Announcing the beta version of the export to desktop feature. (0.071.2)

This beta version is available to account holders of Apple accounts and upwards. Click on the export button to begin the export process. A ZIP file which can be uncompressed using WinZip will be made for downloading. Once unzipped you project can be presented full screen from your desktop without the need of an Internet connection. Exported projects can also be used from CDROM presentations.

At the moment the export function supports PC Windows users. A Mac version is being worked upon.

The formatpixel editor (0.171.01) now supports a zoom in and out function to help place objects. Scroll around the work area using the automatic scrollbars. The object editing tools have now been moved to a fixed palette to aid object editing.

A new fp projects directory page has been added allowing users to browse all the published projects on the site. This also quickly links to not only the project but also comments for that project. Additional viewing stats are also recorded so you can start tracking how many hit’s your project gets!

Be sure to check out the new Category and Keyword indexing for your projects. You can set these on your ‘Project Status’ page and will eventually help to make your project searchable and indexed in the fp projects directory page.

We now have over 2000 users and rising each day. Thanks to all those who have signed up and support formatpixel. We look forward to rolling out new features in the future. If you have any comments or ideas then let us know…

formatpixel’s saving and loading engine have been totally rewritten to work off of XML.

Projects are now saved in XML files which have really improved loading and saving. This will also give us more scope in projects, how much you can save and also help the export to desktop function that should be on it’s way sooooon.
