Yes but I mean, in a clean core image, on first method save it asks for the initials, this is stored on the initials inst var of the singleton Author.
Yes. But better would be to ask for the name of the author instead of its initial.
But on the World Menu, the set author name, it stores (in a firstname.lastname format) the value entered in the name inst var
It does the right thing.
Is the user only asked for name (forcing a format like firstname.lastname) and the initials are calculated accordingly?
initials cannot be calculated for a given name. The domain range of initials does not range. A simple example, the initials I adopted are 'ab'. Avi Bryant uses 'avi'.
Are the initials doomed to disappear, and the only interface will be the name (and possibly the email and other fields mentioned) to identify a person? This means to modify all the senders to initial methods and point them to name methods. With the time, the initials inst var will be droped from the Author class.
Probably yes. Another great things will be to store this on the filesystem. This is really boring to enter your name each time you open a new image.
