I don't know for sure, Ludo said that for HTML. I think it's important for
PDF and RTF, so that you can customize page order for the final file.

The problem with Proposal 2 is that I put the move arrows also for
Space/Page Tree, but they shouldn't be there, because moving the pages, will
break/duplicate the hierarchy. The reason I put them is to allow the same
functionality in all the views, but we better remove them and keep them only
for List View.

Another problem with Proposal 2 is the initial view for List View:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/MultiExport2Proposal/1.png
Theoretical, initially there shouldn't be any results in the display
(because no search has been made). The spaces are added to have consistency
with the Tree View (when you change to Space/Page all spaces should be
there). So the idea was to have the same data and the same functionality
(moving) no matter the view (Space/Page or List), but I think they will be
better made custom, and remove the spaces from initial display of List View
(especially if List View will be the default display, and beginner user will
not understand what they can do with those spaces, how they can navigate
them).

Problem number 3 :) is automatic change of views depending on the Export
Type the user selects. The idea is to auto-change the view to "Space/Page
Tree" when the user chooses XAR Export; or to auto-change the view to "List
View" when the user selects PDF/RTF export. Is not indicated to mess with
user preferences (maybe he wants only list view, no matter of export type),
and should be done only if we agree that that's the best/optimum view for
that export type.

I would like to know your opinion on this 3 problems.
Thanks,
Caty
