This workflow is fine for the creation process, however when viewing in presentaiton mode the images do not load instantly which really distrupts the flow of the presntation when trying to demonstrate subtle UI changes. Could this be optimised at all in the meantime?

Thanks Peldi, yes I am aware of that and I do need to be more regimented in using it but the workflow was a bit of a pain as when I needed a change I'd think "i'll just make it here then export it to an image later instead of going through the whole export/import process" which of course, I never get around to doing.

This is obviously somewhat lazy on my part and now you've prompted me and i've experienced the pain of not doing it I'll be more strict on this.

But I guess the rest of Mockups just lets me be lazy and just get on with it! ;)

Hi Peldi,

any sort of ETA on this? I've just done an excercise on a huge project and things started to get wildly out of control as I had so many similar views that all ended up slightly different which has led to a lot of confusion.

Other than that tho mockups has been an absolutely amazing tool for us on a number of projects now.

Can't wait for this to be implemented!

escaping x from becoming checkbox

Could you make it so [\x] doesn't become a checkbox? I want to have links shown as x for a delete option but they keep turning into checkboxes :S

TileList component

It would be really good to have some form of TileList component where I can specify the number of rows and the number of columns and it generates a square (or tile) of appropriate size to fill the control. I can then edit the first 'tile' in the grid and whatever I design in that tile gets replicated for every other tile in the grid. Useful for search type views that display images and other elements instead of just a plain text list. You could then easily create views like google image search results

This would be a really great feature, however here's another idea on how it could be implmented (on the AIR version anyway):

'Insert mockup view' to browse and select an existing mockup which grabs a bitmapdata of the selected mockup and inserts it onto the page.
Then you monitor the source mockup file (either datemodified if that's avialable or file size) and if that ever changes simply grab another bitmapdata. That way you don't need to worry about deleted files or dependencies etc.

Still not the easiest thing in the world to do but thought I'd add another vote for it and another idea :)
