I heart Coda 1.5

I've steadily been moving more and more project development over to Coda^*, the wondertasbulous development app from the rockin' folks at Panic.

They recently released version 1.5, with a couple details that will translate into even faster development for me.

At a glance you can now tell whether a file open in the Edit window is a local file or a file on the server. When you've got a dozen tabs open looking at code that affects different parts of a site and need to switch around quickly, this is a huge help. Previously you had to mouse over the tab and wait for the tool tip to display to know where the file resided.


By far my most favorite-ist addition is the ability to Reverse Publish a file from the server. This nearly made me swoon. Instead of making sure I'm in the right directory on both sides, I can now simply pull a file from anywhere on the server and know I've got the latest and greatest locally in the right place. Bliss. (Yes. I know. Subversion or Git would address this issue, too. Just settle down over there.)

Next on the wish list: Can we have some view of Site profiles that isn't fancy "taped up" pieces of paper? It's sexy and all, but when you've got a ton of 'em, it's a bit difficult to navigate.
