Re: Beginner

0 comments
I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Command Fusion and thank
them for such a great product. And a FREE product at that if you only
have a single device.
After downloading CF GUI designer about 10 days ago I quickly went to
work trying to figure out the software, since it does not come with
any instructions I found it a little quirky at the beginning but
quickly got it figured out to allow me to set up the equipment I was
controlling. I now have a fully functional multi page (10 device)
system configured on my iPhone.
No complaints, just a few comments and suggestions.

1) A stretchy button that works in the vertical would be my first
request.
2) I know the software is aimed at developers and programmers but from
what I have read, more and more end users would like to get involved
and having some form of documentation on how to use and set up would
go along way to promoting the use of your software.
3) Some way to file the commands in the system manager would be a
help. Having 10 devices set up each with multiple pages and dozens of
commands per page is a lot of commands to sift through. Maybe the same
tree structure as the project / page set up?
4) The built in alignment tools are a big help in setting up the
buttons. How about a graph paper background tool or an XYZ coordinates
helper to help keep the spaces between the buttons even and precise.
Again, thanks for a great product and I look forward to seeing your
next version!
