How do I draft folks?

How do I draft someone new?

Search is coming. PT 2.0 is on its way.

Matthew Smith replied on November 27, 2009 14:03 to the idea "Provide an API" in Pattern Tap:

We have an API, and in PT 2.0 we'll likely publish it so that others can build on what we've started :)

Why didn't I think of Dribbble?!

I'm absolutely freaking LOVING Dribbble. Thanks Dan. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" kind of things. Well done.

Great idea. When we build the new PT it will be much easier to recommend collections among other things :)

Peter what should I request that Dropbox support in order to get this working? thanks for your help :))

Matthew Smith replied on October 30, 2009 15:56 to the question "what website does the screenshot come from?" in Pattern Tap:

In the individual image page, you can see the source by clicking on the tab above the image. This UI needs to be improved :)

Matthew Smith replied on October 28, 2009 15:25 to the problem "You need a search bar!" in Pattern Tap:

Try a google search. The new Pattern Tap is coming, I promise ;) - It takes a lot of work to do this as a one man show, so please be patient :)))

Thanks Ian.

Matthew Smith replied on October 13, 2009 14:51 to the problem "Contribute form is hard to use" in Pattern Tap:

Wow. Great feedback! I'll make sure to add this to the issues on the table for Pattern Tap 2.0

Hi Ian,
Great insight :)

I'd be curious to know what you find rubbish. Right now, I'm the only moderator. I can garauntee you that there is no gaming or nepotism, I actually find that sort of laughable, but hey :P

Either way, Pattern Tap is in much need of upgrading. Its a one man project, and I'm a busy boy, so its been sitting there just being used and enjoyed as is, but we need help from folks like you!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to add that into the PT2 list.

Any other thoughts?

A note to say that my font file syncing did not work afterall, and thankfully I've backed up. So, yes, you should continue to warn all users NOT to sync until Dropbox supports resource forks :)

Thanks for the prompt responses.

(edit, figured out that last issue)

Matthew Smith replied on October 05, 2009 10:47 to the question "Question about sync between multiple macs & font activation" in Bohemian Coding:

Pieter, would you consider adding support for changing the location of the vault file in the preferences? This is what the application 1Password does in order to make syncing a more fluid process.

I was able to sync using dropbox, and sym links. I get no 0kb files. The activation on both accounts isn't happening, but isn't necessary for me.

Write if you have questions about how I was able to do it. Its a fairly simple process once you have all the necessary pieces put together.

Matthew Smith replied on October 02, 2009 15:24 to the question "Question about sync between multiple macs & font activation" in Bohemian Coding:

Pieter, do you know of any tutorial specific to doing this? I tried to create a symbolic link and move the entire fontcase folder (app support/fontcase/) into my dropbox. This made fontcase think that that it was starting over, and believe the was no vault at all.

Any thoughts? I know you don't support dropbox, so I'm just hoping you can point me in the right direction :)

I don't need activation syncing. Just file syncing.

Oh la la! Indeed it does work!

Matthew Smith replied on September 24, 2009 13:28 to the question "What determines a preview?" in Bohemian Coding:

I too, would love this kind of feature, though I imagine its low on the priority list :)

Matthew Smith replied on September 23, 2009 01:11 to the problem "Why when I activate a family of fonts do only 2 variations show up in illustrator?!!" in Bohemian Coding:

I'm not positive, but I believe that's not an issue to do with FontCase, but rather with the font file itself. I believe it may be improperly "hinted", or its possible that its an adobe conflict. I experience this same problem in photoshop regularly.

Matthew Smith asked a question in Bohemian Coding on September 08, 2009 14:11:

List View Bugs

If the list view is selected and I open the family tree, if I activate a font in the family, the tree closes, so that I have to open it again if I want to activate more fonts in the family. Very frustrating :(
