Easier ways of finding specific page(s) in a section #49

Open ccicero opened 8 years ago

ccicero commented 8 years ago

It's still a challenge to find a particular page in a section, e.g., if you have a specimen and want to find the page that goes with the date the specimen was collected. Now it's hit or miss and random clicking to find the page you're looking for.

Adding the "Go to Page" helps but it would be more helpful to also include the total number of pages - e.g., "Go to Page ____ of XXXX" so you have some idea of the range of pages you need to look through.

Also, can we add a scroll button at the bottom of the thumbnails of pages? The first time you go to a section, you just see thumbnails with no scroll bar, and need to click on a thumbnail which will then move the set of thumbnails to the left. Not intuitive.

There may be other ways to improve this as well.
