Hi Bruce (and everyone), I'm usually reluctant to suggest new "convenience" features for the software, because what might be convenient for me on one task might just clutter up the software for someone else. But here's an idea I think might be generally useful: Athena should have some way of memorizing common plot options. In other words, I'd like some way of making a single-click or key shortcut for, e.g.," Emin = -10, Emax = +400, mu(E)=on, background=on, plot single-spectrum E." I find when I'm reducing a lot of data I'm spending a lot of time changing all the options back and forth between looking at pre- and post-edge lines, derivative spectra, backgrounds, etc., particularly since I prefer a different energy range for each. I'm agnostic on the form the saved shortcut should take, though, which is one reason I'm posting to the list rather than just emailing you. My best idea is to have the shortcuts listed under another tab under "Plotting options," but that's starting to look a little crowded, and I already feel responsible for the "Ind" tab (which is very useful to me--thanks!). :) I'm also agnostic as to whether these shortcuts should be global to all projects (as if they were a "setting") or not. --Scott Calvin Sarah Lawrence College
