------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 9 07:10:46 +0000 2007 ------- Users often desire both preservation (logging, archival) of important data and privacy (protection from unintended archival) of ephemeral data. Inferring intent from performance of actions which create trails elsewhere -- printing, e-mail -- strikes an appropriate balance and increases opportunity to appropriately use the versioning feature. A simple implementation would add a "Print and Save a Version" and "E-Mail and Save a Version" option to dialogs for the respective actions; in this way the user can preserve a snapshot of what they're already expressing intent to produce irrevocable copies of. (Printed copies might be binned or shredded, but at least a bare majority of them are produced for exchange.) Privacy doesn't take a hit because these actions are already creating a real or digital "paper trail" the user probably wants a personal record of; making the action an explicit new option also preserves a sense of control, though it could be made a preference that would present the inverse when made default. (Control+P, Enter to print and Control+P, V to "Print and Version" -- or N to "Print and Not Version" if the preference to default to versioning is set?) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
