Description James Crook 2010-01-28 15:16:53 UTC

* JC: Possible solutions include moving export next to save-as in menu and navigation from save-as to export.
    * GA: Navigation solution probably too confusing; naming/ordering of menu items, and (possibly) tooltips over menus or status bar indications probably more productive. See this Forum topic. Issue is more than cosmetic because of support overhead answering "how can I join the .au files I saved so I can play them in iTunes"; and because greater prominence of "export" would reduce the risks from over-reliance on projects. These are fragile in novice users' hands, and occasionally unreliable due to not-understood bugs in the code.

Changed type to 'review', as we are still deciding on what to do.  See URL

*** STEPS ADDED ***

DEVEL-FIX MADE with the many menu changes.

Comment 3 Gale Andrews 2017-05-29 13:36:20 UTC

We can call it WORKSFORME pending user reaction to the menus.
