Hello James, this has beed already added in the beta that will became public in a few days I think. More info at beta.websitex5.com. 

Will the beta be stable enough to run?

Hi Steve.  I noticed that the inner popups are gone as well.  I am quite surprised that a lot of the features are missing in version 9.0 when they were in version 8.0.  I hope you are going to bring them back.  I have designed entire websites based on these methods.  I'm quite concerned at the moment as another client of mine has purchased the new version in hopes that he can take over what I have done.  He can't at the moment which is a very bad thing.

Please respond.

Thanks.

Hi James, the beta version normally is better than tha actual version. It is in beta just because of the new features we added. Note that adding new features doesn't mean that we have 'rebuilt' the software at all .

We didn't insert some old features of v8 because we saw that they weren't used by many people or becuase they cannot be implemented on new operating system (ie: OLE 2.0).

Please let me know which are the v8 features you like from v8 that are missing in v9, so I can give you more info.

The two that stood out right away and have to be back in there is cropping images and inner popups in the gallery.  These are extememly important as I have designed websites with these features on them exclusively.  Unless you have other suggestions that I can use.

The crop is already present in the beta we just released. If you want to test it, just subscript to the beta channel at beta.websitex.5.com.
