We've decided to change the font to comics sans for sketch look, and verdana when we add the switch to native look feature. This is so we have no licensing issues in the future. Too much hassle trying to figure out costs of embedded fonts for both the online version and the upcoming desktop app. This also has the added advantage of making the application smaller.
On our staging server, I'm testing some new features about to go live in the next few days:
- master pages
- rollover icons on the sitemap wireframe names to duplicate, rename and delete pages.
- callout number component
- text font changed to Comic Sans
- can now change text size, color, formatting
- page background color change.
- can minimize the comments box in Preview
- initials show on left panel of the comments creator
- export all images in MyLibrary as zip file for sharing.
- zip import of multiple images
There are still a couple of dozen other tasks still to work on, but these are the ones I wanted to do first. We are also almost finished with language localization strings etc, so if anyone out there wants to translate into their language, I can send the file. However, we will handle the french, spanish, german, dutch, italian and russian ourselves.
cheers!

I work as a project manager in a digital agency and have just been trying out iplotz and a couple more features in the manage mode I've thought would be useful are:
1. When in manage mode have a drop down to specific pages & comments in the task list
2. When in manage mode allow custom columns in the project task list (or for now have a notes field)
3. Changing the font size within components would be useful
3. Creating custom shapes and adding them to the library would also be useful (like in Visio)
If you have already put these features in and I'm just not finding them then I'd love to know.
I'll look forward to further developments. It certainly looks like an interesting bit of software that could potentially be very useful.
some answers...
We've been concentrating on the wireframe side, so once done with that we shall revisit themanage side to make it more functional and useful. We do have a notes field within the project properties, but not in the column...we might put that as a mouseover on the project row...
We already allow font sizing within the the component, we will add more functionality to the text, and possibly to other components as well..as long as it does not add too much to the size and speed of the app.
You can already add elements of your choice via the MyLibrary - we are expanding that so you can add stencil sets of your own objects and others that are shared on the website
thanks for the feedback!
Hi Mark
I have just goofed around with iPlotz for a little while now, and I kind of like it. I am not TOTALLY convinced yet, to be honest, but I will continue playing around with it, and if I notice specific things I will write them down as suggestions.
Last thing: I can help you with a Danish translation if you need. You should be able to see my e-mail from comment, if not, let me know :-)
