The drawer in the editor is gone, and replaced by a thumbnail + Quick Look capability. You might want to check out the editor window in a recent nightly build. >In general, flexibility for placement of these panes and drawers is helpful, >since different projects have different screen real estate >demands--sometimes BibDesk would get priority, sometimes not. I agree that flexibility can be helpful, but it does lead to feature bloat (good luck finding the right preference!). If we could cut it down to 3 and use a segmented control to switch between them like Finder's icon/column/list view, we could ditch some prefs, which is one of my favorite things to do :). -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
