Simply Great... a must have for each administrator!
Thanks!
Al last! Someone who listened my prayers! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This is a real time saver and I think that it's a "must-be" in Joomla toolbar.

I love it! I change the editor while i'm editing an article and it's changed as soon as i refresh the page. No more going to the Global Settings. I'll add this to my list of "must have" extensions and all my projects. Would be even better if it worked in the Front End Article Submission Layout.

Thanks a lot!

One of those favorite admin helpers which I install on every site at the beginning.
Great idea.
Thanks.

This should be a standard feature in Joomla; at least an Editor's Pick.

ND EditorSwitch saves me a lot of time because JCE destroys my Flash objects and I have to go into 'No Editor' mode a lot.

Thanks for a great Extension.

This is a good addition to the administrative interface.

One problem relates to WysiwygPro. It has additional plugins that are necessary to operate the editor but aren't used day-to-day. The drop down menu lists everything, including the "DO NOT USE" plugins.

The issue does not occur for TinyMCE or JCE.

Other than the WysiwygPro annoyance, this is a good component.

Sorry, we don't have WysiwygPro here to verify, but it seems more an editor misuse of the Joomla framework than a bug of our component.

They use an human readable string ("DO NOT USE") in the element title to let users never choose their plugins... but this is not the right way of working!

This is how we get the list of the editors: "SELECT element,name FROM #__plugins WHERE folder = 'editors' AND published = 1"... exactly in the same way used by the Joomla API to find the list of the editors...

This is a must have for all Joomla users. I wonder why this is not a core function.

Great job and thanks for making it free.

New 1.1 version, AJAX based, should be easier than before!

Awesome. Worked like a charm in under a minute. No need for two admin accounts, to avoid having to change editor settings. Hopefully this will be integrated into Joomla later on. Thanks!
