<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I think from a user point of view the
north arrow is not considered to be an image so having a
separate north-arrow item makes good sense. I find the current
method of adding a north arrow confusing as it requires the
user to know the following:<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">(a) North arrows are not added by
clicking "Add Arrow"</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">(b) North arrows are added by
clicking "Add Picture"</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">(c) North arrows are in the "Search
Directories" section of the image properties but this section is
collapsed by default so the user has to know that they must open
this section and then scroll to the north arrows</div>

<p>I have no problem with the "Add Picture" approach but it would be
better to have the "Search Directories" displayed by default. It's
not at all obvious (surely not to a new user) that you have to
expand that panel in order to find the north arrow images.</p>

<p>Hi Hugo,</p>
<p>I was initially also puzzled by the fact there is no
"north-arrow" item for the layout. But if you think about it a
bit longer, than you realize, that it is just as efficient
adding an image and synchronize the rotation to one chosen
map, than it is to add a north-arrow, choose an image and
synchronize it with a chosen map.</p>
<p>Do you really think, having a separate item for north-arrow
is more efficient? How many clicks do you save by having a
separate item?</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>
