I have seen other controls on "continuous threads" like video editing, where there were two levels of controls. One acted as a "general locater and magnifier" control, and one acted as the placement inside that magnified section. But this is what "Preview" is all about, trying out new things and giving feedback. My caution would be (as my little company was doing) treating this "Preview" as a real product and putting documents into it that we might need to access some day in the future. Recently Google decided that "Google Gears", something that had at least reached "Google Beta Mode" was not work continuing, and they are now focusing on trying to implement the same functionality using HTML5. md _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
