- wittjeff 14y agoI was thinking the same thing re the coolness of it, but I don't have enough experience to say anything about novelty. If it is novel, OP's one-year patent clock starts today for the U.S., and the opportunity to patent in the rest of the world is now lost. It wouldn't surprise me if selling that feature to Adobe, Microsoft, or others could pay off more than the proposed (quite cool) app.
- slantyyz 14y agoI suspect that this feature's "pre-announcement" will probably result in "copies" of this feature showing up in other apps, possibly before Enterface itself even reaches general release (assuming it's even in dev).
- 89a 14y agoI find it amusing that you think Adobe would ever implement a feature that useful in their software.
- ErikGelderblom 14y agoFor me, this is the best feature. I've been using Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator and Omnigraffle for ages and none of them have an easy way of finding that one element hidden under 10 other layers. This looks like a great solution.
