News updates, tips on using Perch and running a great web design business
We added a shortcodes system into Perch and Runway 3 to help better integrate Editor toolbars with the Assets system. In doing so we created a whole new way to add your own functionality to Perch. This post explains the thinking behind it.
The new Assets functionality in Perch doesn’t just cover image use and re-use. Any type of file can be treated as an Asset and made available for re-use. Perch creates a nice thumbnail preview of images but it is also possible to have a thumbnail of PDF files and even video automatically created.
Perch 2.5 is now available for purchase and as a free update for any Perch 2 license. This is our biggest feature release since the launch of Perch 2 in that it includes the much requested Assets management and reuse feature.
