It should not be possible to change the name of the
original view in any collection. In version 1.3.3 That view
name can be changed.

    The specs were to make it unchangeable.

    Still a problem in WordCorr 2.

    Need clarification on spec. Is it only the name of the view
    that should be unchangeable, or should all fields be
    uneditable? The original view allows changing all of the
    fields including threshold and the member varieties.

    Each collection has a default view called "Original." That view
    cannot be deleted, and its name cannot be changed. I
    recommend that working views be derived from it; but it's also
    possible (and in the case of imports from WordSurv,
    necessary because they usually come in already annotated)
    to use it as a working view as well. So the fields in the view
    are editable; only the name is not. The specification that view
    names in a collection must be unique prevents duplicate
    name already. And the Original view itself cannot be removed.

    Sorry for the terse reply to a question that really had several
    parts.

    fixed in CVS for 2.1.0 branch.

    These fixes take into account the prospect of future
    localization of WordCorr. Thus, the Original view will
    always be named as "Original" in the database/xml exports,
    but when displayed to the user, "Original" may be a
    localized string.
