It's pretty easy to hit the clear button by accident, and you can't undo if you wipe out the text you typed. It could have an "are you sure" dialog or it would be just as good to push some command onto the undo stack. Either one of those is just enough trouble to be more than I'm going to code today. The undo stack is probably the superior choice, although I imagine it could get complicated, so the dialog is more attractive, just because I'm really lazy these days. I'm thinking about a checkbox under those buttons that says something like "[x] Show notes when loading document." Rig the document load code to look for this, and pop up this editor window after loading is complete. It isn't immediately obvious how to implement that, since this is on a tab inside the overall document properties editor. I think there are precedents for that elsewhere in the code. Make the editor a widget, and the widget can belong to that page or to a separate, dedicated dialog. I'm really interested in the ability to show notes upon loading a document. I considered doing that for years, and never got around to it. Put information in the example files to explain what the thing is for when the user loads it. Some files focus on MIDI, some on notation, some on DSSI plugins, etc., and it would be cool to be able to just tell the user that stuff in a pop-up dialog they could easily silence. My interest in this checkbox/pop up dialog is high enough that it's something I would code myself, but I want to get your opinion before I hijack your new feature. (Also, I have practically no time, and if you should happen to love the idea and go code it yourself, I would not object in the slightest to being deprived of the opportunity to fire up my text editor. This is not remotely the same as asking you to write it for me, however.) -- D.
