I found this inconvenient because my expectation is that publishing a folder means just that. When publishing a folder, Rapid launches a dialog listing all files in the folder and allowing the user to make a selection of contained files. In short, the ability to publish a folder is not an improvement at all. This kind of unreliability and uncertainty is not acceptable. The behavior leads me to believe that the FTP client built in to Rapid is not robust. The error messages are not descriptive and do not indicate why the failure occurred or how far along the publish was. I regularly get errors that stop the publish operation. Unfortunately, folder publishing is unreliable. In other words, 2020 has added the ability to publish a folder, an important improvement and certainly a step in the right direction. A collection of files/folders found as the result of a search.įor Rapid 2020, the following things still cannot be published from the File Explorer:.All of these items can be published from Expression Web and most can be published from other IDEs and editors (e.g., PhpStorm, Visual Studio Code (VSC)). In the review of Rapid 2018 I listed things that could not be published from the File Explorer. The other important improvement is the ability to publish folders via FTP. Search has undergone an extensive rework. The most notable upgrade is to search, something I have complained about in previous reviews. As usual, Blumentals' descriptions of new and updated features is vague and fluffy, making it difficult to understand exactly what has changed. Rapid 2020 is mostly an update release, with minor improvements in most of its major sections. Having recently purchased Rapid 2020 and it being my primary "other" tool already, it was only natural that I would examine it very closely to see if it could take on the role of my primary Web development tool. This brought into sharp focus my need to decide upon a new set of tools. In that article I explain events that have convinced me that I cannot continue to use Expression Web (EW). In that context, I recently published Expression Web: The Final Denouement. This discussion will focus on the areas that are most important to me. I have reviewed Blumentals Rapid PHP Editor twice before, first a casual review of the 2016 edition and then a slightly more detailed examination of the 2018 edition.
