Two features I'd love to see implemented in FaceBuilder:

1. A thumbnail window that shows at a glance all of the available pict resources, so you can quickly see which ones are missing.

2. An always-on preview window that updates automatically as you add resources. Unlike FaceEdit, you should be able to see the inactive state without having to leave the program. The options you currently have in the main program window under the preview tab could be moved to the preview window, where they could be always accessible. I suppose you could make this window closeable (if that's a word) for those who prefer not to have to see all that gee-whiz interface stuff (grin).

    1) Approved and already being worked on.
    2) This one is a little more tricky, but we're currently planning on implementing this as part of 1.0. We need to coordinate with Panic on this to make it accurate however so it may get punted.

    Thumbnails of the image resources have been implemented and will also be customizable within preferences for the 0.2 build.

    1) Basic mplementation of thumbnails completed last week. -Default size will be 32 x 32. (We did not implement dynamic thumbnail size based on image resource sizes, so if that is desired please file a separate feature request.)

    1a) Now working on including thumbnail size option as part of the resource dislay view instead of a static preference.

    2) Preview mode is expected to replicate behavior of application, but work on this is currently on hold.
