HelpbookCreator ReviewNot bad for a version 1.2 - Version: 1.2, 9/16/2007 10:57PM PST

Handy for how quick and easy it links all your pages together. The insert table tool is nice and easy to use, just drag the cells to resize them. It's been since February since the last release, so I hope the developer hasn't been distracted by other things...

HelpbookCreator ReviewPromising, but... - Version: 1.2, 2/21/2007 08:35AM PST

Very confusing without (ironically) a good helpbook of its own. Took me a few minutes to figure out that you have to click "Add Localization" before you can do anything else. It seems to me that when you create a new helpbook, an assistant should appear where you'd enter the first localization (it should default to the current language for the system), the application name (so default pages don't all have to be changed from "MyApplication" individually), and then the other properties found in the (unnamed) drawer.

A huge issue is that the "Save" command is never active so the only way to save your work is to (unintuitively) close the document you are working on and let the app then prompt you to save your work.

I added several pages and while "Start Point" pages appear fine, where do the "Help Topic" pages get linked? How do I manually link pages to, say, the index page? There are a lot of other minor nitpicks (it doesn't encode high-ASCII entities, etc.), but it is promising (it has potential for being great) and, of course the price can't be beat.

Hopefully the author will take these comments in the spirit they were intended: as constructive criticism to help a good idea become a good product.

I used it only for some minutes still now, but i was impressed by the clean concept and the idea itself: BRAVO Robin (..also.. heißt du eigentlich wirklich Robin Mascue?) FOR NOW (and to take your word ;-) ) I put a full 5 stars.. 'to open the auction' :-)
