[UPDATE] – 27/08/08 (19.46pm GMT)
LateNightSoft has announced it’s 1.3 update of Sketches is now in review and should be available soon.
This update is said to bring the following new features to Sketches:
– Text input
– Web Sharing
– Easily locate shapes (New Algorithm)
– New ‘Office Items’
– Tip system
– Bug Fixes and Optimisation
[UPDATE] – 01/08/08
I recently e-mailed LateNightSoft to notify them of the usage of material they own the copyright for, within this article.
The response I got back included information of future planned features!
“… Many thanks for letting us know, and for calling our attention about such a thorough review of our application! We’ve put a lot of effort into Sketches and feel proud and happy whenever we know people like it. The suggested features in the final section of your article are very interesting. I can confirm that we are now working on the ability to export to e-mail, so you can expect that in a future release. It hasn’t been available yet because Apple has not yet released an approved way to send an email with attachments from within a third party app. The only feature available in the official SDK is to launch the Mail application, but this would mean quitting Sketches AND losing the attachment data, so we have no option but to create our own mail delivery interface. It is not an optimal solution (it will look different than Apple’s Mail application; we won’t be able to automatically retrieve your mail account configuration from the system), but we hope it will get the job done.
Other features we are working on right now are the ability to enter text using the on-screen virtual keyboard, and an eraser tool. Many other ideas are planned for future releases, I hope you like them!”
Thanks again!
