Eek. Findability zero is almost as bad as dropping the feature. I'd vote for a mix between 1.0 and 2.0 style: always visible, where it used to be, but with the icon instead of the text button. > I think if the scissors are such annoying then giving the option > ex:copyIndividual="[true|false]" we can almost guess what people will do. The annoying thing to me was all the orphan scissors left around the place due to bugs in the event handlers that should have removed them, and perhaps, to some extent, that they would appear in weird far-off places. (And that layout for lenses would part obscure close buttons; likely fixable with a lower z-index attribute, or putting them in the bottom right corner instead, or something similar.) Regarding the guess, I think most people will go with what gives them the least amount of markup, even if the default is bad. > I wonder if there are other things people want to do beside copying... I've had a request for printing, for a choir photo album exhibit of mine. I was about 75% of the way there when the old copy button disappeared from the scene. :-) > like send the data off to some other web site.

Storing in Piggy Bank and in the cloud has my vote too. -- / Johan Sundström, http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
