    Some feature requests

    That far Koolmoves has been pretty incredible for building my project's website but few things have been pretty time consuming.
    With the action script support, Koolmoves is *close* to perfection.

    The most time consuming task with Koolmoves is to keep size consistent for several shapes: eg layering shapes and making them the same size, getting straight lines on the shapes. Everything worked perfectly while I had the snap to grid but after, I did not find a consistent way to edit :-(

    * better snap to grid: I wish the snap to grid could work for all items: when resizing a shape, the points are not snapping to the grid + snap to grid with invisible grid would be great
    * also after copying a shape, the copy is not snapping to grid the same way: the anchor seems to have changed
    * better way to select shapes: I have a page with several shapes layered on top of each others and I have a hard time selecting only one point of one shape
    * copy a frame without duplicating the shapes: that far I did not find out how to copy and paste a frame without duplicating the shapes
    * set a shape position for all frames: if you move the shape in one frame, even with the option to apply changes to "all frames" the position of the first edited frame stays different.
    * I had several crashes: after saving a project, and on resizing the movie frame toolbox.

    -> I'll just address this one now. Running KoolMoves alone without other large applications open almost always solves this problem.

    I have to say the crash issue is in the bottom of my feature request list... I know how to deal with it but is there some chance to see improvements in the other fields?
    Some editing functions are really tough...

    I have no problem with the crashing problem.
    But like selceting different pionts and stuff on different layers when the shapes are right by each other is a big problem.

    -> you are right, snapping to grid does not work on resizing

    * also after copying a shape, the copy is not snapping to grid the same way: the anchor seems to have changed

    -> I'll look at this

    * better way to select shapes: I have a page with several shapes layered on top of each others and I have a hard time selecting only one point of one shape

    -> there are several ways -- select the shape and then select the points selection arrow or select shapes in the way and enter control H to hide these shapes

    * copy a frame without duplicating the shapes: that far I did not find out how to copy and paste a frame without duplicating the shapes

    -> I don't understand this. If you copy a frame you copy what the frame is composed of. What do you want to happen if you copy a frame?

    * set a shape position for all frames: if you move the shape in one frame, even with the option to apply changes to "all frames" the position of the first edited frame stays different.

    -> use Transforms > Numeric to set a position in all frames
