Bug report and ideas

Hello,

Thank you for your work !

I use Amaya for my site (www.djefer.com), however I notice some
troubles in handling.

I list here a set of trouble and improvment ideas :

1°) About the main ToolBar :

Why the E, S, C buttons behaves as Toggle Button but not H1, H2, H3
and Lists ? I mean, If I active the H1 on a text part, I can't disable
it easily.

It is possible to have a contextual toolbar depending on the object
used ?

2°) About simple use :

Adding a gif images shows an annoying comment : "The Alternate text is
mandatory"

There's a lot of bug in the table object :

a°) Build an 10, 10 table. Go to the first cell and try to do several
line.
b°) Build in the amaya introduction page a table of any size with a
border > 2. Then insert another table with a border of size 1, the
main table is resetted to a border of size 1.
c°) Build a 5, 5 table. Add a text in the first column in the first
row, then add a text in the second column in other line. We can't
select the first column content !
d°) Sometime a *** Thot: Irrecoverable error *** crashes Amaya with
tables.

3°) About menus :

I think, there's ergonomic problems.

Here, current main menu :

[File] [Edit] [Types] [Links] [Views] [Style] [Special] [Attributes]
[Annontations] [Help]

Example of change :

Types could be renamed as Objects. Links could be integrated in
it. Views could ne in an [Option] menu, [Special] could be integrated
in it. Is there an interest with Annotations ? Could be so in the
[Option].

[File] [Edit] [Objects] [Style] [Option] [Help]
       |   |
       + Links  + Views
    + Special ( to rename Preference ).

[Attributes] is a contextual menu, it should be visible or active
without valid Object.

4°) Short cut :

I need to use Ctrl+Shift+B for active Bold, same thing for Italic.

5°) Popup Menu :

It will be better if contextual Popup Menu could be available. It will
avoid to find in main menu what we need.

6°) Window

Dialog box are not always straightforward. The first think, is that I
can't kill it using the [x] Window icon. I don't understand the
interest of the 'Clear' button.  What is the difference between
'Done' and 'Apply' ? Same thing if 'Done' is for 'Confirm' why such
different name ?

For example : On the action Background image item, Clicking on the
Confirm button will do nothing, It should close the dialog and do
nothing without a Background.

7°) Navigation :

Previous and Next doesn't work very well in Edition Mode.

Ex : I'm creating a new page, When clicking the previous button <--
it goes to the Amaya Introduction page (which is I don't understand
why for edition). I can't go again to my new page.

Alexandre Brillant
