[Hopperxx] Director 12 reviews?

[Paul Schwarz]

I've been using it for a few months. Here are some observations:

1) iOS publishing is really great. Once you get it working, most things work really well, and the performance is very good. There are some gotchas - ALWAYS back up your complete code tree before publishing, because it will corrupt the source files on occasion. But overall it's a terrific addition to the publishing options.

2) It's fairly stable on Windows, but still crashes 5 times daily for me. On OS X, it's really annoying, and sometimes just saving a file takes a few minutes. But you need the OS X version in order to publish to iOS, so I end up doing most dev on Windows, and then publishing on OS X to test.

3) There are a lot of small bugs and annoyances during authoring, but the projectors and iOS .ipas seem to be very stable.

Overall I'm thrilled Adobe has kept Director alive, and I'm excited to see the next releases that we've been told are coming this year.
