This is, partially, a continuation of Introduction thread from ER5 OPL corner section!

So, the question is about the basic interface and structure of View+.
Has Note+ module overgrown his parent, as Leo put it methaphorically?
Is Note+ the main part,or better to say, the interface to View+?
Is it confusing that N+ is positioned just as a module within V+, and isn't, necessarily, raised immediatelly upon the start of V+?

Is the present double behaviour (split personality) of V+ confusing for users, especially novices?
At one hand, there is a transparent V+ interface&appearance and on the other, classical File Manager interface - Note+!

What about Browser+? Is it redundant now or a good companion to Note+?
Are the users aware enough about the whole set (more than dozen) of specialized file viewers?
Is the way of integration of modules and their interactivity known&comprehensive to users?

Finally, I find it quite normal that nobody (including me) uses all V+ features, but I hope that, at least, users are aware of all it's capabilities.
Once again, I'd like to point out that the main strenght of V+, in my opinion and it was the starting impetus, is the high level of different module's integration.

I first needed to translate all those unbelievable difficult words you are using Smile
My answers are short because I do not really know what to say (NOT because of my english Very Happy )

Don't think so. But it's a very important feature of View+!

No! I mostly use View+ for viewing files, espacially ZIPs.

Modul: Since N+ only can be closed with Ctrl+E instead of Esc it seems to be more than a module Wink
I like it as it is now. It should be coming to foreground with a hotkey, as default.

Yep, I needed time to check what both parts really do.

I never used B+ because I do not really like the interface of Browser+...

At the beginning I tried View+ with many different file types, because I didn't know, what file type are possible to read.

Not even the best translator could really help me here Smile

Ist der Weg der Integration von Modulen und ihrer Zwischentätigkeit bekannt umfassend Benutzern?

But I'll try to answer:
No, not even me knows it.

Yep, you are totally right!

"Yes" for me.

Let's say that V+ is not simple for novices in any case...

I do not use it at all...

And I agree with all the answers off Jonas except

It's a very complicated program in the way that almost everything is possible. That means there's to much to learn end to look for. Even Edo forgot some features Wink It's always a compromise between as much as possible and as easy as possible and unfortunaly they don't go together. Nevertheless I like the program as it is: multifunctional, everthing seems possible although it costs a lot of time to figure it out. Fine to me. Searching fot options let you see more unexpected things: the best way to learn. I know there will be a lot off people using just one or two modules, but so what: everybody is happy. This forum is to teach one some more possibilities . Great. Keep going.
