Looks good Lee ... hope to see it integrated with the devnotes 
version of wireframes on SourceForge soon :-).  

Supplementary question ... Can anyone explain to me the 
difference between  a menu and "non-menu" XFA in Wireframes. It 
seems that the menu XFAs are left out at the "generate code" 
step. However I've got to say that when I did some code generation 
(home-grown tool, using data from wireframe tool and spreadsheet) 
I found it useful to generate XFAs based on the menu items too, it 
helped a lot in getting a skeleton app up and running.

On my home-grown generator ... although it's in a fairly ragged 
state at the moment (true fb3 app though), I did manage to 
generate, almost completely automatically, a skeleton website that 
could be clicked through as easily as the wireframe. What's more 
all my fusefiles were created complete with fusedocs 
(responsiblities section only) just ready and waiting for code to be 
added to create a working site. I could create the fusefiles because 
my (manually created) spreadsheet contained the breakdown from 
fuseaction to fusefile.

The only stuff my generator doesn't address at the moment is the 
directory structure of the final app. However since it's all strict FB3 
I was able to create the directory structure then map that in the 
circuits template to get it all working. That and a tiny bit of tinkering 
with FBX_layouts was all I needed to get my click-through site. 

If anyone's interested in this, let me know. I will be going back to 
work on it later anyway for my own benefit, but if it sounds good to 
anyone else, it may prompt me to get back to it sooner.

Cheers,    Andy.
