Screencasts. It would be great to have some generic screen casts that contributers (in my case customers) could watch to get a good feel of what concept share is about and how to use it. People tend to use the basic commenting feature, but the rest of the features are lost to everyone and I can’t always train my clients on it.

Hey FataL,

I have updated the engine to use png instead of jpg files. This change will go out with tonights update.

Great service! I just joined to CorelDrawConceptShare…
BTW, there really should be PNG format insted of lousy compressed JPEG when you importing concepts from URL.

Good job with the new hide comment. Looks/works great.

The hide comment feature is very nicely implemented, just noticed it today.

Thanks for all the hard work!

FYI, to those that requested the “Hide Comment” feature, we have great news, it will be included in tonight’s update. Enjoy!

Josh,

Apparently the print summary was not working in Safari due to an issue in the browser with percentage based heights. Regardless, I have fixed the problem and should be live within the next day or so. Thanks for the screenshot, it was great insight into the problem you were having.

@Matthew

Re:print summary:

-Clicking the print button on the concept does nothing
-File-> Print Summary returns a blank window (http://dznr.org/pv9q)
- Same thing with Workspace->Print Summary

I would like to see ways to mark comments as complete so that you can print out the summary like a task list, or at least filter out comments from before/after a certain date.

re:Hide Comment

It would be great if you hide a comment that it stays hidden until you call it back. It seems like in the V1 hide comment it would just pop right back up if you came back to it. Some sort of work there would be cool.

You guys have done a fabulous job on getting the feedback, but it’s still hard to get that feedback into a list for the designer. (My concepts are getting commented like crazy, and it gets hard to keep track of progress other than deleting comments that have already been taken care of)

Thanks for the update Matthew, great to see conceptshare continually updating and evolving.

Versioning/Revisioning would be a very welcome addition!

Thanks for all the wonderful insight; it will only help us make the product better for you. Figured I’d run through some of the comments and make a few comments of my own. I would welcome those that read this to try out the Event window in the workspace (Window -> Events), if you haven’t found it already. We are hoping to make this visible by default but it is a rather daunting window at the moment for users upgrading to V2.

Peter:
- Chris has fixed the â€˜edit conceptâ€™ and renamed it to ‘replace concept’.
- Chris will be changing the ’save concept’ to ‘download concept’ in order to make it more intuitive.
- The ‘Hide Comment’ feature was removed from V2 (it was in V1) and we are going to put it back in. We have received many requests for this feature to come back.

Danny:
- At ConceptShare we have a lot of great ideas for integrations with various software and we welcome any additions. BaseCamp was already on the list but I will add GTalk to the list as well.
- Ability to show all comments at once, or make it more intuitive that there are more comments.
- I will definitely look into the update button being changed to “Apply” and staying on the same “tab” within the workspace. The not saving when changing tabs is an issue as each “tab” is a separate page altogether.
- As noted by Will there currently is an issue with lightboxes, FireFox, Mac, and Flash which we are working on resolving.

Josh:
- As with Peter’s comment the “Hide Comment” feature will be re-introduced shortly.
- If you want your clients to download concepts you can go into the “Edit Workspace” section in the web-manager and check off the “Allow All Users To Download Concepts” option, then they will be able to download them without Admin rights.
- I just tested the print summary and it worked for me. Are you receiving an error? What other kind of options do you want to see in this area?
- Versioning/Revisioning is something we’ve wanted to implement as well and is definitely on the list.
- PSD is something we are actually looking into right now along with a handful of other formats, we will keep you posted.

Any comments I didn’t directly didn’t address will be taken into consideration.
Cheers!
