Written by Shady3D the 8 Jun 09 at 06:28. New
Bluefish is great if not awesome for writing code, i like it that way and many people do. and i DON'T want WYSIWYG editor, i just want Bluefish appear better, the GUI needs some work and specially the icons, icons need to be better than that.

Solution #2: Auto Detect Language
Written by Shady3D the 8 Jun 09 at 22:20.
another thing that i notices there are two ways to highlight
1. i would specify it manually.
2. the document format that i am using.

so if just when i type it detects what i want even when i put CSS and JavaScript in it; it would highlight them too without affecting the rest of the document.

Foster the development of a visual (WYSIWYG) open source web editor for Linux  
Written by carpex the 2 Dec 08 at 03:55. New
Ubuntu and Linux users need a user friendly WYSIWYG web editor that is updated and maintained. As far as I know, there are simply no open source replacements for Dreamweaver, Frontpage or similar software. What we need is a simple yet flexible web editor.

Kompozer and NVU seem defunct and haven't been updated in ages.
Seamonkey is too basic and doesn't handle CSS.
Bluefish, Quanta Plus and others are very good, but they are not WYSIWYG.
Joomla or Drupal are also very good, but these CMS are highly theme-dependent and not suited for all projects.

If you think this software already exists, please let me know!

A WYSYWYG component in bluefish  
Written by MattRogers1982 the 8 May 09 at 10:45. New
Beginner web designers on Linux do not currently have a design program which marries depth of functionality with the ease of use offered by DREAMWEAVER.

A choice has to be made, the designer must either use a more simplistic program in order to gain a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface, or "fly blind" with a purely code based application.

The key benefit of Dreamweaver for windows and Mac users is that it marries the two. I have so far been impressed with bluefish as far as functionality and additional interface features but it still lacks the option to utilise WYSIWYG editing.

Solution #1: Add WYSIWYG functionality to bluefish
Written by MattRogers1982 the 8 May 09 at 10:45.
whilst I accept that this may end up being a programming nightmare (bluefish was not built from the ground up as a visual editing program) it would finally offer LINUX users with an adequate substitute for Dreamweaver.

Solution #1: Display the Project name
Written by math the 5 Jul 09 at 11:23.
When we create a new project, we have the option/ability to put it's "name". I think this name field would be nice in the list of latest opened projects

Solution #2: Display only the filename withut its full location
Written by math the 5 Jul 09 at 11:25.
Truncate the list to display only "*.bfproject" without the whole "/home/username/... ..."
