It seems that this is not actually dependent on how many mockups use the same file, but it seems more like these are just dead assets that I can't remove from the asset link. I don't know how/why they appeared.

Okay, I went through and checked it out, and it actually has to do with a previous problem I reported yesterday. (Unsure why it popped up today instead of yesterday.)

Right off the bat, pre-existing mockups with images in the "Assets" folder I created for this project (in the same directory as the .bmml file) show up as an empty container with a 'broken image' icon in the upper left corner.

The system already allows linking, and in edit mode, you can choose the state of form objects. I don't think it would be difficult or off-purpose to incorporate this into presentation mode.

Useable form objects in Full Screen Presentation mode.

As many of you know, clients often are often impressed with simple GUI actions when being presented with product mockups.

I would find it to be useful if you could select and deselect radio buttons and checkboxes, type into form textareas, and choose items from a collapsed select box when in "Full Screen Presentation" mode.

None of these actions would have to be linked to anything (radio buttons would not deselect based on other radio buttons being selected), but the visual representation for the client to see that a text field is a text field, and a checkbox is a checkbox, would be very useful.

Sloane Irwin reported a problem in Balsamiq on October 07, 2009 15:28:

Using assets in more than one mockup duplicates asset in drop-down.

When using the 'assets' folder, if an asset is used in more than one currently open mockup that is saved in the same directory as the assets folder, the asset will show up twice in the drop-down to replace the default image replacement.

The following image shows that the folder contains three images. bg,jpg and print_pdf_button.png are used in two open mockups, while login.jpg is only used in one.

I'm using next.284 and this is still an issue for me.

Thanks!

Works perfectly!

That is exactly what I was looking for!

HOWEVER-- When the item is locked, you can't follow the links. I lock the menu layer so the container doesn't move around, but when it's locked, I can't link with ALT+Click

To clarify "large mockup"-- a software mockup involving many screens(separate mockup files), not a mockup that takes up a lot of screen space.

Ctrl+Click to jump to linked mockups!

When working on a large mockup, it would be very useful if Ctrl+click followed any links you were mousing over. If you have a large number of mockups open finding the right one can be a pain, even with the new tooltips. Thanks!

Perfect, thanks so much!

For images with real-image replacements, can you display the actual name of the image file? Currently an image shows up as "Unlock Image ()" when it could easily say "Unlock Image (background.png)"

Thanks!
