Still no multiple undo

Freeway
1

Honestly will never relate to this kind of logic.

Freeway has its faults but compared to other web solutions this ain’t one of them.

To dump such an elegant piece of software that makes web design infinitely more simple because of this one admittedly nice to have enhancement is a bit like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Oh well, enjoy your windows solution but you’re always welcome to rejoin the great community here when you’re ready.

Uh huh. I think I touched a nerve when I posted this Wednesday.

To all who replied, thanks. It confirms for me that there is, in fact, just One Undo.

I get it, that it’s work to add a feature. I used to write code for apps a LONG time ago. And no one likes to un-sew a garment, or start over.

But I have to pass on this software, and I wonder how many other Trial downloaders do the same, for the same reason, but don’t speak up.

I REALLY like this software, and I would love to make it a staple for all my web work, but I can easily see me becoming violent and dangerous over the the One Undo “feature”.

Back to Windows for me.

Some things are just deal-breakers. I get it. It’s not a one-size-fits-
all world.

True and if Softpress doesn’t want to do the work on it then losing customers is inevitable trial or not. I don’t speak for the company, but just gathering from their response on this issue this is what it appears to be okay to them.

I think the answer that Softpress has given so far is a good deal more nuanced than that. Freeway is built on a framework (MacApp) that does not support multiple undo. In order to provide that service, Freeway would have to be re-written from the ground up using a different framework. I don’t know for sure if they are planning to do that, but I believe that it is necessary for them to move off of the current framework in order to remain compatible with Mac OS X as it evolves. The current framework has been on life-support for some time now, and it’s quite remarkable that Softpress’s ace engineers have managed to keep it running as long as they have.

I rescind my comment tone above as I didn’t want to come off as saying that Softpress is “oh well” about the situation. I don’t speak for them nor do I imply anything by my comment.

I see the issue as “if they currently could, they totally would…” Perhaps a kick in the pants update to Cocoa for Freeway 6 would bring the features users have been hoping for.

Also I’m really hoping that Freeway, someday, will be 64-bit.
