Project manager #2

Nvu's Site Manager was clearly not enough. BlueGriffon's Project Manager starts really being cool and it will be much more powerful than its ancestor. Link checking, sync with remote site and so on. Stay tuned.

Fresh Meat 20081210

bluegriffon-20081210-win32.zip

  • built on XP Pro, contains xulrunner 1.9.1b1pre
  • don't miss File > New Wizard ; it's not fully functional yet, but the CSS Grid Layout builder is already working.
  • if you already installed a previous version of BlueGriffon, it's better to clobber the application data, so please delete directory c:\Documents and Settings\<login>\Application Data\Disruptive Innovations SARL\BlueGriffon
  • just unzip in a newly created dir to install (remove that dir to uninstall)

CSS-based Layouts

I have some great news : I got formal authorization from Yahoo! to add YUI-based CSS Layouts to BlueGriffon. Let me thank Yahoo! (and in particular Nate Koechley and Christian Heilmann) and then Jake Myers, the guy behind the famous http://layouts.ironmyers.com. The first visible result is the new "New page wizard" that is not checked in yet. See below a very early screenshot of that wizard. Warning, the UI is not at all finalized.
