…at least until the new one incorporates ALL of the functionality of the old one - such as the ability to rapidly add random colors to a palette and deleting those you don't want. I have often discovered great new palettes by that sort of serendipity, as opposed to deliberate color selection.

Also, kindly implement the ability to rename files within my storage area. This is a basic file management function.

Hi Brian, thank you for your feedback!

This functionality has been added in the latest 4.0.7 version

You can rename a word art by opening it and using the name field at the top right corner. We will consider implementing the name change functionality on word artwork page.

I would like to duplicate a file in the generator, I am really missing this function. Also I don't know how to change the color for all words right now.
And I would like to delete a few words in one step - it was possible in the old version.

Save your word art and then use "save as" from the more menu. It is equal to duplicate functionality in the old version. The new "save as" functionality gives you more flexibility. For example you saved a word art that is fine, started experimenting and created another good looking word art. Then you would like to keep both. It was not possible with duplicate only but now possible with "save as".

Also I don't know how to change the color for all words right now.
Basically the same as in the old version. Change a color directly in the words table or click on the palette button in the style section.

And I would like to delete a few words in one step - it was possible in the old version.
An hour ago 4.1.0 version was released that allows you to do that.

Thanks for your response. Another function I miss in the new version is the ability to select multiple fonts by holding down the CTL key in the FONTS panel. By doing so, random assignments of diffferent fonts are made and - serendipity - you eventually find one you like by re-visualizing your word cloud several times. This is not the same thing as assigning different fonts to specific words in the WORD panel, which are then fixed and not randomly assigned.

Fonts multi selection with SHIFT and CTRL keys works fine at my end. Could you please advise the text you see at https://whichbrowser.net/, so I could understand what software you use?

Multiple font selection works in FireFox, but not Chrome.

Hi Brian, at my end multiple font selection works in Chrome as well. Which version of Chrome do you use? Does your monitor have touch support?

I'm using Chrome v62.0.3202.94. What keys are you pressing to get it to work in Chrome? I've tried the CTL key (with left mouse clicking on font names), as well as SHIFT, ALT and all possible combinations such as SHFT-CTL, CTL-ALT, SHFT-CTL-ALT, etc.
