- Preferences: In preferences, it is old style to have "apply" buttons. It is simpler to just change things immediately the UI has changed, and if necessary revert them later. To be able to change them and close the window without actually having hi "apply" or "done" is too easy. It is simpler for the user if the state of the switch or button or field at any one time actually represents the state of the preference. - Cut and Paste. Write "the quick brown". Select "quick". Cut. Paste. Text should be the same, but reads "thequick brown", - No "Open recent..." - open -a /Applications/Amaya.app <filename> does not work. Does amaya not take command line args or are the args in OSX different? I suspect the latter. - Amaya should be able to launch from a file icon or URL icon dropped onto the Amaya icon. - In OSX ~/.amaya is OK as a directory for preferences, but it would be BETTER to have them in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Amaya and the caches under ~/Library/Caches/Amaya so that they are and are not backed up, respectively. - It really is not obvious in WXWidget split windows that you have to double-click on the red border to close. An "x" somewhere would much more normal. - Some Apps usefully use Comand/W to close a TAB not a window, when there are >1 tabs, and then close the window. That works for me.
