Expand/contract option for “More” functions in Write panel: I would like to see a convenient check box under the “More” section of the Write panel that lets you indicate whether to keep the More functions expanded (in view) or not (collapsed). The tick box should be the first control under the More header and not in view when functions are collapsed. A plugin seems overkill to provide this simple option in context. (If this is not possible, then the default should be expanded and a plugin should be used — for those who want it — to collapse the More functionality.

I was just self-reminded about my “Advanced Options” section being displayed in the Write panel. I’m currently using Wilshire’s rss_admin_show_adv_opts to do this, but it would make more sense to have a check box for this one too, consistent as described with the one noted above. I, and others, could then run with one less plugin, though that’s not really the point. The point is to put this simple option in context where it makes sense to have it.

I’d prefer to simply remember the last state, either as a cookie (per-user) or as a hidden preference (per-site, behaves like the current plugin solutions). No user interface at all is even better than any cleverly placed checkbox.

Re: Two admin-side requests

Eliminate the checkbox is better still. The main objective being to make it possible to manage the states (and eliminate the plugin). :)

Re: Two admin-side requests

r3093 contains a first cut on this for all toggle panes on the “write” tab. Cross-browser feedback is definitely welcome (I think it will work with Firefox, Chrome, Safari 3, IE 7, Konqueror 4; won’t work with Konqueror 3.5).

Re: Two admin-side requests

Seems to work OK on Safari 2 too. Nice feature.
