What would you like in a blog editor

Right, so you know that Qumana makes an offline-blog editor. You probably also know that a whole new version and approach is coming out June 13th. The question is then, what would you like in an offline editor?

Here are a few of mine:

Drag and drop (we have this)
Easy (ditto)
Publish to any type of blog (pretty much)
Categories, categories, categories (we're almost there)
Tweak post properties
Spell check before posting (spell check, yes, auto before posting, no)
Blog signatures
Tweak HTML
Easy Technorati tagging

There are a few others, but I've purposefully left a few off because I want to hear from you. I really do. And if you suggest a cool new feature first--or only person--and we put it in, I'm sure we'll do something special for you. Actually I know, since it's my job to keep you, Qumana users happy!

So comments, please!

I use and am happy with BlogJet - except for one thing: Picture alignment. Most of the blogs I post to are on SquareSpace. Inserting a graphic there lets you select (left, right, centered, etc.). If I post from BlogJet, I don't have that opportunity - and SquareSpace doesn't make it easy to correct.

Good font control would be nice, too.

I like this list of functionality. (And, of course, the many insights from the pro-blogger). One question: doesn't Qumana allow editing an entry for a blog, but not the blog itself? This begs the question about what is means to "edit a blog".

I would like it to work!
I have tried it in two macs (iBook and PowerBook) running Mac Os X 10.4.8 and I do not even get the set up blog panel! I think it would be nice if you could advice in your webpage that Qumana does not work in Mac Os X 10.4.8.

Cheers
