Formely, like many others, i used to play with webdevelopper but feel
very frustrating of switching between my text-editor(retreiving the
corresponding line, edit it, save the file) and firefox to finally
refresh the page, when i hadn't forgotten to disable cache!...
what a time saving! i don't dare to beleive it yet and i wonder if i'm
not simply dreaming because, if live-editing functions with firebug
are yet a reality for me, I haven't see how to save changes...
Is there a ftp service to configure and that would allow us to upload
the changed files(html, css...)?(or an other way?)
cheers and congratulation again
to
mypage.html .... mods saved to
"mypage__firebug_20070202_1059.html"
It may seem really low-tech to do a timestamped filename instead of
something more fancy, but consider that firebug is sometimes used by
people with no source control or backups, so it should never assume
that an overwrite of the actual file is desirable. If I do use
Subversion or something and I really want to use those mods, I can
take an extra 10 seconds and delete the original and rename the
firebug-modified one.
Maybe in the future it can be more complex, but I think this would be
the fastest thing to implement right now.
Also, have you considered adding a "saved session" concept? If I've
set lots of breakpoints in my files, and I have to shut down, it'd be
nice to bring that breakpoint collection back up the next time I need
to work on those files.

At first I was trying to remember my changes and just go from one
window to the next and manually upadate my source, but on a file by
file basis, just doing a copy and paste gets things done pretty
quickly.

This has worked for me because I have images in the images directory,
css in the css directory, etc. Thus, a couple of global replaces and
I'm good to go.
An option to save without munging the paths would help though. There
are several extensions that implement webdav and/or ftp, so no need to
reinvent the wheel.
I think Authenteo looks nice, but it's a commercial product. And to
host my pages where *I* want it's $10K. More than I can justify at
this point.

Devon, could you cast some light on the webdav/ftp extensions? (excuse
my ignorance) I'm craving for an idea
how to save modified css without going through copy/paste procedure.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Joey33
Actually, in firefox, if you do just file>save page as and as for
"save as type" just do "webpage, HTML only", you can get it to keep
all the code nice and clean. Unfortunately, if you have any external
sources, you can't save them this way.

Hi Joey,
I'm craving for too -> what a revolution for webdesigners if we were
at last able to live-edit CSS code: no more save&refresh, just see!
(with the gorgeous advantage to have computed cascading styles at
our's disposal, we can easily than ever, handle with firebug: enabled/
disabled, add/delete...CSS's rules) -> It's like a dream :)
In my mind, what Devon suggests is the good way: integer an existing
service such as WebDav(for a svn) or simply a FTP one, to be able to
remotely save our changes on CSS files.
When I've discovered FireBug, I immediately thought it were
particularly devoted to do that...
I keep hoping it will :)
PS: I would be very interested in having FireBug author's opinion
about this feature suggestion.
A good day :)
I'm a really new firebug user, at discovering/training level. I think
save changes is the only one important feature that firebug needs to
be perfect. ;-)
So of course I'm interested in your offer. Open source would be
better.
thanks.
Martin.
Once again, sorry for the bad mouthing. It really was inappropriate.

if anybody knows of a good html editor (where you can save to your
local system) let me know. that would at least get everything i need
into 1 window!
not trying to spam these sites, but they are excellent extensions!
