Well, you know, I'm not part of your most people and I thoroughly hate the navigator : 1. popups suck 2. thumbnail-sized popups suck more 3. thumbnail-sized popups with buttons that do not adapt to the UI size like the rest of the suite suck even more The navigator is not bad when you limit its use to navigation As an outline substitute, it's sorely lacking (hint: people use outline view to get WYSIWYG and other UI annoyances out of the way. It's great to to simple text using the whole screen. The navigator is the complete opposite of this use case, even if it seems to be close from a functionnal view) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
