Illudium Code Generator Build 6 Available
I just finished posting a new version of the Illudium PU-36 Code Generator to the Google Code site. The newest feature is one I am excited about because even if it *sounds* simple, it wasn't that simple to build. You can now specify an absolute path for the save to file feature, but, more importantly, you can also open a file system browser to traverse through your local file system and choose the directory you want to save to.I wrote about the ColdFusion code this required earlier this week, utilizing the java.io.File class to get drive and directory information in order to bypass the typical restrictiveness of the file field form input (the same restrictions apply to Flex). The new solution bypasses those limitations, hopefully making the product much more usable.
A couple notes on this change:
- You are free to type in a path as some have requested, you do not need to use the chooser.
- The docs have not been updated to reflect these changes.
- The file browser has been tested currently against Win XP and OSX, but it should work on any platform.
- Special thanks to Paul Marcotte for his help with testing
Oh, and if this project saves you time (and thereby makes you money ;), feel free to visit my wishlist.

Could you do a Connect or other online presentation on how to use and cool features. Maybe for the online user group or put it on Charlie's UGTV - http://carehart.org/ugtv/list.cfm
