    Hi there!
    Previously I was working with MODx Evo, and now I’m interesting in MODx Revo. I installed RC1 for testing and was disappointed with Resources and Elements browser. It reloads every time I select a resource, or add new resource, or save changes in resource. In MODx Evo there was no so much resources browser’s updates. It was much smoothly.

    Maybe, I’m doing something wrong?
    Or this behavior is normal?

      Yes, it’s completely normal, as Revolution does not use frames, where as Evolution does. Evolution only loaded the frame, whereas Revolution reloads the entire page.

      That said, Revo uses caching to diminish load times - and whereas Evo will reload the page when saving an existing Resource/Element/etc, Revo does not - it only reloads the tree.

      Plus, you can use Quick Update/Create to create Resources and Elements without ever leaving the page.

      You’re just used to the frame-based Evo way of doing things. Spend some time with Revo, and you wont want to go back.

        Ok, thank you very much for your answer!

        I have some issues while working with Revo (when saving fails, for example), I’ve an idea to make a little video with it, but little later.
