Re: Feature Request: line numbers
Well, Flo, just take a look at the books published by Oxford UP, Cambridge UP, Harvard UP, etc. etc., on English (or any other) Literature, Philosophy, Theology, History, Music etc. etc., and you'll see they all have indexes, and often rather elaborate ones. Indexes may be less common or in some cas...

Re: Indexing...
Ori, perhaps you don't remember anymore, but there was an ample discussion on this topic in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Six, in which you participated yourself. I would say: let's start from there …

Re: Feature Request: line numbers
Yes, Ori (or Eyal?) but that's what you already told us five (yes, five!) whole years ago. Now the time has really come to deliver!

Re: Track Changes and MS Word
Full-feature parity between Mellel and RTF would indeed be very welcome!

Re: The state of the Mellel (a road map of sorts)
I fully agree with Hans-Reinhard. Version 2.7 came out in september 2009, with the long desired picture placement within text but without its natural and indispensable complement, caption legend / text boxes. I did presume or hope then (together with others who noticed the same lacuna), that this fe...

Re: Free updates for life?
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear; so let me try to explain what I mean. And let me first say that I fully respect the strategy of lifetime free updates the Redlers have decided to follow, which I don’t intend to criticize in any way, and which I am not even allowed to to criticize in any way. It i...

Re: The state of the Mellel (a road map of sorts)
I fully agree with rpcameron. Track changes are undoubtedly an important feature, but a. track changes in Mellel without flawless communication with Word (which leaves much to be desired) is of limited interest; b. track changes without a comments feature are definitely incomplete. Like rpcameron, I...

Re: Free updates for life?
I fully agree with ahankinson. What I want is frequent updates, excellent service, continuous staff presence on the forum; for this, I would be very glad to pay every now and then an upgrade fee. But unfortunately, in recent years we have seen more or less the opposite. Free updates for life? Wouldn...

Re: Removing all notes from a document
Insert > Note > Edit Note Attributes. And then, under "Note stream", select the stream you want to eliminate, and press "X". That's all!

Re: In case of emergency…
I know that it’s Mellel’s policy not to announce new features and not to make promises until it’s certain that these features really work, and that these promises can be maintained. And as such, of course, this is a very honourable strategy. But this strategy can also be very counterproductive. When...

Re: In case of emergency…
Thanks, Eyal, for your answer. It's good to hear that you are alive and well, and that work on Mellel is going on. But: why this long silence? Why this complete absence of newsletters? Why this absence from the forum? Why again this slowing down of the development process? There is a whole community...

Re: In case of emergency…
For Mac-oriented scholarly writers who don't want to use Word (or Word-like applications like Open Office), there are only two alternatives to Mellel: Nisus and Papyrus. Both are good and have a wealth of features, but both also have a very similar shortcoming, which for many scholarly writers is un...

Re: In case of emergency…
Neither woud I, macula! This forum used to be a very lively place; but it isn't anymore. Ori Redler used to take part in discussions about all kinds of things; but now he clearly dedicates his time to other things. There used to be a periodic newsletter; but there isn't anymore. What a difference be...
