As far as the UI is concerned, there are two standard mechanisms which people generally understand. 1.) Instant save - what you write will be stored to disk with no opportunity to cancel, unless there is a catastrophic crash or power loss. 2.) There is a "Save" button and a "Cancel" button or mechanism. What you write will only be written to disk if you intentionally hit "Save". I don't understand the icons that are in the keyword editing interface right now. I would recommend picking one of these traditional methods and eliminate the option to set when metadata is actually written. If "instant save" is chosen, just do something sensible - like write on any one of these events, or when the metadata editor is closed, or on a timeout of 1 second or so. This is a bit different from changing image orientation, where there is no opportunity to have a "Save" button; it either gets written right away if you are doing an "Edit" operation, or not at all if you do a "View" operation. -B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
