Updating? Road Map?
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2009 6:17 pm
I downloaded and used quite extensively Maple for a few days and had a couple questions/observations.
1. One of the things that really appealed to me was the apparent care taken in HTML export, however there doesn't appear to be many options available to the user to control the output.
2. I have some content that I tried to organize using bullets, but no matter which bullet or number style I chose, when I save it reverts back to roman number bulleting.
3. If I insert a table, format and add content and then decide to remove borders it always leaves the left side border in tact. You have to select to remove borders again - even if you make no actual selection in the border dialogue box before it will be removed.
4. When you're in the note pane there are very few options available in the right click popup menu that would help in editing without having to go to the toolbar.
5. When I make a selection in the note pane, change the color, and then highlight another selection to change the color, the previous color is not selected.
6. It seems the only way to resize the right side of a table is from the ruler... you have to get your mouse pointer in just the right place to grab it and move it.
7. Although I selected Verdana 10pt as the default font, when I create a blank table the font is set to Verdana 12 pt.
8. The order of items in the tree seems to change. I have some entries that are numbered sequentially and will then save. After closing and opening the program, some items will not be in the same place as when the file was saved.
My main concern before purchasing the product is if it is being actively updated and if there is a roadmap available to users for the future of the product.
Thanks.
