Our most recent release now has “Edit Old Posts”. And I for one agree that we need to give the user the ability to diable, or rid oneself forever, of the “Powered by Qumana” signature. We are struggling with the issue of how best to find out who / how many are actually using it more than a “try-once-or-twice” because it will take (like almost any app) a change in working-with-info habits to create regular users .. and yes, an ideal design should make it so easy and enjoyable that the change in habits should be welcomed.

Some of my colleagues believe that the “Powered by … ” is useful in finding who is using it … I’m not so sure. Many people may delete it, and I often wonder if the annoyance is sufficientto be a detriment to its regular use. What do you think ?

We are working on improving the way(s) a subsequent version deals with the html issues.

We continue to work on making it better and more usable. Any additional suggestions you may have will be welcome

“If you want to start writing a post from scratch, just double-click on the DropPad”

That is exactly what I was getting at when I said there’s no quick way to start a new post from the Editor, i.e. the ‘all new posts need to be created from the DropPad’ part :).

If someone simply decided to blog an entry without opening up the DropPad (as I did once), they can’t quickly create a new Editor window without interaction with the DropPad or returning to the Editor shortcut in the Start menu (or wherever they placed a shortcut).

I actually listed the multiple Editor windows as a strong point, so I’m well aware you can have more than one open – it’s the fact that there’s no way to start a new one from the Editor window I see as a potential weak point (and of course, the potential window clutter – but that can fall into the user management realm).

I hope that’s a little more clearly put. Of course, I may be the only person who sees it that way though ;)

A specific point … re: your Also, there’s no quick way to start a new post from the Editor – all new posts need to be created from the DropPad which opens a new Editor window.

I’m not sure that this is correct. If you want to start writing a post from scratch, just double-click on the DropPad and voila .. the editor is open .. just start writing and when you’re done … post.

You can have multiple editor windows open at any given time .. 3 or 5 or 10 or 20 .. which might address, albeit maybe a bit awkwardly, your particular working style of rapid posts in succession.

I’ll download the latest version and update!

As for the other recommendations, we are working on all these points.

Please feel free to e-mail me. I’d love to listen to all your feedback.
