My good friend Steven Grosvenor has written a new Command Panel for Flash which provides an interface to add comments to Flash files.
The Comment Adder Panel allows you to add comments at the click of a button, including the following types of comments:
Comment Block, To Do, Bug, Kludge, Tricky
It also has the option to include your signature and a date/timestamp. Very handy indeed.
Steven Grosvenor has been busy. A couple of days ago he posted a new Fireworks MX / MX 2004 Command on his site called ‘“Image Edger PRO”:http://www.phireworx.com/content/members/login.asp’.
Image Edger PRO is a batch conversion utility with a difference; it gives you the ability to apply en masse elegant edging effects to whole folders of images, rather than an image at a time, with complete control over the following factors: Source Image Folder, Destination Image Folder, File Prefix (for exported files), Percentage Resizer (percentage to resize the source images), Canvas Color, Stroke Color ,Stroke Width and Corner Roundness.
I’ve given it a go and it’s pretty nifty for large batch operations. It even gives you a psuedo ‘preview’ within the command interface.
Image Edger PRO is available to purchase from the Phireworx site for $9.95.
I’ve finished the Fireworks ‘Main Toolbar’ Command Panel and it’s now available to download for free.
The panel is a SWF command panel version of the Main Toolbar in Fireworks. It’s more compact and better looking than the default Main Toolbar (I ‘stole’ the icons from ‘Dreamweaver MX 2004’). I Dock it above the Optimize panel for easy access.
I’ve been tinkering during spare moments with a simple little command panel to replace the ever so ugly ‘main toolbar’ in Fireworks MX / MX 2004.
It’s almost finished, I just need to complete work on the ‘import’ function, then I reckon it’s ready to go.
Steven Grosvenor has released a new Fireworks MX / MX 2004 Command panel called ‘“Batch Resizer Percent”:http://www.phireworx.com’ (?).
According to his site this is a ‘nifty tool for rapid batch resizing of folders of images.’
I’ve not had a chance to play with the extension myself yet, but it seems pretty straight forward and simple, although I’m a little confused as to how it differs to the built in batch processing tools that Fireworks includes. I guess it’s just a different route to achieving the same end result.
I understand that Steven has a number of other commands on the way in the very near future. Good stuff.
