What do you think?
This is interesting. The top level menu when you first press CTRL+C confuses the heck out of me. When I choose one of the conditionals, I like the interface I see, that lets me choose always/never or a tag check or a global check. I do not see any way of deciding which global to check, but other than that I like what I see. I don't understand why there are pairs of conditionals, one defaulting to always and one defaulting to never. I don't understand the meaning of the two conditionals presented to me: "Enter goes to tag browser for tag conds" is this changing the behavior of the enter key on tags in custom? "Enter always goes to tag browser for tag conds" this sort of sounds like the same thing? So anyway, I think I like where you are going with this-- I am just a little confused in places. --- James Paige _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
