    allow for real time collaboration on diagrams

    Can we have real time collaboration on diagrams. I saw some mention of this on your twitter or something. Hows that going?

    Status: planned

    We've been experimenting with real time collab internally and its working fine. But we currently have important features that we need to deliver before getting real time out to you.
    If you think Real TIme is what you want- Vote me and tell us why.

    export to EPS format or non-rasterized PDF

    EPS is commonly used for images in LaTeX publications. The exported PDFs seem sort of low quality, so it would be better to export in a vector format.

    Custom objects

    It would be nice if you could have your own page with custom objects. You could then easily make a composite out of other objects. Just right click an object / group you made and make it a template. This would then be added to your custom objects page.

    Provide API

    I would recommend an API for this great tool:
    - capability to export diagrams
    - capability to import diagrams
    - delete diagrams
    - share/unshare
    etc.

    Status: planned

    We've started work on a new API.

    Create a viewer for diagrams that can be embedded - important to be able to have clickable links!

    Bloggers, academics, consultants could then embed the viewer into their website and user could navigate complex flow charts by clicking on links. The links could direct user to related charts/diagram or to external content.

    have object property box

    so that it's possible to specify dimensions for UI screens and see if the proposed interface is realistic or completely off in terms of what can fit.

    Address book of collaborators and groups

    To ease sharing between a large number of collaborators. Instead of keying in every time the email addresses, the "share" text box should also auto complete individual or group name.

    Status: planned

    Thanks for your suggestion. This is definitely on the plan for the next release.

    Self-hosted solution like Funambol

    Working in a reasonably large company where documents are treated confidentially; not all have access to the WWW; etc. I suggest a package offering from you to companies whereby you deploy Creately for that company on its servers for their use alone. This will also provide you with a huge market

    when timeout with multiple documents open only require single login to continue

    login after timeout with multiple documents open requires login to each document to continue. How about making that a single login?

    Status: under review

    Hi thanks for your suggestion - we have tested this and cannot seem to recreate it for the Windows and Mac platform. What platform are you on? We'd be grateful if you could provide any details on your Operating System, Internet Browser and Flash player.

    The logout window only appears once and should not appear in multiple tabs of your diagram. Let us know if anyone else experiences this issue.

    Cheers

    Add functionality to backup locally

    Would ease my mind that I can stuff up on your site and delete my projects.

    iPad Application?

    Are there any plans for an iPad Application?

    Status: under review

    Unfortunately not at the moment as Apple wont let us deploy Flash based applications on its platform. In the longer term, we expect to have a solution that will work on Apple's products as well.

    Add half arrowheads

    It would be useful for drawing chemistry mechanisms. I imagine it would be a fairly simple add.

    Status: under review

    Hi there and thanks for your suggestion. A quick question on these half-arrows - should they be more useful as a shape in the object library which you can drag and drop onto the diagram or as Connectors that you can add from the contextual toolbar?

    We'd we happy to add this once we can better understand how you would prefer to use it.

    Cheers

    Text objects with other objects and move them together.

    When I create a text object and I group it inside a browser object and move the browser object, the text object doesn't move.

    Revision information and history in right hand pane

    Placing information on revisions, and the ability to access revisions, in the right hand pane for the current diagram. Currently this can only be found on the 'open diagram' screen.
