Re: Improving re-arranging items in table views on OS X
Possibly, but that could cause more confusion. In your example, rows 7, 12, 22, 30, 42 and 56, if moved up one would then become rows 6,7,8,9,10 and 11. That makes send for drag & drop as you are plucking them out and then inserting them into a specific place but for moving up/down a row at a time it doesn't make sense as the behaviour changes depending on if you move up or down eg what if you want to group them all from row 56 but move them up? What could make sense is a separate command to let you group all the selection at the first or last item in the selection. I might look into that down the line as it could be useful in cases similar to your example. Thanks Martin On 28 Jul 2009, at 8:56 pm, Chris Blouch wrote: > Makes sense.

Re: Improving re-arranging items in table views on OS X
So it depends on what you expect most folks will be doing. I'm assuming that most folks will pick a disparate set of rows to take some action as a whole. In the case of moving, I would think it's to group them together in some other spot in the list, not to re-interleave them up higher. Of course assumptions are always subjective :) CB Martin Pilkington wrote: > Possibly, but that could cause more confusion.

Re: Improving re-arranging items in table views on OS X
Well, I expect most people will be moving continuous selections. Non- continuous selections are a special case really. I think in terms of simplifying things it would be better to move the grouping into another interaction as opposed to putting 2 interactions into one command. There could be 4 combinations of the interactions but in one command there is only room for 2 of those combinations. I have to say, trying to design this has given me an new appreciation of just how good a job the programmers and designers at Apple have done with OS X in general.

Re: Opera 10 beta
Nice to find another accessible web browser since Firefox is still working on it. First thing I tried was to jump between headers as this is an easy way to get to the main story on a news page. I tried this on news.aol.com and after about 5 header jumps I found the first story. On Opera all it did was beep. If I enable Opera's single key shortcuts I can jump from header to header via the S and W keys, but I shouldn't have to learn another set of keys just to use their browser.

questions regarding safari and vo
Hi all. I'm new to this world of mac, and I like it a lot. Have played with my macbook for a week now and so far I'm happy with it. There are a few things I want to ask about regarding safari and vo. 1 I went to apple online shop to order upgrade program for snow leopard. Everything went ok until my shopping cart show up and it was emty. The site said that I need to have cookies enabled so I went to preferences in safari and cookies was enabled. Tried again with same result. I tried a few times before I gave up and went online on my windows box and placed the order there, and it worked. Something must have happend anyway on the mac because I ended up with 7 copies in the cart. I changed to 1 and placed the order. What can be the problem here? Any ideas? Why didn't it work with safari and vo? That was question one. Now to question two: I use bloglines to read my rss feeds and it works fine on linux and windows but on mac with safari and vo it behaves little strange. I select for example all about symbian to read the rss feed, I go to the first heading and it says the title all about symbian correct. Next heading is the description of the feed and it also work fine. But here with the headings for each newsstory don't tell me the title for the story, it only sais "site: all about symbian". And so on for all newsstories in the feed. Why on earth and how can I fix that? It works fine on linux and windows. So, the last question for this time, On for example lioncourt.com and some other blogs vo says "permalink" before the title of the articles on the site. It's not a big issue but I wonder if thats correct or if something can be done to get rid of this. I use the latest software updates on my system. So thats all for me at the moment. Sorry for the long post but I want to get the questions out there. All the best.

Re: Improving re-arranging items in table views on OS X
Implementing good keyboard controls is pretty difficult and you're tackling one the toughest interactions in GUIs today. Good luck and post when you've got something to play with. If you find it useful, about 25 folks got together to try and come up with best practices for keyboard controls on web widgets. While applications have more freedom on keys to use, the same functionality needs to be addressed. http://dev.aol.com/dhtml_style_guide CB Martin Pilkington wrote: > Well, I expect most people will be moving continuous selections. > Non-continuous selections are a special case really.

Re: Alternatives to Mobile me
Alex, I agree that Dropbox seems like a pretty good alternative to IDisk. I'm not creasy about the floating window that comes up at start-up though. I'm wondering if you have found a way to access the network tab in the preferences. I've been unable to do so. Thanks.

Re: Query regarding using aliases
Dear Esther, Thank you for these steps regarding aliases. I indeed thought that it should be the case: i.e. one should be able to vo+arrow to the "from" button and there choose the alias one wishes. However, the difficulty is that the one I've created doesn't seem to feature. My main .me alias is listed but the other ones are not. I've just subscribed to a news letter using my alias - for argument's sake - s...@me.com, and I have just received a confirmation e-mail from the news letter website. I tried to reply to it as an exercise but my alias doesn't appear in the "from" list. It's strange.

Re: Query regarding using aliases
Simon, Have you tried putting your alias in to email field of the acount/info panel? If it is set up on the server, this should enable it to show up in the list. You just want to separate it from your other address with a cama. On Jul 29, 2009, at 3:47 PM, Simon Cavendish wrote: > > Dear Esther, > > Thank you for these steps regarding aliases.

Re: Query regarding using aliases
Simon, I just added a list of aliases separated by comas in the acount/info email field and I'm getting them in the "to" list in the new message pain. HI can't use them of course as I don't have them on the server. owever, I think it will do it for you if you make sure you are sinking your email settings. I neglected that before because I was thinking that it only sync between computers. However, it occurred to me that it is also syncing with the on-line mail app. You would be doing me a small favor if you try it and let me know if it works as I'm trying this out at the moment. As I stated before, aliases aren't available to trial members. Thanks. On Jul 27, 2009, at 9:58 AM, Simon Cavendish wrote: > > Dear Listers, > > I've created a new alias under my .me account.

Re: connecting victor Stream to a Mac
Hi Chris, I appreciate your trying to help me connect my STream to virtual Windows XP. In case it makes any difference, I can connect the Stream just fine on the Mac side, so that means there's probably nothing wrong with my stream, my cable, or the USB port.

Finder warning dialogs not speaking
Hi, I moved a portable drive while copying some items to it, and it got disconnected. When I tried to do other things with Finder, I got warning messages saying the operation couldn't be completed. This would be fine, except that the warning dialogs didn't speak, nor did the buttons needed to deal with them. The only reason I know they were there is because my sighted husband helped me with them. Is there anything I can do to make these types of dialog boxes speak should I run into a similar situation in the future?

Say All
Hi, When I am interacting with text in an e-mail message or a website, I move by word, line or character, and type VO-A, reading begins after the last word or character I read. However, if I am reading a document in textEdit or other places where it's a real edit field, VO-A always starts from the top instead of from where I was reading when I invoked it. Is there something I can do to make VO-A read from where I am in this situation as it does when I'm interacting with text?

Re: connecting victor Stream to a Mac
so let me ask you this: when you connect the stream, do you hear the hardware inserted sound? reason i'm asking, i didn't have trouble doing this. the first time it didn't work at all. second time it worked fine. third time was same as first time. I am guessing the stream uses a different mass storage driver. I am going to ask someone from hw that i know about this tomorrow.
