I don't understand why GS don't intefrate theese simple things directly in their product,

 

It's like giving your wife a rose, it's simple, but it means a lot and make her happy for months haha

So just after trying it out for a day I can conclude that having layer visibility control through a palette is as useful as anyone wishing for it anticipated and the combined folder-item tree view also makes folders useful. This must surely be one of the highest returns of development in terms of efficiency and it is really frustrating that GS didn't manage to deliver it through the attribute manager - but hey at least they agree that it is a good idea! This kind of basic functionality isn't something that should have to be handled with add-ons at additional cost for the user. I have no issue paying add-on developers for their services (and this one is a done deal) but its not like it will be discounted by GS in their pricing...

Wow, really puts GS to shame. For years we hear the lame "oh we don't have the resources for that" non-excuse while giving us tons of stuff nobody wanted or had ever asked for, and a little third-party dev comes and does all the stuff we wanted... Incredible.

But that happens when you give 90% of your budget to marketing, only to wonder why nobody is buying your product anymore.

Just one relase where we get nothing else but all of these things from bimdots would imho be the best release in 5+ years.

«Furthermore, I consider that Carth... yearly releases must be destroyed»

This might sound funny,but I feel I found a reason to update to 28......Buying all the addons by bimdots, the new ArchiquantPlus by Fermat,and 28 sounds like sending an old mercedes to Brabus to get 200hp more!

 

 

I have to admit Design Options was really a great addition. It instantly changed my workflow and the speed and control of creating several scenarios. I don't want to sound ungrateful
