I'm not a big fan of step wizards thus I'm more into proposal 3. See other comments below.
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. JV.
