Hello:
I used Facespan 2.0 briefly some time ago and was disappointed. Now
I've started using Facespan 3.5 and almost at once, I've started
running into similar problems. During, what I consider fairly routine
work, I run into all sorts of odd behaviour.
1 Some ICN# resources will display in a list box other,
apparently identical items will not.
2 Similar problems with bevel buttons.
3 Tab panels behave oddly, if the tabs are hidden by removing
the labels. 'Scroll' works without tabs, but an object on layer 5,
for example, can show up on layers 1 and 5.
4 Changing window 'forms' seems unreliable in edit mode.
5 I find the application crashes after a while, particularly if
one makes many changes to the properties of objects.
6 I understand there are no plans to fix outstanding bugs as
the company priority is now the OSX port.
I don't present this as in any way a definitive test of Facespan.
Rather, I wonder if others have had the same problems. And more to
the point, do professional users consider the software worth using?
(I notice very little traffic on the Facespan user list).
Is there an alternative?
If you wish your views to be held in confidence, please write me direct.
