		<description><![CDATA[Ladies and gentlemen, the 1.2.0 is out&#8230; the change-log itself looks scary But of course we&#8217;re not sleeping: the 1.2.1 beta1 is already available in the forum, featuring the long awaited Auto-categorization rules. Something useful now: how to get feedback from a trial We&#8217;re fans of the excellent a smart bear blog, and we got inspiration from this article about getting feedback from the users. How did we implement it? How long did it take? What we needed was a way to have a user communicating with us what was wrong with Tabbles, this should have included a list of options with check-boxes as well as a few empty fields to write something into. Coding this into our desktop app would have been a nightmare (open a socket, and write into a remote db making sure that the user&#8217;s firewall wouldn&#8217;t get too angry about it&#8230; ) and it would have been even worst having the thing to run when the user was uninstalling&#8230; Well, our website is based on Joomla, so we thought: why not using joomla to do this? Joomla has a built-in poll, but it&#8217;s pretty limited: only radio buttons, no free-writing field and max 12 questions [...]]]></description>

<div>Well, our website is based on Joomla, so we thought: why not using joomla to do this? Joomla has a built-in poll, but it&#8217;s pretty limited: only radio buttons, no free-writing field and max 12 questions (!). </div>
<div>After a 5  minutes tour in the <a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/">joomla extensions directory</a> I found the excellent <a href="http://www.joomlaxt.com/">PollXT</a> which does exactly what I needed and within 10 mins our <a href="http://tabbles.net/counter/click.php?id=23">poll</a> was online. This looks like the best component I&#8217;ve seen in a while&#8230; it does everything it&#8217;s supposed to (and as you need more, it&#8217;s there already), it&#8217;s stable and very intuitive: A+ to the author! Uh, did I mention that it&#8217;s donationware? <img src='http://tabbles.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>
<div></div>
<div>All we did is calling a custom action on uninstalling, so the uninstaller calls a web page (which opens without ringing any alarm bell) and <a href="http://www.joomlaxt.com/">PollXT</a> does all the rest. </div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><b>P.S.: </b>there is in an interview of me <a href="http://www.entrepreneurship-interviews.com/blog/interview-with-young-entrepreneur-andrea-dintino-from-tabbles/">here</a> <img src='http://tabbles.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new version of Tabbles (1.1.6) is available. You can download it at our web site.</p>
<p>Here are the changes:
<ul>
<li>Due to popular request, a <span style="font-weight: bold;">tabble alignment </span>feature was added. You can choose two alignment modes: <b>auto-alignment</b>, where tabbles are aligned automatically after each drag; and <b>manual alignment</b>, where tabbles are aligned when you press ALT+q.</p>
<p>Auto-alignment is enabled by default. You can find the new alignment functions in the &#8220;misc&#8221; menu.</p>
</li>
<li>You can now <span style="font-weight: bold;">delete tabble colors </span>even if they are being used by some tabbles. This way it is much easier to reduce the number of colors. (And, due to the recent changes, <span style="font-weight: bold;">you are likely to have many more colors than you want</span>.)
</li>
<li>The &#8220;quick-open tabble&#8221; dialog was slightly modified. Now, in the left panel, tabbles are sorted alphabetically and grouped by first letter. (Previously they were grouped by color.)</li>
</ul>
<p>___</p>
<p>We have also planned the <span style="font-weight: bold;">next major feature</span>: we are going to make it possible to <span style="font-weight: bold;">auto-arrange tabbles </span>in many ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>spatial (the current arrangement &#8211; tabbles stay where you put them);</p>
</li>
<li>alphabetical (tabbles are sorted alphabetically);
</li>
<li>recently opened tabbles first,
</li>
<li>recently linked tabbles first,
</li>
<li>frequently opened tabbles first,
</li>
<li>tabbles with more files first;
</li>
<li>group by color,
</li>
<li>group by color name (similar to <span style="font-weight: bold;">category view</span>).</li>
</ul>
<p> The last arrangement will layout tabbles as they used to be in the old &#8220;category view&#8221; (present in previous versions of Tabbles), but in a less invasive way. So, if you used to like category mode and dislike the current spatial arrangement, stay tuned!</p>
