Two Page Spreads; Add Multiple Images; Whole Project View; Organizational Tools

[Jeanne]

Okay here are my suggestions:

• Allow us to see and work on two page spreads (see LumaPix FotoFusion Extreme for an example of how they implemented this feature).
• Allow us to see a view of all the pages at once so we can better see the flow of the project (use thumbnails, like the Walmart Flash-based application) and perhaps also allow us to navigate our pages via those thumbnails.
• Allow us to select and add more than one item at a time - I find navigating to the items I want to include in a project is perhaps the biggest pain if you want to look across kits and types of objects and go to other areas on your hard drive.
• Along with that, allow us to bring up items such as embellishments, backgrounds, etc, by tags. Allow us to add our own tags - because sometimes you just want to be able to see what you have before you make a choice - and you may want to look across kits and even across categories.

In a recent review of the top ten scrapbooking packs of 2011, scrapbook max made the list - congratulations!

However, I'd like to see it make it to the top five - I have quite an investment in it after all these years! It's very open, flexible, affordable, and has great kits and expansion packs. I think the features I suggested would put it over the top - although I realize they probably are not easy to implement.

By the way, if you need help, I'm an out of work programmer as well as a digital scrapbooker!

Hello Jeanne!

I agree for the thumbnails. That'd be very useful when you have a project with multiple pages.

You write:
"Allow us to select and add more than one item at a time".
You can already if you use the drag-and-drop feature from a Windows window... You can select multiple objects and drap and drop them on your design space.

I definitively think that it could be a GREAT ADVANTAGE to have a view on the whole project.
I insist on this point because SBM is enough powerful to deal with dozens of pages inside a same project (file)... I have some projects with more than 60 pages...
We can reorganize the pages. This feature is very useful.
But that'd be helpful to be able to enable a view with all the thumbnails and to click on to load the page in the main window and to reorganize the pages by drag and drog, and rename them with a right click :-)

Would love to be able to work on two page spreads on the same screen. Thinking of switching programs so I can.
