Well a system that Dream Maker lacks is having the ability to navigate to our files.
Scenario:
I want to get a icon which is about 3 folders into my source, instead of typing all those folders into the code editor, I should be able to get a file browser open up and let me direct myself to that file.
Thanks for Reading!

Can you elaborate on that? I'm not sure what you mean.

Well, if you've ever used Adobe Dreamweaver, you'd notice that when I try linking an image in, it'd give me a little pop up underneath my link to that image, clicking that pop up enables me to browse my file system to search for that image.
What I would like is, when adding a icon like:
icon=''
I get something like what DreamWeaver gives us, to link our image (Or Whatever we are linking into our code) easily. | |
I've never used Dreamweaver, so I don't get the reference. If I follow you, you seem to be suggesting putting a hyperlink in place of '' that could be clicked to bring up a file selection box. I'm pretty sure I'd hate that myself, but it might have merit for other users I guess.

Yep, it'd do that exactly, instead of me having to type in 3 folders, it'd let be open up the file browser and select the file. | |
As I was in a rush before, I was not able to show what I meant fully, so here are some Screenshots using it with Adobe Dreamweaver.
When I type somthing like:
icon='
Which in Dreamweaver would be the same as typing:
<img src="
Somthing like this should show up:  Upon clicking "Browse.." a window like this should pop up, allowing us to navigate and choose the file of our choice.  | |
Another way this could probably be implemented is by having a button which you click, and keep a hold of it... then you drag your mouse to your file tree (Which usually has the files in there) and let go on top of the file you want to be directed to and it'd add that path itself to wherever you were just typing last.
This is more efficient than my last idea as this can take less time, and is very easy, you can add it to the bottom of the file tree next to the refresh button. Here is a link to give an example of such feature. | |
Unity has a really nice system where you can drag and drop files (from what would be the DM file tree) into variables for quick references. It also allows you to quickly and easily modify most other variables (at runtime even) using a similar method.
