PS is terrible for web design, and guess who spotted that? The makers of Sketch (Hey Extensis? Where’s the Sketch plugin?). When Adobe dropped my beloved web design tool, it forced everyone into Photoshop. Like Extensis, the lengths they go to to ignore their user community are superhuman.īut Fireworks? This is where Extensis really needs to pay attention. This is where my contempt for Adobe was born. But, in the end it was killed off and we had to make due with AI. Those of us in the Freehand community at the time viewed it as an anti-trust thing, as there were really no other viable alternatives to Freehand and Illustrator. There was a case to be made for dropping Freehand: It was a direct competitor to Illustrator. Or worse, create new competitors these Goliaths never saw coming. I bring up these corporate decisions to kill off, or handicap products to illustrate what happens when a company stops paying attention to its users and, in the end, lose customers to the competition. And who can forgot the hubris of QarkXpress in the late ’90s? ()
Now they’ve kicked Muse to the curb (not that I care about Muse). We’ve seen Adobe abandon Freehand and Fireworks after the Macromedia acquisition. We saw the same thing with Extensis’ Portfolio (now strictly an enterprise offering). Read on…Īfter reverting back to 7 and keeping a watchful eye on this forum for Extensis to set things right, it appears Suitcase in whole, or as a single-user product, may be coming to the end of its life. And after months and months of inaction, what other conclusion can be drawn?īear with me, I have a lot to get off my chest. I hope it helps save somebody from Suitcase…Ī common thread in the forums is the observation that Extensis doesn’t seem to know how the community uses their software. I have saved this post I made to the Suitcase forum. If you’re looking for a font manager, don’t invest in Suitcase Fusion 8. Floating Previews hover over all other applicationsĪs Extensis recently wiped out the user forums, there’s no central place for users or potential customers to get help from the community or to warn of the perils of upgrading to version 8.

And the few times I've had a product related question they've responded within a day or so and were very kind and courteous. Linotype seems to of built a great program in FEX. So I can't compare how it performs compared to the new FEX. Which it was the only professional font manager that allowed sets, font activation and auto activation. The last time I used it was Suitcase for Windows on XP. I haven't used Suitcase in several years. But through the end of February they are offering it at 50% off which makes it around $40 which isn't bad, especially compared to Suitcase. I'm a bit disappointed that this new version is no longer free. I haven't had time to put it to a real test yet.

I have downloaded the trial for the new version and the interface has been refreshed which is nice.

THat has been fixed in the new non-free Pro ver 2. The only problem I had is that it didn't support auto-activation of fonts in CS4. I've used the previous Font Explorer X 1.23 since about May of 08.
