It seems like unless we think there are workflow reasons to keep all commands active, we should keep things simple and make the 'Subscribe' and 'Share' dialogs modal.

Bummer, and after all the work we did to make them asynchronous...

The one workflow issue that might arise is that users may launch the 'Share' dialog 1st BEFORE creating and selecting a new collection in the sidebar to publish.

We may want to add a pull-down to the publish dialog so that users can select: New collection or any other collection from the sidebar AFTER launching the 'Share' dialog. The collection selected by default should still be whatever was selected in the sidebar when the user launched the 'Share' dialog.


A pulldown listing all collections in the sidebar wouldn't be difficult. Having the "New collection" option doesn't make sense to me though, because the user won't have an opportunity to name this new collection unless we add another field to the dialog (or pop up a second dialog), and therefore the subscribers will just get an "Untitled" collection. I suppose publishing an empty collection could make sense in some situations, but then again I can't think of one at the moment. Do you have an example?
