Telerik r.a.d.editor MCMS Edition V2

I have been testing this for the past week - Its very cool.

But - I don't know if it will get wide adoption in large MCMS implementations with > 5000 resources as the resource gallery explorer loads all galleries & resources ; therefore taking ages to load and often timing out (even on MASSIVE servers) - aparently a fix is on its way ;

but that didn't stop me rolling back to the out of the box MCMS editor at a client's site.

Telerik have announce the availability of v2.0 of r.a.d.editor MCMS Edition. The new v 2.0 is available at no cost to MCMS customers and you can download a copy from "My Licenses" in your Client.net account. The new release has a number of improvements to improve the experience of MCMS end-users.

What's new in v 2.0:

Features:
  • The LocalImage appears or not depending on the value of the MustUseResourceGallery property of the placeholder definition.
  • Improved file browser dialogs (Image, Flash, Media, Document) with Windows-like look and feel
  • Improved look of the editor, easier to change the visual look of the editor by editing the schemes' CSS files
  • Added UseClassicDialogs property that makes the editor's dialogs appear either within custom, fully CSS-configurable "windows", or in the default IE dialogs. (Default is false, that is the editor uses the custom dialog windows).
  • Cleaner HTML output and better application of CSS styles
  • Indentation of HTML in code view.
  • Updated to work with Internet Explorer with Windows XP Service Pack 2.
  • Improved clientside performance.

Bugs Fixed:

  • Fixed a bug which occurred when attaching an eventhandler to the SavingContent event. In the event handler the old (original) content of the editor would be returned, rather than the new value.
  • Fixed a problem with the *.* setting for document filters.
  • A number of smaller bugs fixed mostly related to the quality of the html and the editing process, enhancing the user experience.

Hi,

Before I go off and spend time investigating this, I thought I'd ask first:

How does the new version handle very deeply nested channels and resource galleries?

We have a VERY large CMS site, with some 3000+ channels. Some channels are nested very deeply. In the old version, it used a drop-down list to show the galleres. Not good, as it only showed the first 73 characters of the gallery hierarchy name.

For Example:
/Resources/Main Site/Davis Langdon/Teams and Offices/London Region/Mid City Place/Teams/Information Technology/News

was displayed as:
/Resources/Main Site/Davis Langdon/Teams and Of

How would I distinguish this from another gallery under "Information Technology" when it doesn't display the full name?
