Three New Fireworks Productivity Commands from John Dunning
Fireworks
QuickFire is essentially Quicksilver for Fireworks. While it's easy to add a keyboard shortcut for your most-used commands, accessing the others still requires clicking through the Commands menu. QuickFire makes accessing these commands much easier: just launch QuickFire (with a keyboard shortcut, of course), start typing part of the command's name, then hit enter to run the matched command.
The "Smart Punch" command goes far beyond Fireworks' basic punch functionality, letting you punch vector or bitmap objects out of another vector or bitmap. Even text blocks can be used as the "puncher" or the "punchee". The possibilities for punching mayhem are endless.
The "Export as Favicon" command creates a favicon file from the current document, which must be 16px by 16px. If you're using Fireworks CS3 or later, the favicon can also include a 32px version of the icon. Currently this command works only on Windows.
