OK, here's a big amount of feedback for you to chew on: * You can't double-click on an image file (which should load Translator and then display the image) until Translator's been installed on the icon bar first. * You can't display 2 or more pictures when running a single copy of Translator. * You allow 2 or more Translators to be run (am I the only one who shuts down old copies when new ones are run ? Is this against Acorn guidelines ?). * The use of the LEFT button to bring up a menu is a little fishy to me and certainly against Acorn guidelines. * You ship Translator with "Auto mode" option enabled, which I find infuriating because I view most pictures in MODE 15. Yes, I know you can change and save the options, but a lot of lazy people (me included ?) won't bother. I hope these suggestions don't sound as nasty as they did when I read them back - it's a brilliant program, John, keep up the good work ! Richard K.
