Automatically add a header and a footer to generated images
Hello,
First of all, I think this idea is a little bit far-fetched but well...
In a professionnal context, we often need to add a title, logos of the clients for whom we do the wireframes, add the version number, the date and so on...
The idea would be to automatically add, when we generate the image corresponding to the wireframe, a header and a footer to the image. In that header, a logo (that we choose) would be automatically added, as well as a title (name of the file ?), the date and eventually the version number.
I do that for every single wireframe and it's quite time consuming :-)
The only problem I see with that feature, is that it would be quite a challenge to make it customizable without the need of a preferences panel... something Balsamiq has successfully avoided so far.
So Peldi and the community... what do you think :) ? If there is a positive feedback, we might work on a solution together...

Inappropriate?Hello Regis, that would be very useful.
At the moment you are forced to do it manually, but the external components will fit perfectly your needs, and they are already on the plan.
Please have a look here: http://getsatisfaction.com/balsamiq/t... for an idea about using some macro to include automatically date and time into mockups.
Ciao

Thanks Marco. The post you've indicated is a good starter. I think it could be developed quickly and be a good patch while waiting for other external components you are talking about.
Thanks again for your reply.
