v6 v7 16 16 * LeftFlap [[BR]] 17 17 * ConfigTab [[BR]] 18 * '''Description''' This tab contains the palettes showing what plugins Sophie is using. It's worth noting that these palettes are not going to be important to most users when making books; maybe this functionality could be hidden in a floating window called from the menu bars rather than appearing in a palette?[[BR]] 18 19 * PluginsPalette [[BR]] 19 20 * '''Description''' This palette shows a list of all the plugins in the working copy of Sophie 2.[[BR]] 20 21 * '''Graphic Design''' This is a list palette.[[BR]] 21 * '''Interaction Design''' Selecting a plugin shows metadata about the plugin in the PluginAboutPalette. It's worth noting that this palette is not going to be important to most users; maybe this functionality could be hidden in a menu rather than appearing in a palette?[[BR]]22 * '''Interaction Design''' Selecting a plugin shows metadata about the plugin in the PluginAboutPalette.[[BR]] 22 23 * PluginAboutPalette [[BR]] 23 24 * '''Description''' This palette shows information about the plugin selected in the PluginsPalette .[[BR]] … … 25 26 * '''Interaction Design''' Each plugin should have an "enable" and "disable" button. Not all plugins can be enabled or disabled; some are necessary.[[BR]] 26 27 * BooksTab [[BR]] 28 * '''Description''' This tab contains palettes having to do with book management. Much of this functionality is duplicated by the book tab bar at the top of the application window.[[BR]] 27 29 * OpenBooksPalette [[BR]] 28 30 * '''Description''' This palette lists all currently open books in Sophie. This palette does duplicate the functionality of book the Windows menu (which lists all books) and the book tab bar, which shows all open books. [[BR]] … … 32 34 * '''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]] 33 35 * '''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]] 34 * '''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.

If books could be dragged from the books palette to the embedded books palette, this might solve that problem. It might make sense to treat embedded books as resources and move them into the resources palette, rather than keeping them over here.[[BR]] 35 37 * PagesTab [[BR]] 36 38 * ''PagePreviewPalette'' [[BR]]
