Hello,

In menu management, if you make a right click on a page, you have a pop up menu with Edit, New Page, Copy, Delete

Would be nice to add 'Preview' menu item to quickly jump to it.

Thanks.

What exactly should happen by clicking "Preview"? When you click "Edit" you get more or less the same result as ImpressPages is famous of its in-place content editing. You see pages as they are, only on top there is additional block of administration tools.

Nevertheless I also think that preview could be useful. It feels against nature pressing "edit" when you want to preview.

It's because I screw up some kind of menus.

Using the public site of course does not work as the links are bad.

I had to 'preview' the page so I can check visually, mouse over and look at status bar, etc... which links still need to be corrected.

Without doing this, I would have to open and check each part of the code/definition... which is very long, Edit, Edit Block, check link by link or with Html Editor, Cancel... Next block...

Without a Previous popup menu, I must go to Edit which is -slow- then only Preview.


Anyway, I think that popup menu is useless. I discovered it by -mistake-, not very user-friendly/obvious.

The 4 icons are above, it's faster. Edit is missing in the icons.
