I'm also trying my hand at creating elements using the element editor, but I have to brush up on my programming a bit, lol. I love that I can use my own scripts if I need to or tweak the css easily using the properties menu.

The code is fine, especially since I haven't had any browser compatibility issues. Other things: The support on the forum is great. I tend to work from scratch anyway, but the templates can be a great starting off point. I figure, if you have to download the program in the first place, you can download a few templates if you need them. I don't have a problem with needing to be online to download templates, etc, nor with the way the templates themselves are downloaded. It's true that you can't simply import existing html pages, but if you have all the images and stuff, it's fairly easy to reproduce most layouts. I haven't really run into any problems with openelement. You can design a basic layout and then invoke it on as many pages as you want. I've saved a lot of time with this wysiwyg editor (and what do you know, it all shows up great in the browser!). I've been using it for a few months and love the features and workflow. I can understand some of the previous reviewers' concerns, but I love this program.
#Bluegriffon review software#
A part of my job is testing and vetting software for users and commence and I see hundreds of them over a week or so, and I can assure you that developers who insist on such arrogant behavior never get past square one–no matter how good the software is.
Also, why aren't the templates offered as a proper separate download (in say the way IrfanView does by bulk-loading its plugins in one file–this would solve the online problem)?įrankly, I'm damn tired of demand-driven software that insists users do things in exactly the way the developer demands. If the developer can't include a default template and a few other samples in a 45MB file then one has to wonder what his actual motives are. The reasons for this ought to be obvious to Blind Freddy. Moreover, in my case (same with my colleagues) the installation of downloaded programs is never done with the net connected for safety reasons (and they can be days–sometimes weeks–apart).
Version still doesn't work offline! Downloading and running are two separate operations, when running the program the user may not have an internet connection (as is often the case with me, usually very deliberately so for obvious reasons).
