I doubt they would.      minorron on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-46984 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 04:01:01 +0000 minorron 46984@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <blockquote><cite><a href="#post-46978">Toe said:</a></cite> Well, it's been one year since the announcement that Dave Alligood had returned to head up Canvas development.  Not to mention over 2 years since the release of Canvas 11. Wonder when we'll hear any news...   I was wondering the same thing. It has been awhile since they hinted at a spring release last year. It looked like things were changing from the no news.. no updates… no nothing software company to the earlier better days of exciting releases from the canvas team. I like to think that they are hard at work on a great product release and refuse to allow it to release until they have it right….. I guess I’m the ½ full type of person. But on the other hand.... an empty glass is what it is.

Wonder when we'll hear any news... Don't get me wrong, I'm not hoping for an announcement that the release of Canvas 12 is imminent or anything.  I doubt there was much work done on C12 in the year between C11's release and Dave's return, and Dave said after his arrival that decisions were still being made on Canvas's direction.  I figure at least a year and a half from then before they have much to show for their work, so I don't expect any 'big' news for a while yet. Still, it's always nice when they throw us poor dogs a bone... tofic on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-40784 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:28:43 +0000 tofic 40784@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ V E R Y   S A D Melanie Wood on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-40000 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:49:06 +0000 Melanie Wood 40000@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ The current direction of the product does not include the development of Canvas for the Mac OS. This decision was made in May of 2007 and the direction for the product has not changed since then. If and when there is a change, I will be the first to let you all know but until then, no, Canvas is not being developed for the Mac. -Melanie pgnetdev on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-39686 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:02:09 +0000 pgnetdev 39686@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ hi, given the jul 14th v11 update news/release,  http://community.acdsee.com/pro/2009/07/canvas-11-update-now-available/#more-846 and as posted @,  http://www.wizaerd.com/forum/index.php?pAction=Read&Msg=5578  Posted By:  Dave Alligood  Posted On: 01/14/2009  Subject: RE:Good News for Canvas Fans!  " ... That said, please use a certain degree of both diplomacy and respect in your asking and I can assure you it will be returned ... We know many of you have strong feelings about the ACD that acquired Canvas, but I can only state again that this is a different company and they deserve a chance to do something with this product we all share a passion about. ..." with as much diplomacy as i can muster, and thinking 6 months of "a chance" is a pretty good start, can someone @ ACD please directly address the will-it-be-on-Mac-again question? 'stealth mode' is all find & good, but, tbh, after the original "buy it for Windows, or go away" msg received from ACD _after_ the merger, and now the "teaser" from Dave & team (" ... nothing would please me more than a re-continued cross-platform development of the product. Sadly, decisions that were made well before the merger w/ ACD are preventing that from happening right now ...") it would be respectul to customers, even if former, to revisit/reclarify. i certainly understand the "we're not a charity" argument ... then again, afaict from the forums here (everyone _says_ they'd be willing to pay $$$), and the paucity of available alternatives other than CS4 (whic, btw, lots of folks _do_ pay for), there sure seems to be a road that leads to some revenue ... profit, admittedly, is a different matter. thanks.

I'm pretty pessimistic on the point though (see: http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/acd-systems-is-discontinuing-sales-of-canvas-x-for-mac), but I shall hope for the best. vikingz2000 on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-35760 Tue, 05 May 2009 14:53:54 +0000 vikingz2000 35760@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Uh, funny that I just thought I'd come back for a quick visit after such a long time. It looks like the "heat" and "ire" over no Canvas Mac version has died down.  That's healthy I suppose.  But does it look like that Canvas might be returning to the Mac?  Wow!  Hope it does. I'll be waiting to purchase the upgrade. Glad to hear that some of the old Denaba people are on your team. sjordi on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-35296 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 13:14:51 +0000 sjordi 35296@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Wow, if this means that Canvas will evolve again and give a Canvas 12 or XII, then I'm more than happy. I have been using Canvas since version 3.5 on Windows and earlier version on the Mac. Have been a beta tester since version 8 too. So if you need a beta tester again, count me in. Just waiting to see some more news about a new version of Canvas. Good news.

Still, I have always wanted to run a capable GIS system on a Mac... and not have to deal with X11, etc as in Open Grass. I am a long time ESRI user and also use Google Earth, WorldWind, Dapple and MS VE. I really want to be able to have equivalent capability running native on a mac. Any help/suggestions? Any samples of GIS work in Environmental Sciences using Canvas GIS? Also, I do have Canvas X and would like to upgrade, if possible. Since my home university (for which I am environmental science and science/technology education faculty) is broke, I'd like to think that I might be welcomed back into the Canvas fold with a bit of a break on the cost? Thanks for your time. rsands on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-33428 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 03:09:01 +0000 rsands 33428@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ is the 'good news' still on track? hasn't been much said lately -been a long way between watering holes. hope it wasn't an abberation! regards Richard minorron on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-32661 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:32:01 +0000 minorron 32661@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I would like to join in with the others on this site and say the recent news is exciting and I'm looking forward to whats ahead for Canvas.  I wish Dave and his new team all the success and if there is anything I can do to help with Canvas development ( what little I can contribute :) ....please let me know) Melanie Wood on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-32497 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:49:34 +0000 Melanie Wood 32497@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I'm happy you guys are happy. -Melanie plugsnpixels on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-32483 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 02:37:17 +0000 plugsnpixels 32483@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ This is all a wonderful, totally unexpected surprise. Of course the news is going to take a little getting used to!  The "new" ACD seems ready to move forward with Canvas as we all wished and hoped against all hope. Maybe our passionate reasoning was finally heard? Since the mid-'90s I've recognized Canvas as a unique product, and still feel that way. As "The Canvangelist" I am always ready to revive my support for any new Canvas development efforts, just like I did in the Deneba days. I'm looking forward to hearing more from ACD as time goes on!  tlewis on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-32471 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:15:24 +0000 tlewis 32471@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ This news made my day...which is probably a sad comment on my day. But if this signals a commitment by ACDsee to get some renewed canvas mojo boiling, color me very interested. t Rod Norwood on "Great news for Canvas Fans!" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/great-news-for-canvas-fans#post-32414 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:23:44 +0000 Rod Norwood 32414@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Now, there's a name that rings a bell!
