Viewing source code of a page - WB2014 is a bit intrusive

Post by viking »

Hi

I think that WB2014 is acting somewhat intrusive when I wish to view the source code of a webpage as I don't seem to have a choice between viewing the source code through my browser and WB2014 - after the installation it now seems that WB2014 is the default viewer for source code.

Suggestion:

Remove this behavior and make an option in the browser under File => Edit with Webuilder2014.

Because then I can make my own choice in terms of what viewing source I would prefer to use on this occasion.

There was a checkbox during installation that said "Set as Internet Explorer source viewer". You can undo your selection from WeBuilder main menu Options -> Preferences -> External Tools -> Integration. Uncheck "Replace Internet Explorer source viewer".

The checkbox is un-checked - I haven't touched anything !

Hi

I have tried to check and apply and then un-check and apply the checkbox in the External Tools integration (Options -> Preferences -> External Tools -> Integration)

But everytime I try to view the source code of a webpage, I still get the Internet Explorer Security Warning pop-up message box asking me if I would like/trust WeBuilder to open the webpage content.

If I click no to this the page opens in notepad and all the code in the page are messing the tags coloring.

Here is what I would like to have back: all the coloring of the tags as it were before I installed WeBuilder2014.

Maybe you've changed it from Internet Explorer? Nonetheless, here's a pretty good guide for restoring the source viewer manually: http://www.wiredprairie.us/blog/index.php/archives/741

Hi

I can say for sure that i haven't changed anytihng myself !

In this time of writing I can ay that I did a re-install of WB2014, because I simply couldn't find the correct place in my computer's registry database, so as mentioned I did a re-install and during the installation checked the checkbox saying: "Set as Internet Explorer source viewer" and after the installation process had finished I opened: Preferences -> External Tools -> Integration. Uncheck "Replace Internet Explorer source viewer".

This did seem to solve my problem :D

Suggestion:

Make possible to import (if this is at all possible) the color scheme from browser's source viewer into the text editor color scheme

I have made more similar suggestions in these threads:
