Add configurable (per-diary) universal author
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
Davo Smith notes (accurately) that most diaries will have only a single
author, so having that Author text field widget is a waste of screen real
estate. Allowing per-entry authors is intentional, though, and is a
feature that I use myself. But we should allow that field not to appear if
the user so desires.

How about this:
* Add a "Diary" Menu (greyed when no diary is loaded) with an "Set Author..."
item
and associated dialog. The dialog box would look something like:
(*) Use a single author: [authorname ]
( ) Allow per-entry authors for this diary
[OK] [CANCEL]
* The default should be to *not* enable per-entry authors, but to instead use a
global author of "" (the empty string).
* We can store (optionally) a global author attribute (<diary author=""> ?) in
the
data files themselves (mapped to the value of the textbox in the new dialog
box).
* And, of course, we only show the Author entry form field when per-entry
authors are
enabled for a given diary.
