Unfortunately, a few more bugs popped up this week. Nothing terrible, but stuff that should be fixed before 1.0. There should be a “beta 3″ in the next day or two. We want to make sure people can keep using the free public beta without running into the 14-day expiration.

Okay, the new “beta 2″ with a few fixes and a new 14-day trial period has been updated. Whew! I think we’re getting very close to releasing 1.0…

Peter, my apologies! Beta 2 should be going up tomorrow. I’m actually in Prague right now with the developers, so I’ll be sure they get that out. (If anyone out there is in Prague, come to the little indesign user group mtg. we’re having tomorrow and say hi!)

Lo David. I’m getting messages that the plug-in suite is expiring tomorrow. I think you said there was another beta that fixes some of the issues…

When will it be ready for tire-kicking?

Thanks!

Ah! Thank you, Fred, I was reading too fast. Selling the mouse is a fine response.

David,

Pio wrote sell the “mouse” not the house!

Pio: Thanks! I hope you like them. Fortunately, I don’t think you need to sell your house to afford these plug-ins. At the introductory price, it only averages about 9 euros for each of the plug-ins (that’s about US$13 per plug-in).

Im a keyboard shortcut freak. I guess that after being able to apply them to any layer, swatch, and even style will make me want to sell my mouse… Im gonna try them right now!

Are you kidding, thank YOU and DTP Tools for working so hard to give us all these features at a reasonable price!

1) Aha! Excellent! I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten that annoying alert when I tried to adjust the left indent!

2) Ok, that is a nice feature! Although, as you said a little risky if it’s a threaded frame and a character moves to the next frame. It would change the leading of the line in the next frame.

3) A hidden shift-click! I love it. Are there any other modifier key+clicks hidden away in the plugin?
