Hi!
I have been using RadEditor for ASP.NET for one year now and is currently looking at the possibilities to upgrade to the new Prometheus release.
In some parts of my application I use a lot of editors on each page (10 - 15) but with rather minimalistic functionality. I use undo/redo/bold/italic/underline in the toolbar, one context menu for copy/paste, no need for spell checking and no need for any image- or document managers. The loading time is always an issue in this case. When testing the Prometheus version i find that the editors turns up very quickly on the page, but it takes time to initialize them (about 2-2.5 sec) and display the content. Actually, the total loading time for the page in this scenario is virtually the same as for the old version. Is there a way to reduce the time to initialize the editors in this case? I guess this minimalistic editor configuration is not the most common among your customers, but for us, and our customers, it would be very nice if the loading time could be further optimized for this scenario. Since we get some complaints from our customers about the loading time we are concidering other, simpler editors with faster loading speed for this part of the application, but since we also want to be able to use the full editor functionallity in other parts, we would like to keep the RadEditor throughout our complete application.
I am currently using one Toolbar for all editors on the page, moving them to a specified div on the page, as described in
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-btggg.aspx. How can this be achieved with the Prometheus RadEditor? I also think this would be a nice feature to add to the product, with the divID as a property for the editor,or as a ClientSide API function.
When ToolbarMode is set to ShowOnFocus the toolbar is automatically displayed for the last editor on the page when loaded. How can this functionallity be disabled?
I have used an autoresize function in my application and the new AutoResizeHeight property is welcome but it has one flaw in the current version.
If the initial scrollheight is higher than the editor height, the editor is not automatically resized to display all text when loaded. This is done when the editor gets focus.
Why do I need to add the .tdf files in App_Data/RadSpell even when RadSpell is not enabled in the application?
Finally i think the Prometheus RadEditor will generally be a great improvement, but for us the loading time is still crucial for our decision to upgrade.
