Tiny feature requests

1. Can you make it possible to move the Code Editor/Preview/Vertical Split bar around ... I like having my file tabs up top instead of at the bottom and having to mouse all the way down to preview is a pain.
2. Allow css to use php files as preview files?
3. Option to have Webuilder automatically save a file on preview so that there is no need for temp files ... having those ~prev45.html files littered all over my project drives me nuts.

1. You can use the keyboard shortcuts instead if it helps. ctrl+page up or ctrl+page down

3. I would love for those files to die as well. I read something about it here once from karlis but I can't remember what his plan was.

@ syrupcore ... I'm aware of those short cuts but all the other bars in the editor are moveable ... Its just odd that that particular bar is not.
Is there a reason behind this?

Its probably part of the actual text control, rather than the interface around it, if that makes sense.
As for the ~prev files, I did write a program once which would hunt around and delete them. Can't remember how well it worked, so will tidy it up if anyone still uses it! ;)

A bit disappointing ... I wouldn't have thought it would actually be easier to have the WB save the file before preview automatically. TSW webcoder does this thats why I'm so used to it.

Any word on allowing css use php files as preview files?
