Add mockup from desktop to FogBugz case to edit?
How can I upload a mockup from the desktop version into a FogBugz case and then edit the mockup?
I've created a mockup with the desktop version of Balsamiq Mockups, saved it as a .bmml file, then attached that file to a new case in FogBugz, and saved the case. I then edit that case, click on the Add UI Mockup link in the FogBugz case, Mockups asks me to select the existing mockup from the list, but there's nothing in the list.
I'd like to be able to use the desktop version to create mockups offline when needed, and then add to cases. But for now I'll just create them anew within FogBugz using the addin.

Inappropriate?I figured this out in part, but would like any feedback from anyone who has a more direct way to do this. Based on the UI of this feature in FogBugz it seems that the feature to select the mockup from a list isn't working, but I'm not sure.
The way I got this to work is to go into the existing case that doesn't yet have a mockup, edit the case, click the Add Mockup UI link, let the Mockup app open up, select Import from the menu, and copy/paste the XML from the bmml file.
This seemed to work when testing. But when I did it to another case I ran into another odd behavior. I would give the mockup I imported a name as required by Mockup. But after clicking the Save button it would close the Save and Close window but wouldn't close the Mockup application within the browser and show me the mockup in FogBugz. After closing the tab in the browser I'd open a new page in the browser, go to the same case, and the mockup would not be there. It's as if I didn't edit the case at all. Very odd. But eventually got it to work by trying again.
Browser is Google Chrome.
I’m fine with the issue, can work around it

Inappropriate?Hi Kevin, thanks for posting here.
The workflow at the moment is what you figured out:
1. in Mockups for Desktop, export your mockup
2. in FogBugz, edit a case and click on "add UI mockup"
3. in the Mockup menu, select "Import" and paste your mockup in it
4. save and close and give it a name.
it should show up in the case. If it doesn't, refresh the page (it's a bug, we are working on it).
I’m thankful
