Hi guys, this was fixed yesterday. http://www.balsamiq.com/blog/2010/03/...

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 17, 2010 17:22 to the problem "MyBalsamiq does not work with Flash 10.0.45.2" in Balsamiq:

Hi guys, we just updated the app with a new version of swfobject, which we use for embedding the flash files. Can you please try again and see if it made a difference?

A comment on the problem "Can't save mockups in Confluence 3.1" in Balsamiq:

Hi Zach, sorry in the delay responding. I'm traveling right now. I'll take a look this week-end ok? So sorry it's taking this long...I tried to replicate the issue locally but couldn't, so I'll have to dig deeper but can't do it while I'm on the road. :( – Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni, on March 17, 2010 17:21

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 15, 2010 14:25 to the problem "Program elements disappear inc save button" in Balsamiq:

This is a side-effect of your other bugs. Let us know if you see it again using http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mock...

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 15, 2010 14:24 to the problem "checkbox group text all appears on one line" in Balsamiq:

Hi Josh, this should also be fixed in http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mock... which hopefully goes live tomorrow.

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 15, 2010 13:41 to the problem "Froze when adding checkbox group" in Balsamiq:

Hi Josh, this is fixed in http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mock... and will go live tomorrow.

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 13, 2010 20:35 to the problem "Problem Saving and Closing Mockup in Confluence" in Balsamiq:

Hi Brad, sorry you've hit this issue. It's not one that we've hit before.
Does it happen on every mockup (say one called "test"), on every wiki page?
Can you email me the full URL you see when you edit a mockup that fails? The one before you hit "save and close".

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 13, 2010 00:07 to the problem "Can't save mockups in Confluence 3.1" in Balsamiq:

Hi Zach, do you know what changed that could have started causing this? Did you upgrade the plugin? This is usually caused by a mis-installed plugin, which can happen for some reason. The solution in the past has always been to completely uninstall the plugin (the mockups will still be there, no worries), making sure all versions are deleted. Then restarting Confluence and uploading the latest jar via the "Plugins" administration page.

If this still doesn't work, we'll have to deeper. Does it happen with all mockups? does it happen with a mockup simply called "test" (no dashes or any other special characters in the name...)

Hi there, try this: \[O\] or \[V\], it should work.

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 15:00 to the question "Ordered groups of templates..." in Balsamiq:

Hi Alan, Projects is on the roadmap! http://community.balsamiq.com/balsami... for more details.

A comment on the problem "Properties window follows my mouse pointer and obscures controls" in Balsamiq:

it's actually not that bad. Rolling over the library makes the inspector disappear, try it. Anyways, sounds like maybe this is not the tool for you. We maintain a list of wireframing tools here: http://www.twitter.com/balsamiq/wiref... - I hope it helps! – Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni, on March 09, 2010 14:52

A comment on the idea "How about a line tool?" in Balsamiq:

Great! Added to the TODO. :) – Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni, on March 09, 2010 13:37

A comment on the idea "How about a line tool?" in Balsamiq:

Hi Lauren, thank you. Would adding a "solid / dashed" choice in the property inspector for the Horizontal and Vertical Rule controls solve 80% of your problem? – Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni, on March 09, 2010 13:27

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 11:46 to the problem "Copy/Paste using Mac/Chrome doesnt work with Fogbugz plugin" in Balsamiq:

Hi stauer, are you trying to copy/paste with the keyboard? If that's the case, Chrome unfortunately "eats" those keystrokes and never passes it to the flash player. That's why we have copy/paste icons in the application bar and in the property inspector as well.

As for the danish characters, can you tell me a bit more? Have you tried switching "Use System Fonts" on?

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 11:42 to the problem "Bug with pasting text in Product Activation window" in Balsamiq:

mfwallace, THANK YOU! I've been chasing this bug for SO LONG, and you have finally given me the right steps to reproduce it.

We'll fix it very soon, thanks again.

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 11:41 to the problem "Export to PDF needs to export at actual size." in Balsamiq:

sounds like we need an option here. I don't usually like options, but I understand the two use-cases here: one for viewing (page size doesn't matter) and one for printing (for paper-prototyping sessions).

I'll add it to the TODO.

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 11:33 to the question "Set colors of links generated with [link] markup" in Balsamiq:

We plan on adding a preference panel to projects in the future (once we bring Projects to the desktop), this looks like a great candidate for it. I've added it to the list, thanks!

A comment on the idea "Add ability to link text surrounded with []" in Balsamiq:

Hi. We need to switch to a new text rendering engine before we can make this happen, so it's more involved than it looks. :( But we'll get there, stick with us! :) – Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni, on March 09, 2010 11:32

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 11:28 to the problem "Deleting Tab bar it's link isn't deleted and it get broken whole Tabs bar structure" in Balsamiq:

Hi Roman, sorry about this hassle. We'll take a look soon.

Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni replied on March 09, 2010 11:26 to the idea "Preview those Mockups in Win7 Explorer" in Balsamiq:

Hi JB, I'll add this to our feature requests list. It would be cool indeed.
