end up editing the wrong code.
So while the page view blue indicator remains, the code view one instantly disappears once the corresponding page view is clicked and since the code editor name tabs are not big enough to display the entire file name, I cant tell which code page I was originally editing and which one is currently selected.
In the above (crappy, the mouse doesnt show up) video,
I start with both corresponding page and code views open.
upon the first page view click, I loose the code page indicator.
Page view remains.
Personally, id like a way to keep the page and code view in sync, so I am editing what I see.
Id also like to keep it like this for copying and pasting
so not sure how that would work out/be implemented
Yes ,you have got that part correct, but thats not the issue, that works correctly. It is described just to indicate how to notice the problem.
Open mutiple files, so you have multiple code views open, and mulitple page views in visual editor, with thier names in tabs at the top of the visual and code editor, then when you click between them on code or visual view, you will see the PG code editor indicate which page is selected with a blue bar under the file name tab
Now click on page view, select different pages….. the code view tab name indicator dissapears.
you are now viewing differing page and code views = the no longer correleate and you have no way of know which code view tab is the one for the page view tab your viewing as the tabs are too short to read the full file names and the code editor has lost its file name tab , blue underling indicator…
hang on!
ive said all this.. and done a crappy lil video.
Go re read
hee hee
blue file indecator dissapears from code view tabs and you cant tell which code page your editing as you
obviously if your sensibley sometimes using an external code editor you wont notice this.
I can see how its a bit confusing as…its confused me each time I leave PG for a good while, return and end up editing the wrong files in it, which is a tad infuriating, until I realise and have to remember just another little quirk to pay atttention to
