You are right so far. That`s the beauty of it that you can customize
Metacard to a certain extent.
What I am suggesting, however, is to have a "static" or "author" mode as
a *normal standard feature* of Metacard that is available to anyone -
even to a beginner that tries to find out how Metacard works by looking
at the scripts of the demo stack.
I am also suggesting to connect this feature with the pointer tool, so
that it is automatically invoked each time you want to do some
"authoring", creating an object, changing a script etc. It is presumably
more user-friendly to have to use one control instead of two (and having
to look where in the menu the second control has been placed).
I propose to combine the "suppress messages" button with the pointer
tool in Revolution, too
Such a feature request of course may not have first priority, but if
there is no compelling reason against a combination of the pointer tool
and an author mode, it could be realized.
