Switch between modes

Stop me if this already exists, but it'd be great to have a way to switch between the "work offline" mode and the wikibase without exiting the application and restarting.

You might consider "labelling" the WWM (ie the globe)

Interface options

Does it make sense to try a few different interfaces or interface options? For example, a GUI without the "frames" on the left-hand side, that simultaneously has only a magnified Navigation toolbar present.

% View Option

Can we add a % view option (like MS Word/Excel) in the program window?

Create a "Zoom" Button

Perhaps you could create a "zoom" button that automatically changes the grid/axis settings in equal increments. This would free me from having to go into the menu whatsoever.

Default Time to 60 Seconds

The default time setting for the time function is currently 15 seconds. I'd suggest that you set the default to 60 seconds, to give people more time to absorb the emerging patterns, without them having to know/learn that the time can be adjusted.

Time Function Jumps

Submitted by Guest on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 15:34

I've noticed that when I use the time function, and when I pause it to observe a particular point in time, the "picture" automatically jumps forward to the next data point (usually the beginning of the next year), and this is somewhat annoying, as I am stopping the time flow specifically to see a pattern that has passed, and thus leaping forward like that defeats the purpose of my pausing it.

Bugs, Fatal Errors, and Clicking

Submitted by Guest on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 15:27

Bug-wise, I ran into a bunch of fatal errors. I've deduced that most of those errors are my fault, either by asking the software to do things that it is not designed to do or by my clicking patterns. In terms of click patterns, I found that the program is much more stable when I click and double click methodically. When I click as if I was on the web, the program crashes much more often. At least it seems this way. Perhaps you can adjust this, I'm not sure?
