Hi,
I'm not yet running Leopard and can't try out the OG 5 beta, so allow me to ask a question about its new functionality:
Does OG5 support a way to have named object styles?
For example, I know that in OG4 one can have access to recently object styles and even select objects that have the same styles. However, what I would find compelling to make OG more than just a "pretty face" (i.e. a tool to display information beautifully) would be a way to collect a set of style criteria under a certain "name" (e.g. delegated task, untested process, sub-market) and then be able to apply those styles to a group of objects. Then when I'm selecting things, I'm not selecting "all red rectangles with a blue border" but rather "open tasks."
It would be analogous to using a "body" or "heading" style in Word, rather than Times, 20pt, underline...
In my opinion, it would bring OG a step past information presentaiton and closer to information management.
Thanks,
Jeff
