Please have a look at my 'public' comment :-))

Thanks for your feedback :-)

You can easily drag images directly onto the textview or add them by menu (Insert Image) - you can adjust the size if needed but of course you don't have the adjustmenst you know from Pages or Word :-)

When I drag graphics into the text view, I get the path of the graphic, not the graphic itself. Am I doing something wrong?

this does not work for every app - but when dragged from Finder it will (of course this does not work with every file format (.txt can't handle images - but .rtfd will)

You say you can adjust the image size. How? There seems to be no tool, item in the menus, inspector or toolbar to do this.

The manual really needs a rewrite to actually include the obvious, it says very little of any use. As does the Help.

Well - of course the manual points that out :-)

Just double click on image.

Thanks for the tip, I tried it, but it is not at all Mac like to do it this way.

Also I have just been through the manual 3 times again, beyond the multiple times I tried before and I can still see no reference how to handle graphics, let alone resize them.

Just a few points about manual writing.

1. Break up the subject matter into logical units

2. Detail the interface as it appears on screen and in the menus.

3. Make sure your headings don't get orphaned from their subject matter on the next page.

4. Supply an index.

5. Use a designer/writer if you can afford one. One who can see it with fresh eyes.

6. Lastly don't use your software if it is not up to it.

Drag and drop and directly click the object is not Mac-like?

And you would pay the (heavy) difference if I get other people on board to do something that only is needed by one or two out of thousands not having any problems?

Of course the app itself and and also the manual could be better, thats all a process - the first version even had no manual and this one really is much better than in earlier versions…

And the next version the app is better and the manual etc.

But even the best manual could not prevent that sometimes people don't look and don't try before they write comments about thinks supposed not to work or present, even if they all are there and working as expected :-)

(BTW - the manual even has an own chapter about resizing images with own screenshot about that)

You are making me wonder if there is ANOTHER manual that I am not aware of.

I had no intention of making this confrontational, in fact bar this and the lack of columns there is a lot to like in Schreiben.

If you like I can help with the better manual, no charge, I am curious to see how it all hangs together.

As to the graphics resizing.

Standard Mac interface would have you click once on the graphic, which would then show a box with handles on the corners which you then drag to the size you want, interactively. Your implementation with inline scroll bars and a slider that needs to update, is really odd and clumsy.

May I suggest you listen to the Late Night Cocoa podcast "Margins, Metrics & Mac Look and Feel with Uli Kusterer". Programmers often aren't as multi-skilled as they think, and user interface design is an art as well as a science.

could you please send me such a document?
could you open it correct with TextEdit or Pages?

Good grief. I wish you could tell us what company you work for, so I could write to them and get one of these letters back... :)
