Appreciate the update!

Looks like the answer is "no", based on my quick experiments. You can import a Balasmiq PNG in, but only as one big image. Not what I was hoping...

Can I open a Balsamiq mockup with Flash Catalyst?

I've a huge Balsamiq fan, and I'm also checking out Flash Catalyst beta. If it's appropriate to bring up this topic.... should I be able to convert Balsamiq components into Catalyst UI components? I can see these two products potentially working together very well if so.

Cool, thanks Peldi!

Can you create a tree using plus and minus signs?

Hello folks,

Can you create a hierarchical tree mockup with plus and minus signs ("+" and "-") showing rather than open and closed folders?

Cheers,

Yes, I needed such text just yesterday! It's not uncommon for a data grid to need only one or two columns to have hypertext, but not the other columns. Please consider this feature.

Thx,

Hi,

Just adding support for this need. It's pretty common to want to show that certain columns of data in a table are to be linked. Having a way to make only selected text a different color or to underline it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Superb. As has been said before, you folks have gone far beyond the norm in responsiveness, salud!

What other text is rendered as a symbol or icon besides [] and [x]?

Just discovered that the Data Grid / Table does another cool and unexpected thing -- adds checked or unchecked boxes when you include [] or [x] in the text box. Are there other such symbols or wingding kind of things lurking about?

Especially for column headers, it would be great to display a upward or downward pointing triangle to indicate a column is sortable, and if the sort is ascending or descending.

Ditto for a straight line arrow, although you can get pretty close as is. Maybe the current arrow UI along with a Shift, Alt or other key would do it.

BTW, very impressed with your product since starting with it last Friday!! Please keep KISS as a major objective for this product ;) And that means respectfully ignoring or choosing not to do a number of feature we suggest... seriously!!! I've seen at least one feature request on the boards that is simply too much. Please DO NOT turn this product into Visio, Photoshop, or any other overwhelming product. The vision of keeping this quick-and-easy for purposefully sketchy-looking renderings is the most important thing.

Cheers,

Hello,
I'd really like to see line break as well! I was hoping Control-Enter would do it.

Thanks, that offers some hope ;)

If anyone else can chime in here with any software or tips on this, it would be appreciated! I only use SuperMemo on the Palm, not on a PC desktop.

Can I import my SuperMemo databases (Palm OS) into Spicy Elephant?

Hello,

I literally have hundreds of SuperMemo cards dating back years on Palm OS. I am moving off the Palm to web apps + the Ipod Touch. It looks like your product could be just what I need. But can I import these existing SuperMemo cards??

Thanks,
