Aren't tabs already interchangeable?

Cristian Pascu replied on November 23, 2009 17:17 to the question "Link to a tab?" in FlairBuilder:

Wow, Lisa,

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these steps here. I couldn't explain it myself any better. Thank you!

Cristian Pascu replied on November 23, 2009 09:04 to the question "How about a snap to grid feature?" in FlairBuilder:

Hi Jug,

A few minor versions ago I introduced snap to grid to be the default instead of snap to other components. I so much happier with it now as it feels more right and it's much less memory consuming.

Thanks so much for pushing for this feature!.

Cristian Pascu replied on November 23, 2009 09:00 to the question "Tab width adjustment" in FlairBuilder:

Al,

Would you like each tab to have different widths or simple make all tabs wider?

Cristian Pascu replied on November 23, 2009 08:59 to the question "Setting a new page to be "Home"" in FlairBuilder:

Hi there,

Yes, you can set the page to be shown as home page by selecting it from the the settings dropdown, the little button near the Preview/Design buttons, in the upper-right corner.

Thanks for your kind words! :-) Nice way to start the week.

Cristian Pascu replied on November 23, 2009 00:23 to the question "Link to a tab?" in FlairBuilder:

Yes, it's possible. Just name your Tab component and then use the browse cards/tabs action on the link component.

Let me know if that works for you.

Cristian Pascu replied on November 20, 2009 21:51 to the question "Please have distinct icons for ribbon and widget." in FlairBuilder:

Hi there,

I will see what I can do. I'll search to see if there's a ribbon specific icon and use that one instead. :-)

Cristian Pascu replied on November 19, 2009 22:32 to the idea "Text area with checkboxes" in FlairBuilder:

Hi Robert,

To achieve this you can use the List widget, and use the checkbox syntax for each row. Just prepend each line with [] chars and this will display a checkbox for each line.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks!

Cristian Pascu replied on November 19, 2009 20:25 to the problem "Copy/Paste on a Mac in text fields" in FlairBuilder:

Ok,

So I've just gave it a blind try from my Win environment and have uploaded a quick-fix test version here: http://flairbuilder.s3.amazonaws.com/...

Could any of you try to give it a try and let me know if anything has changed?

Thanks! I will wait right here.

Cristian Pascu replied on November 19, 2009 20:04 to the problem "Copy/Paste on a Mac in text fields" in FlairBuilder:

Guys,
I hear you all! :( I have no idea what is going on and I'm so embarrassed about this. I will take care of it as soon as possible.

Until then (next week I hope), I'd like to let you know about the context menu that, as I've been told, works just fine. :-)

Cristian Pascu replied on November 19, 2009 18:24 to the question "How to export the feel besides the look?" in FlairBuilder:

Gerardo,

Thanks so much for your question and for your feedback. The previous version of the website had a bit paragraph on the home page explaining the workflow in FlairBuilder. I really need to put it back. :-)

So, it goes like this: All you have to do is to save your project as usual. FlairBuilder will create a FBP file. This file you can send to your clients to view it in the free viewer. See here for more details: http://www.flairbuilder.com/home/viewer This page explain everything about the two versions of the viewer, the online and the desktop version.

Let me know if there's anything else I could do for you.

Cristian

Cristian Pascu replied on November 18, 2009 21:55 to the question "Is there a full list of the supported icons somewhere?" in FlairBuilder:

Hi there,

When double-clicking an icon component, you'll see a pop-up holding all icons that come with FlairBuilder. Just hover the icons in the pop-up to see the code you need to use to get that icon.

Basically, the set of icons supported by FlairBuilder is a sub-set of the FamFamFam icon library. I use the names of the icons as found in that set.

A very high priority feature is allowing you to add your own icons to FlairBuilder.

I hope this answers your question!

Cristian Pascu replied on November 18, 2009 19:09 to the question "DataGrid markup question" in FlairBuilder:

Hi Daniel,

No, I'm afraid it's not yet possible. I have some thoughts about adding more freedom and options to the datagrid, but that's for the future. :-)

Cristian Pascu replied on November 18, 2009 09:56 to the problem "Sketchy display of "floating pane" inside an opened popup window." in FlairBuilder:

Hi Gerhard,

I managed to get this one fixed in today's release, 1.7.5

Thanks so much for letting me know about this one.

Cristian

Cristian Pascu replied on November 18, 2009 08:56 to the idea "More shapes please!" in FlairBuilder:

Hi there,

The latest release, 1.7.5, just introduced two new shapes: Triangle and Ellipse. I hope this will be enough for now :-) Let me know if you need more.

Thanks,
Cristian

A comment on the problem "Command + R selects a page starting with R not export shortcut key" in FlairBuilder:

You need to first load *all* pages in the project, one by one. Once they are loaded, the message will not pop-up any longer and FlairBuilder should export all snapshots just fine. – Cristian Pascu, on November 17, 2009 07:37

A comment on the problem "Saving does not work in latest release" in FlairBuilder:

Hi Nico,

Have you installed kwallet? First of all, are you on Linux, too? – Cristian Pascu, on November 17, 2009 07:29

Cristian Pascu replied on November 17, 2009 00:26 to the problem "Command + R selects a page starting with R not export shortcut key" in FlairBuilder:

Ok,

So that's exporting one by one and that indeed is tedious. What I meant was loading all pages by hand. All you have to do is go and click each page in the project page tree so they get displayed. Wait just a few seconds until everything loads and then move to the next one. This shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. After this you'll be able to export all page snapshots and flairbuilder will name the image files after the page names.

I know this feature is not at all complete, by no means. I will make sure that you get more options and ease of use soon enough.

Thanks so much for your feedback and for you patience!

Cristian Pascu replied on November 17, 2009 00:01 to the problem "Command + R selects a page starting with R not export shortcut key" in FlairBuilder:

Hi there,

I understand your frustration. The fact is that I had to make a decision. The master page improvement was a very nice addition and I had very positive feedback for it.

From a technical point of view, in order to export a screenshot of a page, FlairBuilder also has to load all masters of that page from their XML definition. Besides being memory consuming, it is also asynchronous, resulting in large delays for large projects. This is a quite difficult task to manage, but I'm working on it.

As mentioned in the message that pops up when attempting to export all snapshots, you still can export all snapshots by manually loading all pages.

Are you working on a large project?
