This is a short html5 video (with sound) of me customizing one menubar and one toolbar shortcut in forthcoming BlueGriffon 1.3

A present for Charles McCathieNevile
17:33 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 6 comments
Charles McCathieNevile (aka chaals, Chief Standards Officer of Opera) pinged me a while ago because he wanted to create his own keyboard shortcuts inside BlueGriffon. As far as I know, such a feature is extremely rare in the Mozilla xulrunner-based world. But I agreed it was a legitimate request in an editing environment...
I'm almost done. There will in version 1.3 of BlueGriffon a new preference panel allowing to tweak all keyboard shortcuts, add a shortcut to a menu item or toolbar item having no shortcut yet, delete an existing shortcut. On Mac, it's a bit more complex than on Windows and Linux because of the hidden window and the OS X-managed toolbar. But it already works.
I have to iron a bit things, handle persistency across sessions (a non issue, really), localize properly all strings and messages through entities and properties and it will hit a subversion repository near you. Possibly a first in the Mozilla world.
Now chaals, happy ?

BlueGriffon and Asian Text
16:23 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - one comment
I'm currently working on the content serializer of Gecko and the layer living above it in BlueGriffon to solve a big issue Asian text authors have with BlueGriffon: the current version wraps the contents of the source view by default, something that is not acceptable for some asian writing scripts. I'm almost done and it's about to land on the trunk. The new Preferences panel will show:

For the time being, the languages exclusion pref looks at the document's language. I am currently hacking the serializer to let it use that preference on a per-element basis, meaning you will be able to wrap the source of a document in english letting for instance the japanese prose (tagged as such with a lang or xml:lang attribute) unwrapped

EyeDropper add-on
09:44 - By BlueGriffon - Progress
Web developers like ColorZilla. ColorZilla is great, really great. But it has one issue: it's able to pick a color only inside the browser window, not anywhere on the screen or even the multiple screens you have. Since designers work with multiple types of sources, it is often necessary to get a color from outside the browser window and in that case ColorZilla can't help...
I was not really fond of writing a ColorZilla-like add-on for BlueGriffon myself since Mac OS X has /Applications/Utilities/DigitalColor\ Meter.app and my primary platform is OS X... But then I got an interesting message from a BlueGriffon user containing good, even very good I must say, arguments in favor of such an add-on. So I spent a few hours (roughly three) on it and here is the result. Honestly I already like it. It's not ironed yet and works only on OS X for the time being but the screenshot below will show you the best part of it : it works anywhere on all screens attached to your computer (see the crosshair cursor in the BlueGriffonEpubEdition icon on OS X desktop) ...

I think I can also make it work on Windows and Linux. And of course, it will be well integrated with the colorpicker in BlueGriffon. Stay tuned 
Update: the add-on now adds a new EyeDropper button to the color picker and is fully functional on OS X, Linux and Windows. Yay ! Will be released with forthcoming BlueGriffon 1.2.

BlueGriffon EPUB Edition
12:22 - By BlueGriffon - Announcements - 5 comments
Our wysiwyg HTML/CSS/SVG/MathML editor Bluegriffon will have a sibling!
Our company Disruptive Innovations together with friend Innovimax will release in a near future a new native EPUB wysiwyg editor on the market, BlueGriffon EPUB Edition. It will be commercial, standalone (ie not a webapp), based on the open-source BlueGriffon. Unlike most existing solutions on the market, it will not rely on a private pivot format. While most other tools can only do "Export to EPUB", BlueGriffon EPUB Edition will open EPUBs, create EPUBs, save EPUBs. Do whatever you want with the metadata or the contents. Add, modify or remove documents, images, stylesheets, media files, fonts, everything. It will be simple, powerful, and strictly conformant to W3C and IDPF standards.
As you can judge from the screenshot below, we're moving fast... Stay tuned!
