I too prefer the new compose, my only gripe is the unnecessary collapsing of attaching things other than files on the hard drive. The thing I attach most often is an image at a web address, to do so I have to hover the +, click "insert photo", select the web address option, paste in the web address and then click ok. Far too many steps.
- piyush_soni 13y agoAgreed here, same with me. I might end up writing a greasemonkey script for the same soon (quickly insert image via url). If someone is more motivated than me, feel free to do it and share :).
- jaredmcateer 13y agoYou inspired me. Here's a first, hacky, iteration to at least remove one step (function showMenuInterval() { Array.prototype.forEach.apply(document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Insert more menu"]'), [function(menu) { menu.style.display='none'; }]); Array.prototype.forEach.apply(document.querySelectorAll('.aZ > .wL.wM'), [function (menu) { menu.classList.add('wN'); menu.classList.remove('wM'); menu.style.width = '186px'; }]); setTimeout(showMenuInterval, 50); }());
- mythz 13y agoyeah the toolbar is annoying, I have to navigate 2 menus to quote some text. I'm guessing it's optimized for non-power users, but it should at least be customizable, or better yet learn which icons are most used and bring them to the main toolbar.
- Draiken 13y agoI think these are completely intentional. Additional steps made for the few that use that stuff, and hiding out the complexity for the big majority that doesn't want that. I don't think they would ever create anything without a decent reasoning behind it. May not be your reasoning, but there is one.
