    Thanks for this app, I've been using it a lot. The only thing I would request is a button for minimizing the window. It's great it will stay on top of other applications, but I wish it were easier to access the applications running underneath it when I want to. Also a click and drag zoom would be super for when I am using a stylus.

    You can actually double click the top bar and it'll minimize to the bar :poly142:

    Few of us at work here recently grabbed this and love it so far. Biggest features we'd like to see is the ability to make the window transparent and to have more than 1 board open at once. Great work :thumbup:

    Feedback on the most recent version :

    - I think I would prefer it if the top bar of each image (used to move individual images around the board) was located inside the image frame instead of outside. I keep messing up the alignment of my images because of this, and I don't remember running into this problem with earlier versions.

    - I wish there was on option to toggle the always on top behavior on and off ; this option would be located within the popup right-click menu.

    - It would be great to be able to export the board to jpg and/or png at a given total pixel width. That too could be located within the right-click menu.

    - I think the app should automatically save the current board on exit, and reload it on startup. Similarly, the screen position of the app should be remembered from one session to the next.

    Howdy,

    I love the idea of Refboard but the drag and drop doesn't seem to work from Safari 6.2, I usually find images I want to use as reference on the web (google images), load the original image on the browser and it would be great to drag it to Refboard directly, as saving the image then dragging it onto Refboard or importing it is not as convenient and time saving…
    Maybe I'm using the wrong browser?

    I know it is just a little program you developed for yourself so I'm really grateful it exists thanks for sharing it… :)

    Really great app! I do wish moving the individual images around on the board was done by holding shift-click or something. That little bar at the top is so tiny. Also, any chance we might see the ability to rotate or flip images horizontally? Could be useful.

    Thanks! :)

    This. Both of these would be a welcome improvement. Lovely app though, many kudos to you Equanim.

    Been using this for a while now and it's very handy for getting lots of reference on one screen (the saving feature is a nice touch). However my biggest request would be as others said to have a toggle for the "always on top" nature of the window, though having it be collapsible helps. Thanks for the helpful application and for continued support!

    If possible i would love the feature where you can drag the image directly from browser into refBoard.

    Or right click "copy paste" if that can't work

    pureref has the drag and drop feature but it doesn't work with https urls so you a have to copy/paste

    Killer little app: a global hotkey to show/hide entire window would be really great.

    I just discovered this little great tool while reading Kimmo Kaunela’s “The Last Stop” Making of article .
    I quickly give it a shot organizing some of the reference I am using on my actual project and it feels really intuitive to use.
    So I just wanted to drop by and say THANKS for sharing this little great tool with all of us ! :)
