I much prefer the new keyboard shortcut scheme to the old one. The jfile screen is feeling quite usable now. Some more css formatting will further clarify the roles of the various bits. Although having the actions hidden away in the action menu is nice and tidy, I think I'd prefer them to be more directly available (buttons on the page?). AFAICS the intended method for creating a new file/folder is to navigate to the desired location, press action|new file, then rename to the desired name. This mimics creating new folders/files in a GUI window manager, but feels a bit clunky still?
I really like the Studio|labs... mechanism. If it becomes possible to reliably turn off the #log outline, then it would be nice to detect a user click anywhere in the window below the editable section and cause the #prompt to gain focus. Otherwise it might be desirable always show an outline of some sort so the user knows where is clickable. Of course once the #log is big enough to fill the browser window, this is not so much of an issue. Still having the issue with "getsrcfile: favicon.ico" appearing multiple times in my jijx session (32bit Win7, Firefox 3.6.8) - happens on two separate computers. > From: Eric Iverson > Sent: Wednesday, 8 September 2010 10:29 > > JHS JAL update 1.0.16 is available. > > Still lots of rough edges, but some big steps forward. > > Most features (new and old) are indicated in the menus. > > Keyboard shortcuts is a critical issue that has bounced around in each > release.
