Hi Guillaume,
They are not separate proposals, just one, but it looks a bit different
when it's fixed at bottom, versus in its position. Just wanted to make that
clear.

Hi Caty,
Very happy to see progress in this area, this is a real pain to scroll
to the
bottom of the document to save it, and there is a long time it is
affecting us.
However, I am not really happy with your current
proposal. I found the
text area for the version summary way too small for the
purpose.
Beginner users sometimes don't know what that is for. Somebody asked me to
remove it all together :) you think it's too small :P
It should
IMO stay on a separate line in order to be large
enough. Since this not
always useful, it might, however, be collapsed somehow in certain
circumstances.
Currently it is on a separate line. I tried to integrate everything in a
single line, that will be always visible, although I agree we have many
functionalities (autosave, summary, minor, preview, etc.) and they look a
bit crowded.
I also wonder if just having some buttons on the top
in addition to the
bottom, wouldn’t be simpler and as efficient, even if the top
feature is
limited (just save / save&view).
Usually save is a the bottom. Still the same view will be also in Full
Screen and the top area is already taken by the CkEditor controls, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/fullScr…
Thanks,
Caty
It might also work with your fixed bottom
UI, that might also be more limited than what you
can do by scrolling.
I hope these are useful comments. I am also
curious to see other
opinions on this important feature.
For me, the issue with the always-on-bar is that it takes up space and
thus reduces the available vertical space for editing content. Thus I
find
it interesting to have it on only one line and
also to only have it at
the
bottom and not repeat it at the top. I’d really
not like to see it at the
top.
Thanks
