Ok, good point. I'm buried in real-life work these days, but could you perhaps come up with a suggestion for new keybindings and I'll put them in? > - I really dislike the split of revelation and the gnome applet. > Really.

But I'm not really sure if I want to put it in the systray, the GNOME guys really only want it to be used for notifications. Actually, I've been toying with the idea of dropping the entire windowed user interface for Revelation and instead implementing everything as an applet. The applet really is the most convenient interface to the database, and I think it would be useful to allow for adding/editing data there - but I don't want to have to maintain two different "applications" (applet and Revelation) doing basically the same thing, and so perhaps the main app could just be dropped. This would of course also have an impact on how we store and handle the data - for example, if we only have an applet interface there shouldn't be any need for explicit loading and saving, and it might be better if we used tags instead of folders to organize the data. Or perhaps there are other options - what do you guys on the list think? I don't really use Revelation that much anymore, so I'm not so sure what the best interface would be. -- Erik Grinaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://erikg.codepoet.no/ "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." -- Albert Einstein
