Done.

Ah, I see. In German it'd be a bit clearer because nouns
would be spelled uppercase as opposed to verbs.

Sure, great ! Show them a screenshot, perhaps ?

Aha, only when reading the whole paragraph carefully did I
get the subtle catch. Done.

Not with a clear conscience. This column lists problems, not
episodes.

Done.

Exactly which dialog do you mean ? If you are talking about
the one with "Enter a short working name ..." inside it then
that's actually what it does: add a new episode.

Let's ask Rogerio as a user.
Ok , I don´t see any problem with this, but save the old applet, if something goes wrong :))

Done.

That's right.

No, it also acts on Request (RFE), start, end, and type.

Rogerio ?
I preffer the way it is ... it is easier to scan the list of AOE to remember things that to scan it to see how many times she called in from telefone

However, that'll make a list of encounters down the left:
1.1.2003: in praxis
2.1.2003: in praxis
4.1.2003: in praxis
6.1.2003: home visit
9.1.2003: in praxis
16.1.2003: in praxis
EXACLY !
which is less informative when quickly scanning down the
list than if the AOE is shown, no ? Otherwise one would have
to click each and every encounter to find a particular one
(despite the fact that the encounter tooltip holds all the
encounter details anyway ;-)
The logic is:
AOE if exists
else RFE if exists
else type of encounter
Rogerio ?
Nice logic ... seems good to me ...
