So, I finally got to try Quanta 4. I did just local install and I did not follow Milan's instructions for setting up environment, so some of my comments might not be relevant. Overall this is huge improvement over Quanta 3 but it is just not polished yet. Only part I am missing to start using it right now is ability to have custom script run when file is saved. Other than that it would be nice to have: - ability to set per project encoding. I know it is all UTF8 now, but some of us still have old projects hanging around - to have project views/sessions. Similar to current sessions, but saved per project. That way I could chose which part of the project I am working on and open multiple files with click. - I added project SQL database. Password was saved in plain text. I think this should use kwallet in a same way upload profiles do. - Bookmarks should be persistent. In Quanta 3 this was one of per-project settings. - Import for old Quanta projects (including file bookmarks and upload profiles and file upload status). Things that seemed broken, but it could be due to my installation (I did not want to overwrite and replace Quanta 3 as it is still my main editor): - Menus seem a bit messed up: - "View" has only single item "external previews" - "Toolbars" has couple options, Load/Save, but they do nothing - "Plugins" is empty - "No Text", has View, Bookmarks, Tools and Settings submenus. - "Settings" menu item is crippled too. - I use style cloudcity, and it does not seem to always play well with with all window options. Line/Col number is too low. Bottom docks do always resize themselves properly when activated. - When I added project upload profile, I had to restart Quanta to actually get "Upload profile" dock to show and to get Upload options when right-clicking the file. Anyway, I am rather excited about Quanta - again. This thing is really shaping up very very very nicely. Bit thanks to everyone involved Sasha
