KompoZer and Nvu

Submitted by deerb on April 4, 2007 - 5:26am

Could somebody please explain to me the difference between KompoZer and Nvu? They look similar, but in NVU you can access other toolbars, whereas with KompoZer you can access the CSS editor more easily. Also, with Nvu, (running as a normal app) you can change the font from Couriur New to something more readable.

Hope you all have a good Easter

KompoZer site settings

Submitted by johncscott on March 21, 2007 - 5:43am

Would it be possible for future releases to have an export/import facility for the site details? I have quite a few sites that I host and when I upgraded from Nvu to KompoZer I had to fill them in all over again. It would be nice if it was compatible with Dreamweaver exported/imported files.

Publishing from NVU

Submitted by jessejazza on November 8, 2006 - 1:48pm

I'm new to building a website and have found one possible 'glitch' which i'm unsure about. Earlier today i was going to publish some files and had them open (about 6/7) after saving some corrections.

I had only published files before individually i.e. one open checked over then published. With the 6/7 open i tried to publish each one in turn after checking and NVU seemed to crash. I rebooted the PC, opened up files individually, published them one-by-one and no problems. Is it because the links can be conflicting if certain files are sent in a batch or something?

I did try uploading a number from FireFTP and found the links didn't seem to work and had to refresh the browser for each page - which i thought wasn't quite right!

KompoZer: Novice comments !!

As no-one has posted about NVU for a while i thought i'd post my thoughts. As a teacher i wanted to set up a site for my students. I have found the portability very useful and wish to thank John Haller for his hard work. I add bits to pages at work and home, finding the combination of portable browser (with all my bookmarks) and NVU a godsend. I use eMindMaps for some of the layout - NVU for editing and publishing. [I use the firefox ftp for posting some files and have had no problems. The pluggin seems much better than the other ftp client i tried . . . but then i don't have the computing knowledge to know its pitfalls if there are any]. I wouldn't have progressed as far as i have in a couple of weeks if it hadn't been for this. When completed i'll ask for feedback!

Problem #1:

I downloaded Nvu Portable 1.0 rev 3 and tried install it on my 2GB flash stick into the folder G:\Program Files\Nvu . It didn't work. I even tried it on multiple pc's. I get a error:

Problem #2 | I cant delete

Since it didn't install properly on multiple pc's, I went to go delete it. I get prompted with this:
