Screen name next to Start button in pre-test dialog is unnecessary and potentially confusing.

I don't the the screen name next to the Start button is necessary when introducing each part of the session. In fact, I think it may give too away too much information, and most importantly it may cause confusion. If anything, allow brief intro text if necessary.

Analyze button in project page should show that project selected on Analzye page.

If I'm viewing a project page and click the Analyze button from that page (the button in page, not the tab in the header), I shouldn't have to select the project from the drop down menu. It should default to the project I was viewing when I clicked the Analyze button.

I hadn't thought of that. That's probably good enough. Working on surveys may not be a good use of your time.

Michael Angeles replied on September 02, 2009 13:50 to the idea "Hide headings on Analyze page until project selected" in Usabilla:

A little copy editing might help on the page as well as using the progressive disclosure I mention above.

1) Select a test -- Perhaps the fact that the other headings are bold made me gravitate to them first

2) Pages in -- Label is awkward without a project selected. Pages by itself might work until you select a project. Better yet, hide it until the project is selected. "Select pages in..." might help to be consistent with "Show Tasks," which is an action label. Either way, consistency between the labels might be helpful in directing flow.

Michael Angeles replied on September 02, 2009 13:43 to the idea "Hide headings on Analyze page until project selected" in Usabilla:

The same can be done for "Show Tasks"--hide until user has selected a page.

Hide headings on Analyze page until project selected

ON the "Analyze" page for a project, hide the headings for "Pages" and "Tasks" until the user has selected a project. They unnecessarily distract from the first action, selecting a project.

Michael Angeles started following the idea "Minimal navigation and prompts." in Usabilla.

Michael Angeles started following the question "can you test a task flow" in Usabilla.

Michael Angeles started following the idea "Why not add some interaction?" in Usabilla.

post-test surveys

Are there any plans to add a post-test survey to a test?

Easy to accidentally escape out of new project dialog

I've clicked escape while mistakenly clicking in the Browse File input when creating a project, then inadvertently escaped out of the dialog/lightbox. Wondering if that flow might be better in a standalone page. Perhaps not. I may just be trigger happy and click around too quickly.

Michael Angeles started following the idea "Storyboard mode" in Balsamiq.

It appears that the "Delete Mockup" button is back for me. Thanks!

I can't seem to find an action for deleting a mockup in the mockup page or the mockups browser.

How do I delete a mockup?.

Excellent! Thanks, Peldi.

Michael Angeles replied on August 04, 2009 15:42 to the question "Will posting image URLs outside of mybalsamiq be allowed eventually?" in Balsamiq:

I'm thinking there will be times when I have an idea that I want to blog, I'd probably want to post it on Konigi, outside of My Balsamiq, and link to the original page in My Balsamiq. Thinking it would be sort of like the linking/embedding options on Flickr. The key question is whether I'd need to save the PNG or could I just reference the URL in My Balsamiq.

But wondering if that's allowed, since it will use your bandwidth. I can always save the PNG, but it's good to get these questions out there.

And yes, I think it would just be the latest version. But that could be tricky I suppose if the image URL is different for each version.

I don't see it in the bottom right of my screen.

Great. Thanks!

"Download this mockup" idea: Save as dialog

I'm wondering if you can have the download links open a save dialog rather than load the XML in page, e.g. you can try sending header "Content-Disposition: attachment" with the file so users don't have to save the file or right click.
