FIND enhancement request

Post by clair »

I love WB -- and so far this is the first thing I've found lacking that would increase my productivity.

Working with image heavy pages that use some already existing images, and some new ones -- it would be extremely helpful if, when a page is open in the editor, it would be possible to "find" a list of images for that page.

I tried searching on "img" and it gave me a list that was not useful because ONE I couldn't copy the lines, and TWO it included the path which resulted in the complete name of the image not being visible.

Hope it would be simple to add a Find Images choice to the Search menu. It might be nice to have it project wide, but more important to have it for the current page.

Thanks for your time!

Currently you can view all included images from code explorer, but why would you need to copy the list?

you could write this in javascript. put the script on your page, load the page in the browser and have JS output the list to a div on the page. copy from there... I find myself using JS for this sorta stuff more and more lately. You could also dump it to the console in Firebug and copy from there.

You can use the Firefox extension Firebug to see a list of all images loaded onto the page. can't really copy it cleanly but it's in list form. load the page in firefox, open firebug, click 'net', click 'images'.

The Web Developer Extension for firefox has an 'image report' as well.

THanks for Code Explorer

Post by clair »

Thanks Karlis --
I never knew about Code Explorer -- it is exactly what I needed. As to printing -- it was because I was working on a site with about 250 images, some of which had been used more than once, but in different sizes. Hard to keep track of.

Thanks -- syrupcore -- I should have checked FF -- I have the web developer extension -- just never thought of looking there, though I use it for many other chores!
