Re: General feedback on GUI Designer Software (workflow, and features)

Thanks for the feature requests Even.

We will look into making a dockable properties window, where the
currently selected object's properties would be displayed. I also find
myself wanting this feature quite a lot, just haven't had the time to
polish off a way of doing it. Originally we tried with property grids,
but these were not configurable enough for our liking. So simply
docking the actual property window might be a next best thing.

Tabbing through objects on a page is a neat idea. I hadn't thought of
that before. We will look into how possible this is (overriding the
default tabbing order of windows to do custom things is not a simple
task).

Grid is a feature requested by quite a few people. We will be
implementing this in a future release.
When using the align tools, try selecting the objects in order so that
the object you want to align TO is selected last (or first, can't
remember). They will always align to this last selected object.

Animated buttons with swf will not happen. iPhone simply doesn't
support flash and we aren't going to be writing our own custom swf
format parser. We are however looking into other animation
possibilities.

Default button press sound cannot be changed at the moment. We will
look at adding this as a new feature.
For now you can use the sound manager to play custom sounds when a
join is raised (ie. when a button in simulation mode on join 1 is
pressed, you can make it play a sound file attached to join 1).

User button library is something we have been throwing ideas around
about. Haven't come to a conclusion yet, but sharing button designs,
etc would be a cool feature that we can look into.

Thanks again.
