Yes, absolutely!
> > * I see no way to get the things I used to with right-click (like
stereo glasses, color, axes, whatever). Does jsmol just not have that?

default Jmol menu as it provides access to some file writing features.
You were not able to get it? I'll look into that.
Yeah. This is on Safari 5, granted, but still... actually, it doesn't
work on FF either. I don't know why, other right-clicking seems to be
working fine on this computer still.
> > * The icon for activating the plot is ... not obvious. I still
really find the auto-disable piece annoying, and I know that some people
have just hacked that away, though I also know I won't convince you
otherwise ;-)
> It is just the default image (a standard stock "play" icon) stored in
the JSmol tree. If we can come up with something better it can be
replaced.
I think that a word of some kind would be helpful. The image doesn't say
much to me, while your previous "live image" or whatever made it very
clear. Not everyone will mouse over that icon.
> > * Please remove the icons for new cells. They are cute, and probably
an improvement in some ways, but it should really be orthogonal to this
issue. There's enough moving parts to think about as it is.
**Especially** since the blue bars have been the way to make new cells for
many years! That's a pretty big change.
> I agree that it would be nice to separate this "big" change in the
interface out. Unfortunately, I really could not get the old key+click
actions to work with the new jquery that is required to support JSmol.
Unless somebody else can make it work without breaking JSmol these icons
are going to be part of this change. I'm open to suggestions on exactly
how things should look, but built it using the standard jquery-ui tools
that are part of sagenb.
Huh, that is weird. When I start actually reviewing the code changes I'll
try to think about that.
> > Hope this helps! Actually, it's fairly comparable to the current
setup, so probably we could get it in sooner rather than later.
Especially if you have any thoughts on the "viewer" thing - to me, this
would be by far the easiest way to switch back and forth between
functionality.
> I'll keep working on this. I think if I can get it working cleanly in
the GUI, it will be easy to couple it to the viewer option.
That would be very good, providing all available options.
