New to CL, some thoughts - 2009/01/16 11:29
Hello All,
Just purchased Comic Life for Windows Deluxe after trying it out for a few hours. Prior to that I was using Comic Book Creator, and I have to say CL blows it away, without question.
But, it could be much easier to use.
I'd like to see the following enhancements/bug fixes:
- Have text flow and wrap better in speech/thought ballons. Currently the text crowds the edges, and often will display differently when you export. placing some extra CRs as the PAQ suggests, doesn't work well, somtimes making matters worse, and isn't a valid workaround.
- The application should remember export options with the saved comic file. It's annoying to have to set all the options each time you're exporting.
- Add the ability to set the exported image size when exporting.
- Remember text and lettering font selections within the same comic. So if I close CL and come back to it later, I don't have to set the font all over again for things I've already used. The same would go with the last speech balloon style used, etc.
- Automatic page numbering. Maybe this is already there and I haven't found it yet. But basically allow a Master template so the author can set header and footer options (page numbers, comic book titles, copyright notices, etc) so they appear on all pages.
- When exporting, it's asking for a filename, but it's really asking for a folder name. And if the folder/files already exist, you're not prompted to overwrite anything, the existing stuff just gets blown away, and nothing gets exported. You have to export again (and set all the options again), to get the exported output.
That's all for now, but overall I REALLY like the program!
