Hi,

Here's a few things that I think would make Ensemble easier to use:


1.        When the results grid contains more than one column of class 
instances, it would be nice to be able to drag the instance from any column 
onto the Visualization tab for further exploration.  Currently I can only drag 
the instance contained in Column 0.

2.       When selecting properties from the incoming/outgoing dropdowns it 
would be helpful if multi-selection were enabled via the CTRL and SHIFT keys.  
Sometimes you want to see lots of stuff all at once.

3.       As soon as the mouse is moved beyond any edge of the results grid 
while dragging an instance, the results grid begins to scroll in that direction 
until I drop the instance on another tab.  Unless you can drop the instance 
inside the results grid, auto-scrolling does not add any value and is a bit 
frustrating since you have to drop your instance quickly lest you lose your 
place in the grid.

4.       Multiple selection would be nice in the grid -it's currently very 
tedious if you are using the grid to edit.

5.       How do I save the results of a query to my local drive as a CSV, etc?

6.       I really need to be able to name the columns in the grid!  Consider a 
query using the Kennedys ontology:  Person3->(parent)->Person2.  The result 
columns are named Person2 and Person3.  Which is the parent without studying 
the query?  Easy to figure out when it is a simple query but hard otherwise.

7.       We have Count but Sum has disappeared from possible aggregation 
functions (unless it is context sensitive in that it is only an option with a 
numeric property value, I haven't tried that one yet.)

Given the flexibility of the event driven toolkit behind the new Ensemble, I 
may be complaining a bit early so if there are easy ways to do what I've 
mentioned please let me know!

Tim
