Hm, what do you mean with that, does it crash for you? If so, when? Something which is possible to reproduce?

Text has a way of overlapping making it look like a blob of text.

Also, when I attempt to enlarge a text block, the bottom of the block just keeps going down and down. It is very difficult to get it exactly where I want it.

I've just bought it. After a few little problem (solved, but Website Painter was innocent!!!)

MacOs X Versione from Mac App Store

There are some little and some "less little" deficiencies:

- the "recent files" always looses history
- lists (bullet, or square or numbered): i can't believe they're missing...
- menu interface improvements: when a document is saved the command should be dimmed; When "properties" is showed the menu command should tell me: "hide properties" and do it!
- choose a color from properties is confusing. there is a button with 3 dots that is useless: it should be more intuitive to click on the colored rectangle
- opening .html files as tabs is useful. And you can split the view in more parts (unintuitive) Otherwise some times is useful having more floating window; perhaps this behavior derives from the avesome Windows's window management
- clicking on the tab name a Contextual menu should be useful in order to open tab in a new window (like safari or firefox)
- orizzontal scroll of window doesn't work (useful in split view)
- more Drag&Drop Support (such as dragging a color from the color palette over a text or an object)
- a tool to copy the formatting of text or objet and past over onother (such as filemaker pro does with field and such as Aperture does with image calibration)
- closing the window close the program (another windows behavior hated on a mac)
- More project opened at the same time (like iweb does)
- Easier instruments in order to put the more common contents in a click (such iWe does with google maps, youtube video)
- gallery image simple to create (again, such as iWeb does)
- Manage subfolder for more complex sites
- More integration with the ilife suite
- More and More template!!!
- a few localization (in my case: Italian)

I think you have a lot of work remaining to do.
You had my little contribute. Don't disappoint us!

dragging an itiem with ALT shoud duplicate it; with SHIFT and ALT should duplicate it and maintein it on the same line (orizzontal or vertical).

Make the upload of only one page (or, best, the difference) to improve uploade when testing

In the slideshow it's possible to view only the first image. I need to do a preview and wait the loop in order to check them all...

True, that would be an idea as well.

Hi

This is a neat little programme with more than just a few interesting ideas behind it. I am just after buying it, seeing as it got me half way through redesigning one of my old websites in no time at all.

For the moment, there is one thing bugging me, though (apart from some things already on the list): Why is there no way of starting/stopping a slideshow?
I know I can set the maximum display time for a picture so it does not run off on me, but after waiting long enough it obviously will, still.

If you could remedy that, I would be very grateful.

Oh, and how about a "run just once" option, while you are at it?

Cheers and keep up the good work.

Hi again

I am sorry, but I have told a lie in my previous entry: There is not only one thing bugging me!

Could you please get it to save window size and location?

BTW, I am talking about the Mac version, here (and previously).

Thanks for posting. :) Those are quite nice ideas, added to the list.
About save window size and location: Yes, would also be possible.
