CodeLobster IDE

Once again thanks for what looks promising as a php ide.

First congratulations on your debugger. Very intuitive and functional.

I've only given the ide a superficial run through some coding but have a few elementary suggestions:

First as mentioned elsewhere in the forums FTP. I would like to see this integrated with the projects ie store all site info for remote site with the project info in order to connect and edit remotely. It would also be nice if files could be synchronized between the local and remote server.

Second some extensibility would be nice. For instance the ability to run external programs passing the active file, setting up different browsers for testing or opening part of the api for scripting or plugin development.

Third a help file would be nice. While very intuitive for someone who has worked with a variety of editors it might be daunting for someone fairly new.

The last thing doesn't concern the ide but rather the pricing structure. I think it's great that the license for the ide is free but you charge for specific plugins. However for someone like me who would not be interested in the plugins but might want to contribute, the ability to make a donation would be nice.

Thanks again

Hi, tonyk.

Many thanks for your opinion.

Now we are working on FTP functionality.
It will be ready by our next version.

Also we are working on help file, but for our plug-ins only.
We will create general help later after major structure of the project will be more stable.

We thought about donation option really,
because now our income doesn't cover our expenses

But we decide don't do it until we have several critical problem in our IDE or we will havn't other way.

Now you may support us by purchase our plug-ins

We receive much help from our customers by their suggestions and obtained bugs. It helps us indeed.

Many thanks everyone for it.

Regards,
Codelobster Team.
