Why is it still so darned difficult to compare local and remote files, and then upload them, in ColdFusion Builder?
I have to admit: I use cfbuilder 2. We really want to upgrade to the latest version – many goodies there – but a very basic function (and to us essential) is missing. I may be missing something, but I cannot find anything close in what we need in CFB2018 without contortions and complexity. I understand CF removed the Aptana module after CFB2, but functionality was lost and not replaced.
Here it is: We have a development server, and a production server.
Scenario: We modify/develop/tweak a file.
Currently: Right click: synchronize (the dev and production files), right click on the file, check differences. All good? Click button: synchronize. Simple, quick, and easy (=productivity) .
I cannot see an easy way of doing it on more current versions of CFB.
Yes, you can use Beyond Compare, but that is new interface, many keystrokes, time and effort. I have also tried to shoehorn in some eclipse plugins, but it has been a painful process and the integration is rarely seamless.
Surely we are not the only developers in the world that do a filecompare and then fileupload when they modify files?
Like I said, we may have missed something obvious. Does anybody out there have any ideas?
I agree completely. This basic FTP, compare, synchronize feature is sorely needed in ColdFusion Builder. I find myself switching back and forth between CFBuilder 2018 and Dreamweaver just to accomplish a basic FTP compare & upload. I would love to see this feature added to the next version.
