Nice job !

Hmm, I’m not sure that all of my draft posts (notes) need to be one click away. The view-change tabs for switching between WYSIWYG, code and preview mode are correctly implemented in that a user regularly jumps back and forth between views.
I don’t find that switching between notes (drafts) is a common task. Is this a feature requested by many users? Uncluttering the interface by hiding infrequent interface elements is preferred. Can you offer a screenshot of how the entire interface would be laid out including the left and right sidebars?

Dan: This won’t open your notes in tabs automatically; it will just allow you to have notes, posts, and pages open in multiple tabs rather than having to switch between them with only one editor. If you prefer, you won’t ever have to open multiple tabs.

Absolutely stunning. few feedbacks
- Now Add image has stopped working.
- Is it possible to add context menu in entries/notes list to open in tab ? cos even if i am browsing through entries it keeps openning tabs.
- for flickr and youtube,
* tool tip for youtube is in correct(it says add to flickr). same for extended menu.
* better browsing for personal images in flickr and youtube. may be picasa on the list:)
- scrolling in options can be avoided. can be made to fit within available pan. Use multiple lines/text area for timestamp and tags.
- close button for is not visible on linux (filed a bug for this)
overall it rocks…!!

Chris, I really like the idea. However, I think you may want to consider reusing the UI elements on the right for this purpose. I suspect that having several tabs open at once in scribefire will make it harder to use (of course, I can’t be sure until I use it!)
Of course, I’m not one of those “power users” who have lots of posts going at once. And if I do, I’m happy to “Save as Note” and open it up later.

These have since been fixed.
