I think that should work now, but without a confirmation dialog? You =20= can also drag a vCard from the author view (the picture) to Finder/=20 Address Book if you want to add an entry for that contact. Unless =20 you have personal contact with many of your authors, the address book =20= view won't seem terribly useful, but I think the ability to normalize =20= author names is helpful (as long as you check its output). -- Adam > In the next build hiding the address book view will stick. > > Christiaan > > On 28 Nov 2005, at 1:42 PM, Simon Spiegel wrote: > >> Hi Adam, >> >> I use the latest build (153) but I don't really understand what =20 >> the author view does (or should do).
