feature requests
As of this post date I am still using version 7, if any of these things have been added or fixed in netobject fusion version 8 I am not yet aware of them.
1. Fix the spell check
2. fix the video plug in to allow greater control over inline play functions, including an auto size that maintains the proper HxW ratio. Also add the other options that windows mediaplayer allows.
3. Assets management should alert to same named files and offer automatic renaming and asset relocation.
4. Automatic full template backup
5. The ability to automatically publish cell phone versions, and higher resloution versions (this should be relatively easy, smaller text and graphics for cell, larger text and graphics for higher res) - this would make netobjects fusion revolutionary if it comes out with netobjects fusion before anyone else does it.
6. A fusion sub version that will allow customers to add / change content to their sites (likemacromedia contribute) - my thinking on this is that a web based application could have secure information set up by webmasters, with a log in for end users to make adjustments by copying pasting into the web browser, or uploading word documents.
7. Copy and paste from word, excell, firefox, and internet explorer, while maintaining formatting of text, or changing formatting of text to be similar at least (preview function would be nice)
8. Text font size changes should be fixed (they do not always work in v7, and have crazy results)
9. Assets view needs a major makeover - it should not redraw the screen and start you at the beginning evertime. Also the mysterious assets that show up in use, but have no page associated with them is always a mystery.
10. Importing templates should be fixed. This IS MAJOR. What a time saver it would be to actually use the feature that has been in fusion for so long, and be able to use it without inflating issues and screwed up assets management. I actually started aproject where sections of a big site were to be exported to several other sites - as of now that project has been put on the back burner
11. The sizes of text and properties boxes should be larger on higher resolution screens; toggleable would be nice.
12. Assets shared with multiple sites. Most web pros that I know end up using the same banners, links, pictures on multiple sites... it would be nice to have the global assets show up for every site rather than having to reinvent the wheel with every site.
13. Default folders, and a list of favorite folders to go to with one click for all of the open file dialogues.
14. Change default options in the phot gallery settings. I hate redoing the same settings over and over again over the 4 pages of options.
15. Options to have the photos open as a file link from the thumbnails instead of always opening on an html page. Also other photo open options like namo web editor has would be nice.
16. Give us complete meta tag control, or we can not produce the best search engine friendly professional web sites.
17. A bold link to a page on netobjects.com and any other fusion sites, and on the online view of fusion tiself to link to a page where known issues are posted. work around tutorials are offered free, a lit of feature requests, and comments from WSP are posted.
18. A better help function that links pages to thier parent pages and related topics.
19. WSP should also buy out the other dozne or so fusion groups and have a global fusion help site, with the most frequently asked problems and solutions published, searchable, and easy to find. The newsgroups are full of great people, but filtering through them, even finding them is a task. Often times the help is hidden behind some reqistration required BS.
20. get with times with xml, php and all the other new web stuff coming out.
21. A discounted full version for those who have been using fusion for more than 3 years.
Ther are also a ton of other great feature requests listed at:

I agree completely with 95% of these, and very much would like to see them made a reality.
I know there are other features I have been cursing about, will post them later...
