I think the option to load website from server would be a great idea as you could then work from multiple workstation a lot easyer. The .VSD file is uploaded to the server the surely it wouldnt be to hard to program this option in????

Keep up the good work guys and girls....

Has anyone mentioned the ability to lock down objects?
In photoshop I can lock the background or any layer so it won't get changed or moved unless I unlock it.
I have a site where part of my page has a light color background. I want to be able to click on objects with in that shaded section and move them without also highlighting the background shading object. If it is locked down, it makes it easier.

Just a thought.

I think there should be an "apply to all pages" feature for certain edits. Say I add a page that I want to be accessed from the menu, then I can select and paste over the new menu (links and all) and have it apply to all the other pages with that menu.

I have a simple change. Could the extension of a page be changed in the software to php. I know I could specify a htaccess file to force the browser to look for php scripts but changing the extension would be great. Presently I have to change it manually and that detracts from the ease of VSD and uploading a working site. I also realise this would only apply to non S_Drive hosting. But VSD does upload to other hosts superbly. I believe this would add another bit of icing to the cake.

Prism, great idea! I'd like to see that as an option in the Page Settings (save page as html or php) as well as Standard Settings so one could choose php as an option for all pages as well.

Heidi, a lot of us would like to see locking for objects – also layers (with an option to lock)

VSD is truly great ! Took a while to pick it up (lack of time), but once into it, it really rocks!
Here are a few items for the wish list:

- The possibility to rotate text inside an object

- Insert a graphic/symbol/line inside a text block

- Some more general purpose symbols, arrows, smileys etc.etc.

- Be able to make 2 links type, to set color etc. separate. Now, if one use links for menu items, and color them according to setup scheme, ALL links are treated the same. Menu links might have a diff. background, and making btn. for menu links are not always desirable.

- Be able to make dropdown lists or other selection components

Ahh! Paintbrush you are a kindred spirit. Thanks for your support, Tell you what, visit my site choose a utility tell me why you can use it and it is yours. I have put my contact info on the forum. I do not want to be inundated I will not put it up now.

Very generous of you, Prism! I already have/use your Open Page program, so I won't be greedy!

Having easy access to some PHP functionality would allow for some of the things VSD users have been asking for already; master pages could be created, and/or headers, footers, menus. It would be easy for site contributors to update page sections based on PHP includes. Flexible, fast sites in a snap

Jan, having a text-link color option apart from the general link color option would be very handy.

Potential bug: When renaming pages, if for any reason the process stops before saving, the data in the fields are lost and you have to type in the title and name again. Would be nice to retain the data if saving does not complete.

I have been in the habit of saving, saving, saving many, many, many times during any editing. I had those issues until I started saving after each little change.
