Wish List - Suggestions for Improvements to FM

[edunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

How about the following:

Currently, a text inset's conditions are controlled by the container document's
settings.

How about an upgrade that allows you to specify the condition settings of each
text inset individually. This would allow the same inset to be imported several
times in a document with different settings for each instance. Have something
like the table ruling control where some are 'from table' others are overrides.
Each condition would then either be 'from container' or be set to show or hide.
This should also prevent conditions from populating the container document. The
only time a condition would populate the container is if it was set to be "from
container". The removal of the inset should then automatically remove the
condition from the container.

Add the possibility of having the same be true for variables. They either pick
up the values from the container or keep the values from the inset file. Same
type of dialog as for the conditions. This would allow global and local
variables. Maybe even allow the variable to be defined in the inset settings,
which would give the flexibility of three possibilities: from inset, from
container, or defined value. If the variable was defined in the settings or in
the inset, FM would not populate the container file with the variable
definition.

Just add those to my growing list of wishes.....
