Hey Ausum, Very cool! Improvements indeed! I don't care for the splitting of words into separate links "click vi/click ew" but everything else seems like a thoughtful fine-tuning of the UI. Hopefully these ideas will make it into an future release. Cheers Lee

I've uploaded pic snapshots hoping to explain them. They're based only in modifications to distribution dtml files, and one python module file. If you want the code I can send it to you, but you'll probably want to take a look first. :)

I've made very minor changes to my interface dtmls in order to reduce

clicks

...

when using Zope, all of them easy to implement. They are:

- Full screen dtml editing window (with IE for PC), - Printer version dtml window, - "view" opening a new window - Pull-down menus to browse other editable objects while at the edit or properties window (without the need to click back to the main directory window every time) - Images rendered at the very directory list, when wanted. - Images rendered at the edit and properties pages, all the time. - Thiner directory row lines, smaller font sizes of the rows content and form objects, and of course, control buttons also on top.

These are easy things to do, and they do help to reduce unnecessary clicks, right clicks and scrolling. Hope that some of them were considered for the next version of Zope.

For me, at least, it would be much more helpful, if the controlling buttons would be both at top and bottom.

That's one that I'll 'second'.
