[Xerte-dev] New editor

[Fay Cross]

I've just been having a proper play with the new editor Tom and John have been working on and it looks great.

It started me thinking about other new features that could be useful in the future - although I'm sure you have enough to be going on with finishing it as it is!

I was looking at Captivate last week and it had the option to preview a whole project or preview from a particular point. I could see that a similar 'Preview from current page' option could be useful when editing a page towards the end of a large project in Toolkits.

I was also wondering about the potential for pages you add to be on/off so you could, for example, work on adding extra content to an existing project without having to make a copy. Some kind of check box next to the page list to show which pages would appear when published. I know you can kind of do this with preview / publish but something more obvious to show what content is live and so it's not as easy to accidentally publish the wip to the live version.

Also, importing pages from other projects you've made - more complicated but I could see it might be something that people would use.


The new editor looks really good though, I can see that it will really interest those who wanted to feel like they can more easily customise the standard pages.
