Extending Dreamweaver & Ultradev and Extending Fireworks References
Aren't the individual types of extensions listed near the top? I reinstalled the extension this morning and most of the extension APIs showed up at the top of the list (with a " " in front of them to group them together). If the search is not working, I will look into that.
As far as the naming scheme goes, I think it was an attempt to keep those APIs types together, the way they are in the manual. From the standpoint of someone who has used the manual for a few months, I guess it makes sense. I will look into posting an alternate reference.xml file with everything alphabetical.

George, thanks for the response.
I do not see any of the extension types listed at the top of the API drop down. Perhaps you have a higher version number than I do. I downloaded from the UDZone site and have 1.0.0.
I do see "Command functions", but it lists only : dw.edtiCommandList() and dw.runCommand(), not canAcceptCommand() and commandButtons() that I was looking for. The functions I mentioned in my post are Commands API functions, and I could not find them within the reference panel. I also did a Find within the reference folder and could not find the Commands API functions at all. I tried looking for other extension type API (Object, Property Inspectors, etc) and didn't find there API functions either.
I understand your reasoning about using "The," however, I always thought that was a failing of the manual. I'd suggest prefixing each type with "API -" and that would separate them from other types of DW functions.
Also, found a couple of typos in the UI access within Extension Mangager: You use & a couple of times, however you forgot the trailing semi-colon. And should it be listed as a Dictionary in EM rather than Reference?
Enjoy
Danilo-
Sorry about the confusion...My guys installed a new version on my machine after I did the upload. The new version has been packaged and is now available from the site. Sorry about the inconvenience.
As far as your suggestions, yep, I agree. I will send them along to my programmers and see what they think.
