Michael replied on February 11, 2009 11:42 to the problem "Double clicking an element does not reliably open inline edit" in Balsamiq:

I have found this too, and have taught myself to to single click an element and then hitting enter to edit the text. I do this also because many times a double click will shift an element a little which messes up all my nice alignment.

The URL did not work from above. Try this one:

I feel this can be delivered though the new mockupstogo site. Someone just needs to build the pattern and share them. Look below - this took me only a few minutes.



I will upload my mockup to the mockupstogo site right now. Perhaps it will spark some interest.

What is your school? I would talk to you professor/advisor. If it's a human factors/software design class, someone should really push to get it installed so you can learn how to paper prototype.

Wow - this is great. It works great and is just what I needed. Thank you all for your support.

Sean,
The ability to create, collaborate, and share design patterns created with Balsamiq is coming soon. Stay tuned.

Michael replied on January 08, 2009 16:51 to the idea "Upgrade notice" in Balsamiq:

I think its important to note that we caught this early enough so that the coding was not wasted. However I could see the danger if someone was looking at an older version and coded it accordingly.

Michael shared an idea in Balsamiq on January 08, 2009 16:49:

Upgrade notice

Today I had given a mockup to someone on my team to start coding. I gave them a BMML file and told them to start on the html and css coding. - Great.

Later I met with him and he was puzzled why I was talking so much about fieldsets (a new feature in 1.5) as part of my design. He exclaimed there we no fieldsets specified in my design, and it took us a while to figure out how he could be so confused.

Then we realized it was because he had a older version of Mockups that did not support this new feature.

It would be a good enhancement to notify the user when they load a BMML, that the mockup contains unknown UI elements, and that it might be a good idea to upgrade.

I posted about Paper Prototyping and since you mention, I will post it here:

Why not use the import image feature for something like this special case?

Michael replied on December 30, 2008 14:49 to the idea ""property grid"" in Balsamiq:

This would be a great use of the design pattern portal.

Wow - thats a great idea!

Michael replied on December 30, 2008 13:01 to the idea "Text "wrap" option for overlapping elements" in Balsamiq:

yeah - nice to have, but probably a big deal to implement. Why would something like this be needed for a mockup?

Michael replied on December 29, 2008 21:40 to the idea "Line breaks in data grid and text wrapping" in Balsamiq:

Here is an example of a data grid that I cannot seem to replicate in Balsamiq.

I never saw a response on this - which surprised me. Peldi, what are your thoughts on this? – Michael, on December 29, 2008 17:32

Peldi,
Yes - we should try for that. Lets talk live.
