First Post-Retreat Release
Hi everyone!
This update is a small one, we're still recovering from our first company retreat, which was AMAZING.
You can read all about it in Natalie's trip report here.
Here's what's new in today's release:
- All versions: we fixed the elusive "properties revert to default" bug, which was caused by using a slider in a property inspector and accidentally moving the mouse outside of the Mockups window. I know, crazy huh? Thanks to Diana, Jim Jarret and Chris Michael for the debugging help!
- All versions: you can now hit ENTER or F2 to enter a group to edit its contents. Thanks Adi Roiban for the good idea!
- Mockups for Desktop: when pasting from your clipboard, we detect if it contains BMML and interpret it properly for you. This was a feature request by Max Andersen (via Twitter), who needs it for his SWT to BMML tool.
- Mockups for Desktop: added {mockup-name} to Label and Paragraph controls. It's like {mockup-path}, but it only returns the name of the mockup file.
- Mockups for Desktop: fixed a bug with exporting to PDF while inside a group. Thanks John Booker for the bug report (via email).
- Mockups for XWiki: fixed a bug with the image dialog.
We also fixed a number of issues with myBalsamiq, and plan on updating the beta on our production machines this week.

It’s been at least 7 months since you mentioned a new skin was on its way. When do you think we will have a choice for this available?
Thx….
I love Balsamiq so this is not a whine…
