Different countries, different characters
July 10, 2007
fluxiom now offers built-in support for international filenames. Whether it’s japanese Kanji, simplified Chinese or any alphabet, fluxiom will display filenames correctly in your browser and they also persist after you download or share those assets.
Note: Unfortunately, when downloading or sharing multiple files in a ZIP package that contains files with special characters in the filename, Windows will discard the original filenames. For this reason fluxiom includes a list of the original filenames in every ZIP package you download.

About tagging

fluxiom goes a long a way to provide users with user interface elements they know and love from their desktop applications. Here’s an example from the asset viewer, showing how to use click and drag rubberband selections (you need QuickTime to view the movie):
