Today we did a major update of Gliffy Online. Gliffy Online now requires the Flash Player 9 to run. This upgrade now gives Gliffy greater performance and usability. We’ve seen at least a double in performance gain in many key areas of the application. The upgrade to Flash Player 9 also helps us to continue to focus on improving the quality of Gliffy Online. Already, significant enhancements have been made in this release that include an improved zoom feature, right-click options, easier page navigation and better usability with shape drag and drop.
Additional New Features:
- Improved Zoom – Huge performance boost and accuracy of position
- New Right Click Menu options:
- For shapes: cut, copy, delete, send to front/back, lock
- For lines: cut, copy, delete
- For the page: Paste at mouse position and zoom levels
- Shortcut Key: CTRL + + to Zoom In and CTRL + – to zoom out
- Enable Zoom with CTRL+Mouse-wheel
- Workspace automatically scrolls when drag objects outside of parameters of screen
- Have page scroll when moving shape beyond viewable boundaries
- Ability to scroll page with arrow keys
- Position text below uploaded images, as default
- Enable scroll wheel for zooming and scrolling page.
- Shift + Drag when rotating makes rotation work in 15 degree increments.
- Swimlane stencils added to Flowchart shapes.
- Swimlane stencils added to UML Shapes.
- List shortcuts in a quick list window – Click on the Help button on the top right of Gliffy to see a list of shortcuts

HAPPY DRAWING!
That’s very exciting! Thanks for the feedback about the experience of moving to swf9, the platform group at OpenLaszlo, we love to hear about it! We’re working on some of the memory/performance issues in the swf9 (and 10) compiler, you may be able to test some of these changes in the upcoming release.
Nice! It is clearly faster PLUS the mac shortcuts all work properly! Nice work!
