I compiled the new wxsmith replaced the dll and zip file and it seems to work.
However the possibility to create a new wxsmith project seems to have dissapeared form the project wizrd.
Is this supposed to happen?
Thanks

Yes, new wxSmith currently doesn't have it's own wizard. In order to create wxSmith app you could create standard wxWidgets app and choose "Configure current project" - this will search for available wxApp classes and adopt it for wxSmith.
But once again I must warn - new wxSmith is NOT USABLE yet. It doesn't event create editor for resources. I need some time to reorganize base classes responsible for really basic things :(

Thanks for all the help:-)

OK, so now is there any info about the progress of the new wxSmith? When can we expect it to be integrated into NBs and become usable? Thanks :-)

Ok, current status of new wxSmith (I've worked really hard on wxSmith last week to make it usable in any way :))
Currently working:
* New framework prepared for new resources and even GUIs
* Adopting wxWidgest projects created using wxWidgets wizard to work with wxSmith (it tries to modify code where wxApp is created) - wxSmith's wizad is no longer needed
* Create wxFrame / wxDialog / wxPanel (just like before)
* Editor almost done - you can add new items, edit them in property grid and use mouse to change size / placement of items
* Full source code creation - all required source code is generated, but I haven't tested resources using XRC files
* Undo / redo
* Cut / Copy / Paste (but not yet tested)
* Each item has priority - items palette is better organized now
* Can use dialog units in resources for size / position and few other properties (this wasn't supported in old wxSmith)
Not yet working (comparing to old wxSmith):
* resource browser is not fully supported (resources are shown, selecting resource opens editor but selecting item inside resource does not select it on editor)
* No Quick-Properties panels
* No importing of XRC files
* Preview button in editor does not work
* Can not edit events (this is almost done but not enabled in property grid)
* Not all items supported in old wxSmith version are supported (few items require some extra threatment - like wxNoteBoox needs system to swap currently edited page)
* Converting from old wxSmith format not yet done
* No MAC support
* Not tested on Linux
* Editor needs to be polished up - it tends to blink to much and sometimes it does not refresh correctly (but looks like it's more stable than previous versions)
* No automake files
* No linux project file
In my opinion, 80-90% of rewrite is done :)
Regards
BYO

Sounds interesting, huh. We're all looking forward to see new wxSmith rolled out in good shape, thanks in advance for the great coming plug-in, Byo. Cheers :-)
