Rody Bosch suggested:
It would be helpful to have the ability to add (hide-able) notes to a symbol. In this manner a flowchart can contain more information that does not make the flowchart crowded or describe the function in the symbol more elaborately.

Also width and height values can resize at the same time.

Horrible inertia in editor

Nash Bridges suggested:
Ubuntu 10.10, Flash 11.1.102.55, latest Chrome/Firefox Any object when captured with a mouse is moving towards cursor with a significant delay. This makes editing completely unusable. Any suggestions? Do you plan to use canvas instead of flash? :)

Label for connector arrows [updated]

2012-01-18T08:33:34-08:00

I noticed that there are arrows available that have a label attached, but I was unable to connect those arrows to other objects. It would be great if you could double click an arrow that is connected to two objects and type in a label that would show up in the middle of the arrow. Similar to what is available but have it still connect (link) the objects together.

Shane said:

Yes, please make this happen! Very fundamental feature please!

Problem with Font Choices

2012-01-15T14:30:33-08:00

Nazaca suggested:
There is a problem i keep facing in my work flow with Cacoo. I create a text box, and I choose the font and size in the Text Inspector panel, BUT when I click create a cursor and begin typing the font automatically resets to Arial font at 10pt. These seems to be Cacoo's favorite font and size, Because I have to type in this font ant size first, then highlight and reset the font to my desired font and size. Please fix this. I know it can not be meant to work this way

Inputs with labels

2012-01-08T08:31:30-08:00

Yassine Chaouche suggested:
There should be two widgets for each input : one with a label, and one without it. At the moment, to add an label to an input one would add a text object and then group it with the desired input. He would ungroup them each time he wants to change anything to it. It would be nice to have inputs with labels already attached to them, with an option to remove them if one changes his mind and doesen't want to delete it and take a sole input widget.

Can we type traditional Chinese by local OS IME? [updated]

Layering [updated]

2012-01-02T15:48:27-08:00

Bring in the layering concept similar to Photoshop so that these layers can be reused.

Stephen M said:

Mark, I agree with you 100%. We have several user roles interacting with our wireframes.

1. Our consultants and designers work on the wireframe (master layer).
2. Our clients and consultants need to be able to add comments (comment layer).
3. Our engineers need to be able to define css selectors (CSS layer).

Would be great to be able to add these either to a specific sheet or across all sheets in a diagram. Each user could then choose to display any of the layers they wish. A future version might consider adding access control to the layers, but that's not important to me for the first round.

Create links between wireframes [updated]

2012-01-02T15:41:45-08:00

It would be really useful to be able to link wireframes on buttons or other objects within them, so you can click through their workflow

Stephen M said:

We're currently using this feature in our other wireframe tool and is essential for prototyping.

"Mind map" mode, creating linked child, sibling nodes [updated]

2011-12-28T02:04:34-08:00

As brilliant as Cacoo is, people looking to create mind maps or concept maps may be overwhelmed. I suggest as simple "mind map" mode, which would allow: * Single click creation of new (child or sibling) node * New nodes automatically linked * Links can be labled (this is already requested elsewhere) The current workaround is ctrl+drag cloning, but this requires replacing the text, and doesn't automatically provide any kind of hierarchy.

Tom Byrer said:

Adding mind mapping will allow me to use a minimum of diagramming apps!

Full UML support [updated]

2011-12-28T02:02:27-08:00

It would be really good if we could add in a bit more support for the UML standards. There are plenty of objects and capabilities missing (interface, extends use case, etc) and this is really important if we are going to use it in my company as a collaborative design tool.

Tom Byrer said:

UML is needed for me to use any diagram for "Pro" use.

Edit mode should have a link to the diagrams list

2011-12-27T04:40:37-08:00

billerr suggested:
Right now, if you close the main page with the list of diagrams, there is no way to navigate back to it from an editing page. Clicking the Cacoo logo (that curently only shows an "about" popup) should open a new tab with the Cacoo main page, intuitively.

Insert behavior when editing text

2011-12-25T07:44:13-08:00

bluesman80 suggested:
When editing a text inside an object, system behaves like the insert function is off and everything I wrote before gets overwritten by the new text I enter. This function either should be adjustable or we should be able to insert text without overwriting the old text.

A spellchecker would be great

Vertical/horizontal lines [is now completed]

2011-12-15T18:34:41-08:00

Make lines snap to vertical/horizontal when they are out by a pixel or two! Sometimes two connection points will never line up exactly (due to different sized shapes, e.g. after grouping) and then it's IMPOSSIBLE to connect them by an absolutely vertical and horizontal line. Visio has this problem, which is why I preferred using Cacoo - until you came out of beta. It is possibly the most frustrating aspect of ANY drawing tool I have ever used. Please please please fix it.

Vertical/horizontal lines [updated]

Cacoo ignores my keyboard layout

2011-12-11T19:15:38-08:00

Jeff Meyers suggested:
With my computer using the Dvorak keyboard layout, Cacoo zooms when I hit what would normally represent Ctrl+V, instead of pasting. Preferable behavior would be to recognize that my keyboard layout is different, and allow me to use the shortcuts I'm used to using. In Dvorak, Ctrl+V is Ctrl+[Period key] This is using Chrome 15.0.8 on OS X Lion 10.7.2.

Dorian Cussen suggested:
It would be nice to expand commonly used 'inspector' elements. For example, it bugs me that i have to click the drop down every time i want to change the connector type. Maybe could have a context sensitive section or box so if i click on a connector, it will show me (not hidden in dropdown) the different types and i can quickly select!

960 grid support [updated]

2011-11-27T03:45:19-08:00

Have 960 grid overlay (12 column and 16 column) that will allow designers who use the 960 framework to mock wireframes in the same dimensions that they will eventually use to code html/css in. For more info re: 960 grid see: http://960.gs/ A competing product currently offers this feature: http://produle.posterous.com/mockflow-update-introducing-overlaid-mesh-gri

Page froze upon save [updated]

2011-11-08T09:59:00-08:00

The page got stuck saving. After I finally closed out of the window, I re-opened Cacoo and found that it had lost all of my changes. This is completely unacceptable if you expect people to take this tool seriously.

Anonymous said:

I have a similar problem. It seems that the connection times out after a while, and when you try to save it just says you are offline and there is no way to reactivate the session and save changes! What a HUGE waste of my time!! This is ridiculous and this thing shouldn't even be in alpha if they don't know how to handle session state and implement auto-save options.

I was pretty impressed until this experience.

IPad version [updated]

This tool seems perfect for being used on an iPad. I'd really like to have it. Please bring this to the AppStore!
