Hello everybody!
Long time no see, uh? I’m sorry for that but December was quite a month: vacations, I had to do some freelancing work to fund a bit Napkee (a post will follow in a few days) and more importantly my Mac fell on the floor and broke in a few pieces while I was traveling and that made me lose some days of work (yeah, I know, but I didn’t have my external backup with me ).

I know, there are no excuses to skip releases but I hope you’ll forgive me… pretty please!!

What’s included in this release?

Improved tabs

Now you can see better which tab is selected and which ones are in the background

Disabled text

On Balsamiq Mockups you can disable portions of text by using the -disabled text- notation.
I tried to get the most out of it on Napkee:

There are some limitations though: you cannot partially disable inputs in HTML. Napkee will disable the whole component if you start and finish with a – or simply ignore the disabled part in case of a partially disabled control.

Canvas border and style

Like in Mockups, also Napkee now supports the new borders for the canvas component.

Init code for new interactions!

Napkee, thanks to Custom IDs and Data, already supports some level of interactivity in the same mockup.
You can now write “init” Javascript code that is executed at the page load (and not at the click of an element).
Let’s make an example!

Scenario: I want to show an error message only when a button has been clicked and it should look like this

I right click on the red canvas, I choose Custom properties and I write this

this will hide the error message as soon as the page is opened.
Now, I right click on the Sorry… button and I write

The last step is to right click on Do something really terrible and insert this custom data

We are set! You can see the result here and download the original BMML file here.

Please keep coming with problems, questions and feature requests, I’m here to hear you all!

How can I update?

You have two ways to update Napkee:

• from the application itself, click on Check for updates
• online, from this page

Talk to you soon, I have an announcement to make!
Ciao, Enrico
