The downside would be clutter without at least one use case. Indeed I missed that. I think we agree.

Scott, Agreed, which is why I said *if you* have a use case, then I see no downside. The downside would be clutter without at least one use case.

As for the downside, we try not to clutter menus too much so it's nice to know that people will use a feature. It seems like an intuitive feature to add and the functionality fits well in that menu, but it would still be nice to know that someone would use it.

Scott, I have used branches and I see how this might be helpful. However, I’m never editing in such an en masse manner that this would be helpful to me, so I would likely not use it. However, if you have a use case that it’s helpful for, I see no downside to it. Joel > -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
