I have a few features on my own wishlist for Acetate, but now that it’s had over 200 downloads 1 I thought I would ask you, the users, what you wanted to see next.

Here are my ideas in no particular order; please vote on them in the comments and feel free to add any more you can think of:

  1. Clipboard support (Copy, paste, etc)
  2. File save/load support
  3. Screenshot support
    • Taking a screenshot would capture both Acetate and whatever’s below it, if I can figure out how to
  4. Undo/Redo support
  5. Multiple Acetate windows
  6. Windows version

I’m chuffed to bits that people are using something I made and finding it useful, and I really want to keep it useful. I can only do this with your input.

Thanks!

A couple of lovely people left comments on Facebook with one or two bugs and feature requests for Acetate. I’m working on the features, but for now I thought it was a good chance to roll out the bug fixes in a little patch.

Again, Acetate should update automatically, but if not you can get it from the usual place manually.

First bug reports and fixes 2011/01/26

I received the first crash report from a friend who’s been playing around with Acetate and it was a good chance to test out the auto-update feature so I pushed out a new build last night. It looks like everything’s working, and if you update you get a bonus new feature: Under the Edit menu there’s an option to Clear the sheet.

I also thought of a couple of other instances where Acetate could be used:

  • Annotating a presentation
  • Analyzing a video
  • Doodling when on the phone

As always, if you have any issues with it, please let me know through one of the links on the right or by commenting anywhere on the site.

 

Frist post! And a product announcement. 2011/01/17

I finally updated the site. Go me! In another worrying flurry of activity, I’ve started work on an application for Mac OS X for Animators 1 that simulates a layer of Acetate being laid over the screen.

Read more about it here.
