    Asking for comments about the Cute Editor and DNN

    Hi all,
     
    I'm considering getting Cute editor for use in my DNN portal system and have browsed the forums here for while now, but still have some questions.
     
    1. Does it have an inbuilt spelling checker?
       
    2. Does it automatically respect the DNN folder permissions - for example, when someone of a particular user-role using it to find or upload a file or picture, does it grant access to only those folders that that role has the right permissions for?
       
    3. Can it be customized per portal or does the configuration affect the editor the same across all portals?
       
    4. Can it be customized per module or per module instance within a sub portal like FCK can?
       
    5. I presume I can disable things like image uploading in certain cases - for example, for forum users? Is that done by role or by module or something else?
       
    6. If I can customize it for a particular portal, and the portal skin is a global/host skin, will the editor use the skin.css from that skin in the editor area like FCK does? Meaning - is this a 100% wysiwyg experience in a multi-portal, and hence multi-skin, environment?
       
    7. Does it really work just the same with Safari and Opera etc?
       
    8. And this is the main reason I want a new editor: I want to provide the simplest method for un-skilled users to upload images and have them compressed and resized along the way. The online cropping and rotating is all bonus. Does the image browser and image editing facility really work properly or does it have any caveats I need to be aware of.
       
    9. Does it seamlessly replace FCK across all pages and modules where that is normally provided - for example in the bio section of the DNN profile page and in any third party module?
       
    10. I use loads of modules from Active Forums to Onyak's and DNN Masters etc. Some of these have RAD components - does that cause any trouble?
       
    11. And one for Cutesoft in particular: Are you actively supporting and updating the DNN provider for future DNN developments such as the Cambrian release, or is the DNN provider seen as an unsupported freebie?
       
    12. And for anyone else - has anyone got comments on this versus the RAD editor.. in particular regarding DNN integration and the image editing bits?
    Lots of questions I know, but I really appreciate any comments and feedback on these things. I'm going to try installing the download on a test portal as well, but it's hard to cover all bases with that.
     
    Best regards,
    Rob
