Hello Eric

Is there a spy-tool in X5 that we users is not aware of?

How con you tell that the zoom-function is only used by few??????????

In older projects I use the function. You can use it to create a kind of Ken Burns effect. Really nice function.

In older versions of the gallery-object there also was a function where you could specify which images should be shown on specific pages. Very useful when the object was used in the header.

Do you have a plan that as time goes, then function after function will be removed? And then there will only be paid-for-objects that each has some of the functionality - but not too many.

And again: I have never seen a user-survey from INCOMEDIA where they ask how we users use X5 and what is good and what is bad in the product, so how can you know what function we use in the product and which functions/settings we use in the objects?

Good Morning Eric,

I concur with John S. that this is a bit disconcerting to learn via sureptitious removal instead of, perhaps, asking actual users of your software if this (or any) feature is being used. Because of this removal, my website no longer works as I'd designed and I now have to redesign it to get a similar effect (hopefully). I've been using your software for many years and have upgraded each year to adopt new features and plugins that I find useful. However, given that features are being removed based on inhousse decisions without any notice to your users/developers, it leaves me to ponder looking at another product to do my design that will offer more revisional stability. I ask that your deveopment team reconsider this feature and add it back in via patch update. Also - I"d also liek to see a product survey to inquire about features used and perhaps new desired features. This would give your team a development direction that will keep your customers loyal to your product. With customer satisfaction and support taking a downward trend these days, bucking that trend will offer a better opportunity to retain customers and develop new ones through referrals and positive social media feedback. 

Hello Dave,
I can of course understand  the inconvenience if it was an effect commonly used on your website in various pages.
I will report your feedback.

Eric

@Eric C.

How did you find that the feature is used by only few users?

On which background did you decide to remove it?

Eric - not everyone posts their website samples in your gallery. I've created many and never posted them there. Never thought there'd be a need to. Appreciate you pushing this feedback up the chain and have them give serious consideration on restiring that feature. Also - I suspect many of us who use your product would be happy to provide ample feedback on current-use features as well as any new features to consider for future releases. I understand the need to stay with "trends", but to break the backward compatibility of your product by removing features is so "Microsoft" ....

Eric, anche io ho decine di siti web NON pubblicati nella vostra galleria, è un modo davvero anomalo quello usato da Incomedia per trarre conclusioni sull'uso di un effetto da parte degli utenti... Mah, rimango sempre più basito... fortuna che ormai uso Website X5 solo per lavori marginali e di poco conto.
