This could definitely be handy...

But i do often work in a sprawl loads of designs on one massive canvas!

One thing i think could be tweaked with the automatic canvas sizing; is being a bit more generous with the space added to buffer the object and the edge of the canvas. It can feel a little tight at the moment. I'd alos like to be able to scroll and enlarge the canvas when dragging and dropping an object.

tomr started following the idea "Fixed canvas size option" in Balsamiq.

Mmm I did think about that...

I guess the editing and layering options are the same for all objects though?

Maybe if there were placeholders for the options even if they're not always applicable...

A lot of the time products cheat and bury the object specific options in a right click!

It's a difficult one!

Pin the Toolbox

I'd really like to be able to pin / stop the toolbox auto disappearing.

When i'm quickly clicking between objects it can get a bit psychadelic!

A comment on the question "How do I update Balsamiq Mockups?" in Balsamiq:

Ahah! I expected it to be in Help, (probably only because that's where we put it ;-) in our products)! Thanks! – tomr, on September 01, 2008 08:53

tomr marked one of Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni's replies in Balsamiq as useful. Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied to the problem "Registering / Serial - Company Name".

Check for updates would be great.

Is there also a way of finding out what version's installed?

Registering / Serial - Company Name

When you enter your license / serial - it should probably be a bit clearer in the dialogue that the 'company name' (i can't remember the exact field) needs to match the one you entered when you purchased your license.

I used my name in the purchase, but put my company name in the serial dialogue then got a bit confused why i couldn't register. Figured it out after a few seconds but a slight string change would probably completely avoid the ambiguity

Zoom Zoom

Adding Zoom would be great.

Our team are all so used to viso - we're always hitting CTRL + Scroll Wheel to zoom in and out.

It'd be reall useful for lining stuff up, in more intricate mock ups.

Pasting to other applications!

Copy / Paste as pictures into other applications

If I copy something in Balsamiq i'd like to be able to paste it directly into another application as an image e.g. pasting into word.

Was the first feature my colleague asked about (after tabs)!
