vvv has created a wonderful program for us that has more power than anything else I have seen for creating LRF files for the Sony Reader. The purpose of this posting is to share observations on its operation and perhaps make a great program even better.

For example, when I am editing the chapter titles of a book I will have the main window, the corrector window, and the element browser window open. Almost any editing action I perform in the main window results in the main window then being moved to a background process and element browser assuming the active position. To make another edit I must position the mouse pointer back in the main window and left click. It would be far easier (and faster) for me if the main window could remain the active window until I clicked in the element browser or corrector again.

Another issue is the handling of graphics. I recently formatted Franklin's Autobiography and this included ornate block letters as the first letter of the first word for each chapter. Regretfully BD placed these on their own line above the start of the paragraph. Is there a way to add inline graphic support to BD so that these could be shown as originally intended? Additionally, is there a way to format simple drop caps on their own without using graphic files. (I remember reading that there was something like this available in the LRS/LRF specification.)

OK, that's my two cents worth.
