I'm glad that you do not think my time was completely wasted then! :)
What I mean is this: The web preview works awesome for real time viewing of html code. I am amazed. Really. But, I don't know anyone who write HTML anymore.
I use the preview myself a lot -- I often write small pieces of HTML (e.g. when posting online) where I mainly just want to ensure that my formatting is correct, and for that I use the preview. Though I rarely use the “live” feature of it.
It also happens at times that I have a HTML snippet that I just want to view w/o having to create, save, and load a file in my browser.
Sometimes to make a Smarty Template, I'll write HTML and then retrofit it, but usually not. The web preview needs to be able to read from a valid URI, like http://127.0.0.1/projects/clientX/index.php
Yes, this is on the to-do. But I think that people who need this, would probably still prefer a real browser even with this feature. But I am aware that the web-preview has fallen a little behind with regard to the requests I have received for it.
I would at least like to find a solution to get Safari and/or Firefox to refresh on save. But I think the built in tool using webkit would be coolest. Has anyone figured this out?
You may want to use Stakeout [1] for that. It can monitor a file and e.g. perform an action when the file is saved (which would be to send reload to Safari/Firefox).
