Jaanus's dashboard

Jaanus reported a problem in Balsamiq on March 04, 2010 18:20:

Undoing a delete should restore the deleted item's position in stack

1. I had a browser window in Mockups which a bunch of components on top of it
2. I meant to select a component window and hit Delete to delete it. I accidentally selected browser window and deleted it.
3. After noticing my mistake, I hit Undo.

Expected behavior: browser window should be restored as the bottom-most item.

Actual behavior: browser window was restored, but it was the topmost item of the stack and everything else was below it. I had to manually send it to back.

Only show the relevant scrollbar, not always both

When content is too big vertically, Mockups shows both vertical and horizontal scrollbars. This is annoying if the content actually fits horizontally and only the vertical scrollbar would be relevant. It makes me feel that I should scroll horizontally, even though there's nowhere to scroll.

So, only the relevant scrollbars should be shown. (If it does not fit horizontally+vertically, then of course both scrollbars are needed.)

SkypeToGo/SkypeOut call quality problem

Skype To Go call quality has been bad in the past 7 days or so. I am calling someone with Skype To Go daily. It was fine for many months, but recently they report that they do not hear me properly, I'm dropping words. I hear them fine. This has happened in multiple locations so unlikely that it is my mobile coverage problem. (I'm using iPhone. Haven't tried Skype app, as often need to call at location without wifi.)

Thanks, that is great news. – Jaanus, on February 26, 2010 22:13

I was trying to do the same (resize when moving a control) and surprised it didn't work. I guess resizing something else is an OK workaround for now. Another fix would be that you could manually input canvas size in pixels - this is automatic most of the time (like it is now), but if you know you need a bigger canvas, you could just input it.

A comment on the question "Insert a mockup by reference instead of copy..." in Balsamiq:

This "big locked custom controls" sounds quite right, I agree there's no need to treat them differently. – Jaanus, on February 07, 2010 18:26

I don't think it's that tragic. It really is a tricky one to figure out if you want to get it right. Granted, shouldn't take a year, but the world is not perfect. I have faith that we will see this feature in 2010. – Jaanus, on January 22, 2010 19:07

With latest Mockups, here's what I'm trying to do:


1. Create one mockup, clone it, so I have two similar mockups

2. Add a new control to one mockup

3. Select control, Copy

4. Paste control to other mockup


What I expect: control will be pasted in the same position as it was, so that these parts of the two mockups look similar.


What actually happens: the position is a bit to the right and down, so I have to manually nudge the pasted control into place.

I want this. Sad to see it was in discussion as long as a year ago, and is not yet there. I feel like you have stolen some of the content that I have generated, I'd like to get to it but can't.
