I really fail to see what's so funny here. As a general note, sticking with the status quo is sure a somewhat "save" option. But once you have used some odd UI for a long time, you begin to view it as the norm. And the current UI is really odd. So I would try to see it with a bit more relaxed viewpoint, instead of trying to view everything with your old glasses. One point I can say is that these checkmarked options are rarely changed by users. Having these taking up that much space in such a prominent place like near the status bar is something that has annoyed me for quite some time. Which isn't an argument against your rejection, for sure. But why are these checkmarks on the bottom? They affect something above them, no? And they affect only the left side, but they look like they would affect everything above. As an argument, I could say we could add more information into that new page of the notebook you say you don't want (because it doesn't fit into the existing pages there). For example, we could list the number of files for each category (currently, you don't know if there are "unknown" files if you have disabled the "?"). Another argument is, I've made it the first tab. I think it's not that odd to have some settings/options in the first tab and then some info in later ones. The only options left I currently see is the menu (which I already said why it is bad), the status quo -- which is horrible in my book. Or yet another dialog. But that, honestly, seems a bit ridiculous to me, given the possibilities we have with using the notebook on the right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
