Just FYI, some of the large NIMAS files-over 2 MB-seem to just about bring down
most of the software that I've tried to use. This is mostly because it's XML
and has over 1500 images. I really can't imagine that many people are going to
need multiple documents open at once-at least not in our context at APH. My
suggestion is to make as much progress as possible getting a single document
interface fully developed. Maybe keep the MDI framework but disable it for now.
I was able to load and translate the 2.2 MB book with BB so that's a good sign.
BB doesn't display images yet does it? That would be an important feature to
add since describing the images is a lot of what transcribers need to do.
Just a suggestion.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the MDI isn't working correctly at
all. Here are three major problem I have found so far.
When you have multiple documents open closing one document closes all documents.
If you have a document open with text and Braille, then loading a second
document with text and Braille won't load the Braille.
If you have several documents open and try to save one of the documents, BB
saves the wrong document. I tried to save document 2. It presented me with the
name of document 1. I thought it just was confused about the name so I changed
it to the name of document 2 and saved it. When I brought up document 2 again
it was actually the text of document 1.
