I have been experimenting with programs, pages, etc. and importing into the reader. There are a few usabililty things that make swapping over to Pleco that I think could provide a more smooth utilization (to the extent it is desired to support). In no particular order.
1) Landscape mode - When in landscape, and start Pleco, the splashscreen comes up portrait, then the initial screen for Pleco (e.g., Reader screen) - then everything rotates. I am wondering if there is a way to have Pleco sense that it is being initiated in landscape and start in that mode.
2) Pasteboard Importing 1 - I have the reader set to kick off if there are 4 or more characters in the pasteboard when starting Pleco. No problem there, except for the points highlighted in (1) above. However, when I have 1 or 2 or 3 characters in the pasteboard, it starts in the dictionary, with the following issues: (1) the landscape issues noted above, and (2) the dictionary comes up ready to enter text. So if its in HWR mode, the whole screen gets taken up with the writing area. Similar for the keyboard, if that is the initial starting point. My thought is that when starting the program with info in the pasteboard that kicks off in the dictionary, that the program should start with a display mode, not like it is ready to input more text.
3) Pasteboard Importing 2 - I would like to see a pasteboard refresh in the reader. I know this has been requested before with some concern about providing a feature that is apparently for jailbroken phones. However, with there already a "write to clipboard" feature, I am figuring, why not a "read to clipboard" feature.
4) Hidden Bar - When utlizing the reader, i would like to see at least the bottom bar disappear. Then, if someone wants to use the bottom bar, they tap the top bar and it reappears. I have seen other programs handle the bar in this way, and it handles pretty naturally. It provides the benefit of not accidently hitting an icon on the bottom bar when you are simply reading through an extended document, as well as providing the additional benefit of more screen real estate for the text.
