This is the time of year many people prepare custom photo calendars for gifts to relatives/friends. Often, they use a service like http://www.staples.com/sbd/content/copyandprint/wallcalendars.html, where they can add photos to a template. It's probably too late for this year, but it might be useful if the Design & Print module included a calendar template. I'd envision something like a two-page spread, with photos on the top page and a calendar on the bottom page, for each month. Ideally, the template would have a 'year' input which would in turn generate 12 (or more) monthly calendars for that calendar year. One would likely still need to use a printing service for the physical calendar (and probably the same cost to the user as employing the service's template), but such an IMatch template would allow a lot of customization.

It would be interesting to see how much (if any) interest there would be for this feature.


ps - How does one add a 'Like' button to a feature request?

Feature requests automatically get 'Like' buttons.
Of course you cannot 'like' your own request so you won't see the button. But all other users see it and can use it to 'like' your request.

Maybe this could be implemented as a new container type. A few options (year, month, format...) and we're set.

You can do a calendar now (manually) using a text container and a XAML grid.
If you copy the text from the attachment to a text container with the "XAML" option enabled, you get a calendar for January 2016.
You can style it as you like.
