[Evergreen-catalogers] 3.5 demo Item attributes

[Mary Llewellyn]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the clarification. I wish I could have been present at the
meeting. I found moments during the recording where I wanted to join into
the discussion.

On the point of the tabbed entry of the volume/copy editor instead of the
show/hide buttons, the XUL interface allows for a setting for the Unified
Volume/Copy Editor. We haven't used separate windows since that feature
became available, and my first reaction was "oh, this is a big step
backward."  If nothing else, if others like or at least don't mind having
to go from one tab to another for the volume/copy entry, I hope the option
for a unified v/c interface is provided for those of us who don't like it.

Thanks,

Mary
