That is not what I meant, really. To make it more simple, I just said that twice the same menu, with the same items, is a waste of "menu space". Even if I agreed they don't do the same, it wouldn't mean they couldn't be reorganized and thought differently, for a different, *maybe* better, user experience. >> In Note mode, there will still be that ability to mass-add notes, >> changing the type with a selection within the Notes menu or the >> corresponding keyboard shortcut. > > Again, and again, The items in the Notes menu *add a new note* of a > specific type, also in note tool mode. This allows you to add, say, a > text note while you're busy adding a whole bunch of, say, highlights. This is right, and useful. We aren't meant to agree, as we have 2 different views of UI design. But that's just my opinion, and I wanted to let you know it. To make it clear: The Notes menu allows to choose which note type is to be added ponctually. The submenu "Tool Type" allows to choose the type of the note BEFORE any addition. To me, It is all a matter of choice. That's how I see it! I may be right, I may be wrong... But disagreement is great: it always helps, doesn't it? ;) Xavier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
