[KimDaBa] Another Idea

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Sounds all like very good ideas, I'll put this thread in my to be considered 
in details folder. Currently I'm fighting all my kimdaba time trying to add 
an SQL backend - I really wonder if those hours will ever pay off, cross your 
fingers.

Cheers
Jesper.

| Say you have a picture with a new Person.
| Currently, you just type "Lea" <ENTER> in the "Persons" listbox and that's
| it, I love this simplicity and effectiveness.
| If you have to add clutter on this dialog, or if I have to enter the
| comment about this new person later, say in the browser, I would find it
| very boring.
|
| So I would recommand following rule :
| Type "Lea<ENTER>", you have a new keyword "Lea"
| Type "Lea : this is my girl<ENTER>", you get a new keyword "Lea" with a
| comment which begins after the semicolon, ie.  "this is my girl"
|
| Of course, the comment should be editable in the browser too.
|
|
| My 2 cents.
