    We hope to see more Right-To-Left support, mainly for crosstab, multi-column pages and outline panel.

    Also for new features in FR4:
    # thumbnails.
    # splitting a big page to several small pages.
    # printing several small pages on one big.

    Thank you for your continues support.

    Thanks for the upgrade

    (the "Reset page numbers" mode for groups)

    How about "Reset line numbers" mode for groups?

    Nice features... however, that seems that FastReport 4 is more useful for electronic reporting. For those who use just printed reports, there are no nice new features that can encourage an upgrade.

    Some suggestions:

    - Some new HTML Tags would be very appreciated. Like size and face;
    - The Sub-report page could have an option to be printed just on the dimensions of the sub-report object;

    Minor suggestions:

    - I use to press F11 when I want to use Object Inspector. But in FastReports, it always undock my object inspector. Couldn't it just be focused?

    I'll post some more suggestions when I remember. :-P

    Best Regards.
