  Posting a .capx will be easiest

  Ah I didn't know you could just rename to .zip like that :)

  I use Git for version control and it looks like it's including the .git folder in the backups. Committing, then backing up the commit, then recommitting ad infinitum must have caused it to exponentially grow.

  I can't imagine what Subversion would be like with all the nested .svn folders :O

  Not sure what the solution would be - not to backup hidden folders?

  Using glass + tint + water could work.

  Example:

  Edit -> This is a buggy example but could be used as a starting point.

  Try setting the width of the character to a negative number. So if the width is 100, set the width to -100.

  I too have this issue, but I've had it from when I started using Construct 2 around r99. I've had to play with fire and disable auto-backups.

  I've noticed the backup file is huge (half a gig), so not sure if that's anything to do with it? In settings it's only set to keep one backup.

  Create a white sprite and use the tint effect. Store the RGB values in variables and use them to read/write the colours.

  I'm wondering this too - looks like it might be possible through AppMobi: http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/appmobi-adds-windows-phone-8-support-to-html5-sdk/019713

  Here's a great article that should help you http://gyorgybalassy.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/your-app-needs-a-privacy-policy-in-the-windows-store/

  Did you include a privacy policy?

  4.1.1 Your app must have a privacy statement if it is network-capable

  If your app has the technical ability to transmit any user's personal information, you must maintain a privacy policy. You must provide access to your privacy policy in the Description page of your app, as well as in the app�s settings as displayed in the Windows Settings charm.

  Audio playback rate and custom cursors are notable incompatibilities we've run into. Generally everything works very well though.

  You can install apps on multiple devices just fine, you'll just need a valid development license:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/matt-harrington/archive/2012/04/14/how-to-share-your-metro-style-windows-8-app-with-another-developer.aspx

  Good find, this would have caused problems for us.
