New release of XPS Workbench (v0.2.0)
I've put a new technology preview of my XPS Workbench tool on-line. Go get it!
A lot of changes since last release:
-I experimented a lot with different ui models, and settled for the familiar 'document in a seperate window' model, with the tools as floating palettes. So a heavily reworked ui, but the application really feels better now.
-Inspector: look at your xps files, the docs inside and the pages -- with thumbnails for package and docs. The core properties are shown too, if available.
-Merger: merge documents in one package - really fast, and it generates compact files.
-Extracter: already available in the previous release, but now plugged in the new ui.
-Load/Save semantics: merged docs are new, which you can or cannot save, etc...
I refreshed my main site too, which has a support section for small howto's, tutorials and a faq. I'm planning on adding some content the coming days.
As always: give it a spin and do not hesitate to contact me for feedback/bugs/... ¶ 23:12
