My wishlist for SCAL2

[karenhester]

I absolutely LOVE using this program -- my Expression sat unused in the box (and I almost sold it) until I decided to purchase SCAL. Now, I'm having so much fun I'm making something new every night!! A couple of things I wish for:

* I wish I could change the default when the program first opens - I always close the font box and the shape box, and then make the mat window larger. I wish I could set it to be like that when I open the program rather than having to change it every time.

* I would like to be able to catagorize my fonts. I know there's a "favorites", but I'd like to be able to have several different folders to group my fonts.

* I'd like to be able to hide or delete fonts from SCAL without having to delete them from my system.

* Finally, I'd like to be able to work on designing another project while the current one is cutting. But on the other hand, this forces me to get up and do something else while I wait...or else I'd really never leave my machine!

The only other problem I'm having is that the program freezes A LOT!! It seems to especially happen when I'm moving things around on the mat. Any ideas why, or any solutions I could try? Thanks!

karen,
You can save your workspace! Arrange everything like you like it and then go to WIndow>Workspace>Save Workspace.
I have saved one for my laptop and one for using an external monitor.

Thanks for the tip Karen!

I wish that when you shadowed fonts you didn't get the funny angles on the corners. seems to happen with boxy fonts like brittanic bold.
