What has been dicussed some times ago is that we should be able to collapse whole sections from inside the document. This kind of feature would provide the ideal interface: everything (print, spell...) would apply to the visible text. This would be really nice. Things would be much faster and swifter if we can collapse a whole section (or maybe even a whole chapter) containing lots of EPSs... Anyway, Amir's idea looks very nice as well, in the sense that, even if we go via the collapsable sections (which looks like *the* path) the TOC popup could gain a lot of functionaly if we could collapse and expand sections picking them from there (kind of button 3 operation or something like that...)
