| 20 | * '''Description''' The embedded books palette in Sophie 1 listed all the embedded books in the currently selected book. Books were listed by name and with a preview icon.[[BR]] |
| 21 | * '''Graphic Design''' This is a list palette: essentially a list of books. Metadata would be useful: in Sophie 1, books in this palette could be either linked (where the book exists somewhere else) or fully embedded (where the book is part of the parent book's file system). This wasn't made clear, although it has ramifications for the user. [[BR]] |
| 22 | * '''Interaction Design''' In Sophie 1, the icons of embedded books could be dragged from this palette to the page of an open book to make the embedded book appear on a page; the icon of the embedded book could also be dragged from the palette to the third field of a link HUD if the action was to open an embedded book in a new window. Neither of these interactions was particularly good. We need a clear way for users to link to embedded books; we also need a good for one book to be embedded in another book. If books could be dragged from the books palette to the embedded books palette, this might solve that problem.[[BR]] |
