      * '''Description''' (In Sophie 1 this basically did what the Insert menu currently does, except that this would take any media type; this could also be used to import multiple resources at once, which users often wanted to do. Not sure how this will square with the Insert menu; I think Import/system drag-and-drop is better than dedicated insertions.)[[BR]]

Does it make sense to have a single "File > Export Book" option that allows the user to select PostScript, PDF, HTML rather than three separate entries? Or a submenu after Export? That could also include what we're calling ExportItem, which could become "Export Resources".
