Hey there, day three of testing Komodo Edit and I have what (I hope) are my final set of newbie questions. So here we go.

Can Komodo Edit do FTP publishing?

I've downloaded addons, read forum posts and I still don't quite understand publishing within Komodo. It seems to me that there's really nothing equivalent to publishing on the order of Coda, Dreamweaver, Espresso, Ultraedit or the other web-specific IDEs. At best it seems Komodo can define an FTP account and connect to it, but it doesn't otherwise integrate with my projects in any way.

Is this correct? There's no way to do uploading, downloading, or synchronization? Just remote editing and remote save capabilities? That seems awfully rudimentary to me for such a powerful IDE.

Is there better support for image files?

Perhaps I'm spoiled, but within Coda, I can preview images, PDF files and other media natively supported by webkit. So if I double-click a JPG within Coda's project file browser it actually opens up the JPG and shows me the image's dimensions. Within Komodo, all I get from a double-clicked image is garbled code. I've even tried a few addons but they don't seem to help at all (I'm using a Mac). Am I missing something or can't Komodo work with media?

Does Komodo offer any sort of drag and drop support?

Within Coda and Textmate, I can drag an image into an editor window and get pre-populated image markup complete with dimensions. Doing the same with text files offers me a path to the file. Doing either on Komodo simply tries to open the file. Do I need to hold down a modifier key for drag and drop support?

That's it, and thanks for reading through my giant wall of text. :-)
