Hi Chris,
I'd appreciate it if you would remove these following
controls from the dialog, as they've been deprecated
or we currently lack the ability to alter them (and
thus they shouldn't be in the preferences dialog).
Some of these will probably be re-added in the future,
but for now, I'd like to KISS:
Spelling->Ignore Internet and File Addresses
Spelling->Listing/Editing/Clearing ignored words
Spelling->Custom Dictionary
Other->*Preferences Schemes
Document->Show All Text
Document->Show Hidden text
I'd like you to add these controls not present on the
Unix version, but present on Win32:
Document->RTL text layout->Auto-insert direction
markers [checkbox]
I'm also not sure about our only having a "Close"
button. It might also be useful to have a "Reset" or
"Return to Defaults" button, or a "Cancel" button
since we don't follow the instant apply HIG
recommendation, and probably won't until AbiWord 2.2
at the earliest.
Other than that, this looks a *lot* better than what
we have now. Great job.
Thanks,
Dom
