First Release of XULPIX

I have been developing a UI Designer for XUL applications.
You can design xul interface visually by modifying DOM tree.
A simple demo is below.

I was looking for XUL Visual Editor
and found XULPIX. Play several days. It's the best XUL editor I've ever seen! Thank you, I will spread the word about it.

How I can report bugs? Do you plan to setup issue tracker? It's not clear - what licence is used?

To the moment I've found the following:

1. Can't stringbundleset and commandset to overlay.
2. Delete command is missed. I use Cut as workaround :)

I can fix these issues myself, how I can contribute to XULPIX?

Best regards,
Alexey

Hey Kenchabi,

I tried out XULPIX. I really like it. I duplicated your demo and then some, so I could learn about Google Charts.

However, I am very interested in XUL for simple single minded desktop type applications. And your tool is perfect!

I understand you have moved to Google Code:

http://code.google.com/p/xulgear/

However I have not explored GC and I am not familiar with its methods.

I was hoping to find a current revision but there seems no way to access the code except through "hg" which I do not have and know nothing about.

It would be great if you zipped up a snapshot so it could easily be downloaded.

Also, though I am new to XUL I would be happy to help with this project. For example I would be happy to contribute the "enhanced" (and still enhancing) version of the "Google Chart API" that you showed in your demo. Also, happy to test, provide UI suggestions, code etc.

Thanks for your work so far. I think this is a great tool and you would be doing us all a great service to continue its development.

Thanks
