Hi,
First off, thank you for fixing the dreadful update you perpetrated on your unsuspecting users. The Classic Elements should not have changed at all, and yet, there we were with that stupid tiny box to try to work with. So, thanks for fixing the editing window. BUT I was hoping you realized the grievous mistake in removing the shortcut buttons above the HTML view. I do not work in visual mode except on extremely rare occasions and it is extremely nice to have the few little shortcuts you had available in the text elements before. I create some things in html mode that is obliterated by switching to visual mode, so in particular the ability to insert media through a shortcut button was a beautiful thing. Otherwise, I’d have to go into the library, find the URL for the image I wanted to insert and code the entire thing. And no, I didn’t want to use the image element.
By the way, since we’re talking about images here, it would be wonderful if your image interface showed the URL to the image so we know when looking at the image, exactly which one it is as some images in the library may be very similar. File that under very nice to have, but not critical.
I feel like the changes were a HUGE STEP BACKWARD because adding the ability to give us full control at the element level meant removal of the faster method of working. I appreciate what you tried to accomplish, but the cost to the end user in removing/changing what we were used to was high.
Please add back the shortcuts to both the new Text elements and the classic text elements. I believe there were 4… Bold, Italic (not essential, I rarely used, but someone else may use them frequently), insertion of media and insertion of links. It save typing and aggravation.
Thanks.
