Yep -- I think Brian's vision is pretty close to what we want to do. I would support adopting his general outline, with maybe a few modifications: - I think in addition to the Template-style interface in #2, we should add an setting to let new Documents start out as a specific type of file, whether that is plain text or rich text or vector image or whatever. This could also be a per-Project setting. - It may be preferable to have tools live as palettes outside of the editing window. I think this would be easier from a programming perspective as well. - For #6, do we want to allow in-place editing? - For #10, do we see any reason for having a unified photo or music manager, a la iPhoto or iTunes? Or, can we somehow transform a Project into that, so that the Project will contain all the albums/playlists, and we can tell the Project to just show all pictures or play all songs? Thanks again, Brian! Nice work! J. _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
