The user would be forced to use the mouse in order to see the preview.
Yes and I don't see how it could be different in proposals 3) and 4),
displaying images in the tree ?
- as a user I
prefer to see all options to understand where I'll find
the feature I'm looking for
s/user/power user/
The WYSIWYG addresses power users also.
I'm just saying that Vincent is not exactly the average user here :)
- it's one click less
IMHO an extra click is only a problem if the user has to think where
to click and why to click.
I agree that 2 or more extra clicks are a problem but only one, with
the action button always at the very same place, no.
What I find sometimes annoying is going back and forth through a wizard.
I admit a wizard fills more secure the first few times it's being used,
See ! :)
but for me it can get annoying the more I'm using
it.
Of course having a wizard with a lot of mandatory steps would be a
pain but there's only 2 of them here.
There's a "pro" I have forgotten in the list :
Having those 2 steps is a good thing considering that we'll use the
same dialog for insertion / deletion. When you'll edit a
link/image/etc you'll first see the options dialog and won't have to
load/see the wiki tree. Of course you'll be able to go back to the
first step but in most of the cases (imo) you won't have to.
