… is almost there!  I am working on a FLEX based chart that will allow for neat features… Just to give you a preview:

As you can above, the chart will have 3 sections:

The main display with all the categories I could think of which will have some sort of star rating/color coded

The bottom left will be a detailed product information box that will change based on which row you choose in the main box

The bottom right will be a detailed column box that will display detailed info pertaining to the category you are interested in for the product chosen.

So, for example, say you click the Metadata box for the Idimager row.. the left would show Idimager product info and the right would display a brief (or detailed) discussion of how Idimager handles Metadata..  Neat eh?!

Now.. I just need to finish the coding to make it XML driven and dynamic so I can easily update the files without ever touching this code again.

For anyone technically interested - I highly recommend you check out Adobe Flex… I build the above grid and box with about 30 lines of code… not bad at all!  The XML binding doesn’t look too bad either which is my next step.

Sorry again this has taken a bit longer than I had hoped… but I feel that this approach will offer the best solution for a “comparison” style chart of DAM Products.

Stay Tuned…

Oh.. and thanks for everyone for continuing to post comments on the various reviews and info pages.. and for telling others about the site.  Traffic has been steadily increasing… so THANK YOU!
