1)the "Recently Used" list is cleared when devphp closes. What is its pupose if not to list recently used files.......
2)Search, when set to find from top and Find selected text from top, both locate the first occurance, after which F3 does not advance the search.
3)with several files open, closing the first (left most) one causes an index out of range error.
4)don't know if this is a change or not, but it is quite disconcerting to open a new document and not have it become the "current" or focused document.
hope these things will help to improve the product.

> 1 "Recently Used" list is cleared when devphp closes.
You're right, this would be useless... :)
But it works for me - However I'm using several projects' files.
Actually this list is depending on each project and stored into each
'project.prd' file.
Do you agree with the following :
In order to keep track of the most recently used files, we should use
the current project file and if no project is defined we should use the
Dev-PHP main parameter file ?
> 2 Search, Find from top and Find selected text from top
Technically, it works O:-) One must read :
- From top of selection (not from top of file)
- Inside the selection
When found, the selection becomes the found text... and F3 cannot
advance the search.
However, I agree with you this is *absolutely not* user-friendly.
I'll fix that accordingly.

Unbelievable !

It's depending on how we open a document.
Drag'n drop, for example, may 'open' several documents at the same
time. But no one can say which document should (will) become the
current one.
<tip>
Dev-PHP is working with projects. It's based upon a simple rule :
One project corresponds to one (and only one) tree structure.
Then, to open a document, just walk thru the Files-Tab delimited
by each project.

As usual your response made me realize I did not exactly understand what was happening....
re: #1
I had spurned the use of the project due to some previous problems -- I thought. Turns out, Devphp won't operate with out at least one project.prd file stored somewhere. And, I had managed to create project.prd files in all sorts of places.... So, I somehow created and opened a project that contained no files. This, apparently, is why the recently used list was always empty. I read the doc at
...fauconnier.free.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=DevphpEnProjects which helped some, but I think I still do not fully understand the projects model. Your proposed change sounds right, but, I have made my CVS sandbox a project and I should work this way some before commenting further.
more later.

Hello Gordo,
A new Exp version (2.2.0.302) could have fixed the issues you reported.
See http://devphp.sf.net/
> hope these things will help to improve the product
Even more, it's essential.
Thanks again,
Pierre.
