visual break point between pages

Allow the insertion of a visual 'break point' between pages. Kind of like the final 'thank you' screen but just as a marker between pages. Now it sometimes seems as if the display of a new page is the result of a user click, which can be disorienting, especially for novices.

Allow to duplicate a test

It would be great if you could create a copy of a test to make a new one. I've got some custom tasks and welcome notes that I'd like to re-use. I can't even copy this from finished tests, which is a bit of a nuisance.

Are TimedText (XML .tt files) captions supported

Are TimedText (XML .tt files) captions supported at all? They don't seem to be.

text field with label

How about a text field UI widget that *includes* the label? I usually put labels above the text field, so this would save me a lot of work.

Small size images look weird

When i scale an image to a small (thumbnail) size, the box loses its square shape, which looks a bit weird.
I've trie using the icon component, but that has fewer size options and it doesn't allow me to add my own image.

I'd like a similar option, but to me the Illustrator-like 'distribute evenly' and 'space evenly' are enough.

To Comic Sans' credit, every other font I've tried has failed. Comic Sans is the only font that looks somewhat sketchy and is still properly legible.
Architect seems like a very good alternative if the kerning issues are sorted out. It'll definitely get designers on board a lot more easily.

I'd als like to add that manually setting the size for individual tags doesn't really fit with the concept of a tag cloud. In a real situation, you wouldn't be able to set tag size manually (unless you're cheating ;-))

I'd also like to be able to use multi-word tags. Shouldn't be too hard to implement if you use the comma as a tag separator (like with the breadcrumb).

How about making the icon images a user-configurable list, perhaps just a folder with png's coupled with a text/xml file?

tvandeputte replied on October 22, 2009 13:04 to the question "export as HTML" in Balsamiq:

I'd like a basic HTML export with simple image maps. Anything beyond that would be endangering the simplicity and portability of the exported files.

tvandeputte replied on October 22, 2009 13:02 to the question "Text Links Should Have Ability To Specify Landing Page" in Balsamiq:

I think the issue is that, when you insert multiple links in a line of text or paragraph, you can only define one link destination.
I would personally love a similar system as with the breadcrumb and button bar widgets, where the amount of links is dynamically determined based on the amount of 'list' items.

tvandeputte replied on October 22, 2009 13:00 to the idea "Text "wrap" option for overlapping elements" in Balsamiq:

Yup, definitely would be a good idea. I used to make my mockups in Fireworks, and this is one of the major annoyances I had with it.
I have absolutely no idea how you'd implement it, though :-)

Yet, one year on, there is still no progress?
