Michael replied on July 17, 2009 20:57 to the question "Rename mockup" in Balsamiq:

OK - So it was not obvious to click the title but I learned now how to change title.

I think your design is a bit flawed and it should offer rollover highlight effect to let me know I can edit it.

Still though, notice that the title does not appear correcting:

Michael asked a question in Balsamiq on July 17, 2009 20:51:

Rename mockup

I cannot seem to rename a mockup once I created it. Actually in my case I uploaded it.



Where do I change the name? Also what led me to this is perhaps another bug. See the image below. Why does my mockup name not come out as expected?

Michael reported a problem in Balsamiq on July 17, 2009 20:43:

GMT NaN

When I look at my employees, I see that I am in GMT. Any way to change that? I also get a NaN next to the denotion.

Company Logo

Upload company LOGO makes UI screen look bad.

Michael reported a problem in Balsamiq on July 17, 2009 12:20:

IE8 issues

Doesnt seem to work on IE8.
I am using a guest computer and it appears that the much of the screen and ajax interface (even feedback page) wont work here. I also get many warnings about secure and non secure with no way to see both at the same time (might be IE8 secure defualt).

Michael replied on July 15, 2009 05:43 to the idea "Icon Library" in Balsamiq:

There must be a bug. Right after I insert icon, I cannot double click it. It seems I must first select icon before this feature works.

Michael replied on July 14, 2009 13:47 to the problem "Objects sometimes move ("jump") when selected" in Balsamiq:

Yes - this has plagued me since I first started using Balsamiq a year ago. I have reported it as well, and even saw a posting that it was fixed. However I still find this issue and it's quite an annoyance.

Peldi,
I seem to remember you posting about how you fixed this with click event timers, but it will appears to be a common problem still.

It happens to me most when I just try to click and select an item. I have no intention to move it. However in selecting it I accidentally nudge it. Would it be better to wait a few more milliseconds until the mouse is down for a period of time before invoking the move?

Michael replied on July 07, 2009 10:35 to the idea "Select image for icon faster" in Balsamiq:

Now that you can double click the image control, why not let the icon control share the same behavior?

Michael started following the idea "Linking not by filename but by inner mockup ID" in Balsamiq.

Michael replied on July 04, 2009 00:05 to the praise "Undocumented feature for radio buttons and checkboxes" in Balsamiq:

I agree and posted an enhancement for those that cannot remember...

Michael replied on June 27, 2009 01:30 to the question "Text Links Should Have Ability To Specify Landing Page" in Balsamiq:

Um, why do we need this? What's wrong with the existing linking of mockups?

Michael replied on June 20, 2009 10:14 to the problem "In Full Screen Presentation, the mock-ups move and are not aligned!" in Balsamiq:

This is because in Full Screen, the mockups are automatically centered. I have struggled with this myself. You can solve it by putting a transparent background UI control that encompasses your entire area on each of your mockups.

Michael replied on May 25, 2009 09:55 to the idea "Link to other mock up screens via combo box selections" in Balsamiq:

I still think it is worth creating a special control that is for linking. Its a transparent no-border rectangle control for the purpose of linking.

Michael replied on May 23, 2009 01:52 to the question "Feedback needed on Comic Sans replacement" in Balsamiq:

I predict that once you try and change it, many of us will not be able to get used to a new font and beg you to put it back.

A comment on the question "Presentation mode..." in Balsamiq:

OMG - Much much better. Thank you thank you thank you. We can now use this, and just in time for a big usability test we are conducting. – Michael, on May 15, 2009 12:00

A comment on the question "Presentation mode..." in Balsamiq:

Peldi,
This big hand is a distraction yes. I would expect that if I turn off Big Cursor, that the hand reverts to normal cursor (the kind you get when you hover over an HTML) link. No color, just a plain link cursor. – Michael, on May 06, 2009 12:56

A comment on the question "Presentation mode..." in Balsamiq:

Also - its quite strange to click this tool bar when using the big ass pointer. Is it possible to dynamically change the cursor when you hover over this toolbar toggles? – Michael, on May 06, 2009 12:53

A comment on the question "Presentation mode..." in Balsamiq:

I was excited to see this but it's still missing an important thing, which is to also hide the huge hand when you hover over the links. Can't we make that happen too? – Michael, on May 06, 2009 12:48
