I agree, David. I'm thinking Adobe is taking a long look at the future of FrameMaker and realizing that some internal re-design may be needed to keep the code flexible for modern (post-2000) OSs.
They're also probably wanting to do some things to the interface to make it seem a bit slicker. Things like the Draw tools, the menus like Conditional Text and paragraph styles, originate in a time when specialized interface made sense (although the keyboard shortcuts are brilliant, like EMACS with a soul). They're going to be looking toward reduced mouse-travel and macro-enhancements, maybe even building a scripting language into the program. At least, this is what I hope. What else would you experienced FrameMaker users like to see in future re-designs of this program? --- David Creamer <ideaslists at ideastraining.com> wrote: > I imagine > there will be a new (or improved) cross-platform > option by then--either from > Adobe or another company. http://www.dionysius.com code | tech | docs | leadership ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!
