Aww. I was assuming most modern machines were fine with this because I do most stuff on my PII 400 (dual) (<- no, that's not a typo) and, while it's slow loading it works reasonably well, and I thought _nobody_'s going to be using this with anything this slow. I'll have a think and also look at where (if) I can squeeze any more checkboxes/controls into the UI. > It's up to the developer to decide what they think is important and not > important, and I'm sure Robert does not take any offence at the > questions/suggestions/critique leveled at him No not at all, I love people ripping things apart - I just think people think I have more time and mental resources than I do. And I haven't seen any concrete suggestions (that I agree with ;) yet. I'm also loathe to just add textual explanations to everything, as I think that's a bit of a cop-out which will also keep going out of date. For instance, I really want to rip out the whole "matches" concept and replace it with the more generic idea of "states", but that will require a bunch of backend work and make any help that's not built into the UI concept out of date. I should be working. robert. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
