Re: Zing!

I've never heard of a .pxm file before. Could you just upload the .image?

Zing! FAQ:
Why can't I download Zing yet?
It's not done.  smile  I'm still trying to finish up some of the files and such, but it'll be out on October 10.

Anyway, this mod sound cool. I can't wait for it to be released!

Re: Zing!

Wow! This actually looks professional, like to the point of Panther or BYOB! So downloading when it's finished.


Yawn, another boring text signature. I should really make something better.

I'm guessing it's for every platform including linux if the image file can be distributed separately.

If you're wondering why it's a pxm file it's because the software will be released tomorrow.

By the way, i'm really looking forward to it -- the collapsable scripts seem like a really good idea!

bigreader didn't do anything wrong, unless he didn't give credit. Jens put the code up like he did with the Frequency reporter (I think it was frequency)

Thanks! Yep, it's not quite done yet. I put up that .pxm (from Pixelmator) file just to test the file system on Weebly, and never bothered to take it down.

It will be.  smile  I use a Mac, so I'm sharing the Mac version first. I'll make a Windows version too, though - don't worry.

Sorry about the conversion blocks - I thought they so helpful, it was a wonder nobody had thought of them before. Oops.

I'm giving credit on my site - see my FAQs. Also, remember, there's an awful lot of features in Zing - not all of them are completely my idea, though I didn't steal anything.

Nope. It's not anything of importance - it's the Zing logo in that format.
