Small problem, though:

1600x1200.

I suppose they are ok, although in the longer version there could be
textual links as well, IMO.

I have never been so good at UI and web design. I can report problems,
but I don't necessarily have good ideas for solutions. :)

Don't worry, that's pretty normal :)

Chris,
I'm liking the ability to see more entries all at once! Seeing all the
categories on the left is great too. Selecting 50% scaling does a nice
job on Firefox in Windows. (Note, I'm also at 1024x768). I do find the
small icons intuitive - i for information, a magnifier for a larger view
and a downward pointing arrow for download all seem pretty standard to
me.
Right now clicking on the thumbnail seems to do the same thing as one of
the icons - specifically the download button. Minor changes I think
might be nice would be to change the function of the "i" icon to bring
up a separate smaller pop-up window (did I say that?) with the full size
thumbnail and description and another download link. That and maybe
change the function of clicking on the original thumbnail to bringing up
something like the full size image in the same window captioned with the
description and another download link. This way everything you click
gets a slightly different result to fit more tastes.
I do get the over-written text if I list with text, similar to Warp's
screenshot.
Charles

Ah whoops. I hadn't scrolled down enough in the Firefox version to notice
that and IE handled it ok. I've fixed that so it should be ok in both now.

ok now that resolution is beyond what I can test :-)
Is the text showing up ok at that resolution? I have used a small font.

ok. I've added textual links to the 'Images and Text' mode.

ok. Thanks for the feedback.

At the moment it brings up that information by specifying a 'target', so IE
puts it into a separate window and Firefox opens it in a new tab (can anyone
tell me what Opera etc. does with it). Do you think it would be better to
show a sort of overlay on the same page? This may be possible with some CSS
jiggery pockery rather than resorting to JavaScript (I'm trying to make this
view JavaScript-free).

I may be able to use CSS to bring up an overlay when the mouse pointer is
hovered over a thumbnail, but without JavaScript it might be difficult to
control the position so that it stays in the visible part of the screen. I'm
also not sure how well other (e.g older) browsers and other platforms handle
that sort of thing. I'll dig into the manuals.

ok. I think I've nailed that one now if you'd like to double check that for
me.

Chris B.

The cells are now scaling according to the text (even if text size is
increased by the browser), so it works a lot better now.

Btw, in the 'image and text' mode the "more info" link simply links
to the exact same 'image and text' (but without anything else).
Wouldn't it be better if it linked to the (possible) html file submitted
alongside the object, as in the normal index page?

Yes. I think that is better. It now links to the html file contributed with
the object if one exists. Otherwise it displays the standard page like
before.

It's now a button.

Will it be possible in the future to add an object to both the Area of Interest
and Content Type categories?
Also, will it be possible to modify an existing entry without having to fill out
all the fields and upload files from scatch? Sometimes you just want to fix a
typo, or update a file without changing its description.
