ShoeBox 3.6.5

Overview

Important Certificate fix: Please uninstall any previous versions prior to 3.6.3 of ShoeBox before installing the latest version. The initial certificate from ShoeBox expired and I had to create a new one so it can be installed again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

ShoeBox is a free Adobe Air based app for Windows and Mac OSX with game and ui related tools. Each tool uses a drag and drop - or clipbord interaction for a quick workflow.

A more in depth manual can be found here:
