This answers a few past suggestions to some extent: 1) the file view on the right scales icons to fit a single column Superb. Looks like this is only for the publications table; individual publication windows don't seem to do this yet. Yup. I think it makes less sense in editor windows. Editor windows are small, so there it's mainly useful as a drop target or quick look target. (As you probably already know, there's still a slider at the bottom of the side pane that no longer operates. It does operate...it just resizes the icons in the preview pane, not the side pane, so it's misplaced. I have some ideas on improving that in general so any fileview has a slider. 2) you can display files in the bottom pane Looks nice. I tend not to use the side pane, but that might be useful. (This would be a good view option for the publication windows as well.) Interesting...how so for pub windows? Well, in pub windows, mine generally have a lot of empty space at the bottom (with a couple lonely checkboxes below that). Having a bottom pane along with a side pane would use that space better. 3) you can quickly toggle the main preview pane I like the toggle between preview and files. Having a menu down there for which preview view to use would make this even better. In this version, it's either textview or fileview, and I haven't finished lobotomizing things yet :). I just threw this out there because it answers a couple of things people have asked about, and sometimes it's helpful to see ideas in a functional demo. And here we are asking for more surgery already... but I would find it useful (and new people would probably find it intuitive) -AHM - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bibdesk-users] smart group / Applescript enhancements
