Go Live 6...

Tyger · 03-04-2002, 05:21 AM

...arrived on my doorstep this weekend!

Easy Install, easy import of my Go Live 4 sites.

LOADS of goodies in this version. Much improved UI.

Oh and it's OSX native of course...

Dreamweaver? What's that?

very cool. good to know since I was hovering on upgrading.

lerkfish, it is very well worth the upgrade.

he he, do you want to start a dreamweaver/golive fight here? i dont you do. i am a dreamweaver user since version 1, i have also used golive since it was called golive cyber studio (before adobe took it over). i cannot stand golive 4 or 5. it is so slow to work with anything. i hate it. but i have been using the golive 6 betas, and now have the final as well. and i must say i am VERY IMPRESSED with this new release. i am NOT happy that they do not have built in support for CFML, it probably never will, since golive still has yeet to be as customizable as dreamweaver. but the improvements in UI in golive 6 make it a very usable product. i think it is funny to note that all the UI improvements to golive 6 are strait out of dreamweaver 4's bag of tricks. if you are a golive person, i think you will be much more productive with version 6. adobe is trying to make it more and more extensable, wich is a good thing. golive 6 is not going to make me swich (all the new features are in the old version of dreamweaver 4) but it is a hell of an improvement for golive people. i am chapped about no CFML support though. i mean if you are going to support major server technologies, the leaste you could do iis support them all. were i would give golive 5 only 3 stars, i give golive 6 a full 5 stars. (and thats coming from a dreamweaver user, he he).

on the other hand, watch out for the MX line from macromedia. i have been playing with the betas of the MX products and it is insane. that being Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, Fireworks MX, and Cold Fusion MX. with the exeption of Fireworks, they are all kick ass. (i never cared much for Fireworks).

I too have used golive since the first cyberstudio PE release.
Although I've not had the problems others have with 4 and 5, I agree it needed work.

'meancode,' are you working on MX on MacOSX? I was not pleased to see the announcement of Flash MX arrive when my preordered GL/LM bundle arrived last night. I probably would not have ordered it had I the confidence that Flash and Dreamweaver for X were a possible reality, rather than the distant hope Macromedia exuded repeatedly.

I have yet to fully explore GoLive 6 against my existing Dreamweaver 4 site, though I do have some 'interface transition issues' to consider. I would like to see how GL works with the JSP and PHP tests I have.

I'm moving this thread to our new Software News and Reviews thread and closing it here.

I'll mention that I installed Golive 6 without a hitch last nite, imported my 5.0 sites and re-worked a few web pages. Very nice, and decently fast on my Pismo 500.

I rebooted into OS 9 to see how it worked there, and all went well. Nice to have a carbonized app that works well under both systems (as opposed to one for X and one for 9--e.g. Eudora, Mozilla, IE, etc.)

Let's keep comparing notes on the new forum.
