Sorry David, I wasn't expecting that much of a response to the scissors. Perhaps a modifier inside each lens to turn on/off individual copying. something like
ex:copyIndividual="[true|false]" This way if an exhibitor wants to allow copy individual items they can do so, but if they want to remove that feature for map or timeline or scatter plot views they can have that feature turned off. I feel responsible for causing the removal of the scissors which in turn makes me feel that I should at least be helping you out in figuring out how to replace it, which I'm completely more than fine with :) Cheers, +dk Derek Kinsman The Idea Company New Media Designer http://www.ideacompany.ca/ http://boring.ambitiouslemon.com/ http://nincompoopery.ambitiouslemon.com/ 1 416 371 5652 David Huynh wrote: > Hi Derek, > > I've turned off the scissors on individual items.
