Having used Coda for about two weeks now (I bought a copy last week), there’s one thing I suddenly noticed today: it’s no longer as much of a hassle to switch between projects as it used to be.
To explain: previously, when working on a project, I would have BBEdit open with several different files, a Finder-window with all files, a Transmit-session to the webserver via FTP, and a Terminal-window with SSH to the webserver. These would all be “customized” to that particular project. If I had to switch to a different project for just a short while, it meant duplicating windows to open the same ones with files and content for the other project etc etc.
With Coda, I hit Cmd+1 to go to the sites-pane, doubleclick the site/project I want to switch to, and voila! All the files I previously had open for that site/project opens up in the same order on the tab bar, Transmit Turbo connects to my FTP-server, the SSH-pane is ready to connect, and the sidebar opens a “Finder”-window in the correct location for my local files.
The beauty of web development software created by web developers.
Is their a Coda port for Windows, Eirik?
Unfortunately not, the guys at Panic are pretty much \”OSX-only\” (probably one of the reasons they make such awesome software for Mac)
Coda is nice, only thing is that I wish there was a saving for publishing all files always instead of having to hit enter after every publish.
Ah yes, there should be a per-project option for this. Email them the suggestion, they\’ll probably add it
