Printer's Apprentice is under constant development by the staff at Lose Your Mind Development. When designing Printer's Apprentice 8.0, we wanted to make sure that the code base would serve as a solid foundation for future enhancements. Listed below are features that we are looking to add for future versions.

If there are any other features you would like to see added to Printer's Apprentice, please let us know by sending an email to helpdesk@loseyourmind.com.

• Improved treeview control for the Font Files and Font Groups tab.
  The treeview on the Font Files tab does not expose the users Desktop as the top level item.
• "Leave fonts here option" for installing Font Groups.
  In the current version, fonts installed from font groups are always copied to the c:\windows\fonts folder. With fonts installed from the "Font Files" tab, you can opt to leave fonts in their current folder when installed. We need to add this feature to the Font Groups tab.
• Unicode character set support.
  The Windows Character Map application has it. Printer's Apprentice should too.
• Improved setup application.
  The setup and deployment options in Visual Studio 2005 are not very flexible and don't allow for desktop icons, uninstall entries in the user's Start Menu or "run after install."
• Code signing for the executable file.
  This will improve the launch experience on Windows Vista. And the executable won't be labeled as an application with an "unknown publisher."  Code signature added with PA 8.0 Beta #18.
• Better Clipboard support
  The Edit amp; Copy function in Printer's Apprentice copies formatted text to the clipboard in HTML and plain text formats. We need to add Rich Text Format (RTF) so more applications recognize the formatting when pasting.   RTF support added in PA 8.0 Beta #16.
