Few things that would make the desktop version of bLADE Wiki better
Here are some suggestions on how to improve bLADE wiki (desktop version)
General:
Page navigator pane:
Insert link dialog (Ctrl+L):
That's it for now. Thanks for bLADE wiki, I really like it and I'm starting to use it every day now!
General:
- Opening a Wiki Location to start from the last opened page, not the home page
- Abbreviate the location names in the "Locate your wiki" recent locations list; now I have something like "C:\Document and Settings\user\My Documents\HTC My Documents\bLADE\MyBooks\projects"... maybe display it as "C:\Documents...\MyBooks\projects"
- It would be nice to have a status bar with some useful info (e.g. hovering a mouse over a link could show the link target)
- Add toolbar buttons to show different panes (navigator/search etc)
Page navigator pane:
- select pages with a single click
- mark the currently opened page (e.g. with bold or with different color or with selection)
Insert link dialog (Ctrl+L):
- I would prefer to have the page list in a real list, not a combo (so the pgup/dn/home/end controls work, and you can directly select a page). Starting to type a page name should scroll the list to the corresponding page
- I'm running Windows with large fonts, in this case the buttons on some of the dialogs (e.g. the password dialog) aren't visible
That's it for now. Thanks for bLADE wiki, I really like it and I'm starting to use it every day now!

Inappropriate?thanks very much for the suggestions - I'll add them to my list
-
Inappropriate?I like the idea about the abbreviated location names - would it be possible to use the wiki "short names"?
-
Yes
but what about the wikis that do not have short names? -

added to 3.4.9 -
Thanks for adding it!
But there is a problem: on my PC, the status bar overlaps and hides the bottom part of the wiki window -
woops, sorry about that.
I've had a go at fixing it - I've fixed the main page, but the dock will be a little more tricky - might have to leave that till tonight
if you want to re-download it in the meantime, it at least uncovers the bottom bit of the main page -
fixed - apologies again! -
No problem - it's working ok - it was just a cosmetic glitch -
Inappropriate?status bar with some useful info (this is a great idea ... especially for icons !) thanks !
