improve the categories interface

[wordmuse]

Hi,

I think that the current categories functions in URP35
are superb.

But the interface is really clunky relative to the function.

I'd like to suggest that instead of a dialog which lists the
categories in relatively large fonts, that you provide
an interface that shows all the categories in a highly
scannable format - a kind of "smooth surface."

I've rendered an image for you to consider here:

As you can see, I envision color coding for hierarchies,
but that's just a nice-to-have. The real meat of it
is that I can see lots of categories reading left to
right and so forth. Very easy to scan. Very easy to
select those I want.

And then in the second part of the drawing, if one
or more categories is associated with an item, then
a *persistent* tooltip appears showing maybe the
first 2 or 3 categories , and double-clicking the tooltip
opens the smooth surface to let me see and select
anew.

Doable? Thoughts?

This would help me manage my information even
easier than I do now.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Bal
