> 1. user permissions for uploading/ deleting images, flash, media and

> 2. Long folder paths to images, flash, media, documents are now fixed and
> viewable.

> I was excited to read about fix number 2.  However, upon closer
inspection,

to
> 70 characters.  For my own use, as I have a very complicated MCMS site
which
> is many, many channel levels deep, this did not fix the problem at all!

> So I sent them an email stating this.  Below is the response that I have
> received back:

> Things to note are:

> 1. They are not "sure" if they are going to continue development of the
> current version.
> 2. Version 2, which truly fixes the problem is expected October.
> 3. However, Version 2, will not be free.

> Therefore, for me, this Editor is not a viable solution!

> Anyway, here is the email in full.  I have not included the images:
