RapidWeaver 9 Wishlist, what do you want to see?

A separate option for adding to sitemap. Right now if you “remove” a page from navigation, it removes it from the sitemap.

Quite often you don’t want a page in the general navigation (links in a footer as an example) but still want it in the sitemap.

Provide a “print” function to print a Project’s information for documentation: e.g. site map, list of pages and sub-pages, list of stacks, partials and theme used in a page etc.

How about optional SMTP support for the contact form page style?

This is a great idea! To Adam’s credit, he probably referring to this thread. Without SMTP, receiving mail servers are treating the RW contact form as spam. Two people have hit it this week.

The costs I totally agree with.

Make it more stable; RW8 crashes consistantly if cmdZ is used, well for me today, just flitting through Firefox and RW8 in preview mode has caused it to crash half a dozen times.

This has been mentioned before, but the biggest one for me is compatibility with older versions of MacOS, at least back to 10.13. So far, that’s the case, but as Apple continues to complicate things, this may become an issue everywhere.

With every new version of RW I dream of less emphasis on new features and more on squashing bugs and improving performance. Will that ever happen?

That’s one of our goals for RW9. Expect small on the surface changes, with a focus on bug fixes, speed enhancements, and compatibility with macOS 11.

Care to elaborate?

A little more information is available here:

We’ll elaborate as we get closer to launch (or perhaps a semi-public beta for forum members).

Sounds like this is basically going to be another maintenance release. I was really hoping for some real innovation this time around. Like Big Sur is doing. Tons underneath but plenty of new and creative functionality.

Sorry if this sounds like a Negative Nancy comment.

Bigger things are coming, but the first big thing will be RW9 + Big Sur + Apple Silicon Support!

Just concerned as we have heard this before.

My wish:

  • Rapidweaver framework has a 12 col frame so we can design using cols (visually or by input)
  • Grid system to populate a premade grid with option like col amount, grid item options etc. + filter options
  • Custom gallery: based on the grid system but focus on image, title and text + lightbox
  • Flexible form system: condition based form system
  • New UI: sharp simplistic icons + simple and slick design without heavy shadows

That would be nice :wink:

“* Could you add the ability to the link dialog to add an anchor point to an internal page?”

Is it so difficult to implement ? I wonder why it still has not been done yet.

Because the link selector doesn’t know about any anchor points (= content) on the page.

Auto Save… Auto Save… Auto Save…

Oh and incase I didn’t mention it

AUTO SAVE!!

Auto Save?
Only if it’s safely implemented.
I’d almost rather not have the auto save unless the stability is addressed first.
