Hello, my dears!
Today I want to share with you the biggest update-release so far: Napkee 1.5, that adds support for all the non-iPhone components of Balsamiq Mockups, in both exporters!
What about the iPhone? That’s a difficult one and I will ask your opinion about it very soon.
So, let’s dive into the new features! I corrected some visualization bugs, improved a bit the performances and included a whole set of brand new components.
As usual, Balsamiq Mockups on the left and Napkee on the right.
Arrows
Now you can see your pretty arrows 
Napkee supports all the properties of arrows, including curvature, direction, tips and color.
Curly Braces
Horizontal and vertical ones, with paragraph formatting.
Formatting toolbar
Now you can finally export that “Better Word” project you are keeping in your drawer 
Splitters and scrollbars
Written from scratch, fully interactive!
Multiline button
For your long and detailed error messages…
Menu
Sorry if it took that long to have this component, I hope you will like it.
Tooltip
In the HTML version you can set one of the four tips while in Flex you will have the standard yellow tooltip with a nice shadow.
New preferences
In the near future Balsamiq will introduce a “Skip markup” feature. I decided to include it already in this version of Napkee as well.
If you check Skip markup components you won’t have Arrow, Callout, Comment, Geometric Shape, Curly braces, Rex X and Scratch out on your preview or exported files.
In this release you can find a brand new Webcam settings tab.
From there you can tell your Flash player to allow Napkee to use your webcam so you can see the live preview on the exported mockups!
I hope you will enjoy this whole set of changes and as usual, 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 (you could have this problem)
- online, from this page
Talk to you soon!
Ciao, Enrico
