yup, this is how i work too. how about adding some javascript to the manage_* methods that reload the related window (if it's open) whenever the source changes, too? a problem with this might be ending up with a mass of windows all over your desktop, which is invariably horrible. otoh, there's (almost) no js in the management interface at the moment, and i generally think this is a good thing. i hate js. i presume this was a design decision from the start? however, if this was to guarantee browser interoperability, why are there lots of frames everywhere? and there is some js beginning to creep in now (e.g. help screens). however, this functionality would not replace any existing interface bits so perhaps it's not a bad thing. and although i hate js it can be a very useful piece of evil. a dynamic tree on the left instead of a yuk frame that hardly ever reloads would be a nice thing too. just thinking aloud. seb.

A lot of the time I end up going into a document/folder/method just so I can click on the 'view' tab popping up a new window so I can see it (option click / right click).
It would be very nice if DC could add a icon (or take over the existing icon) to pop a new window with the object ( a target="top" href="object" ) so you could view the object without having to edit it. This would save about 2 steps for something that, personally, I do all the time. The link to the object would still be for editing it.
Just a thought.
Thanks, J
