Additional option to preview with cuts
Title:
Additional option to preview with cuts
Area:
posting, cut tag
Summary:
In addition to the normal preview there should be an option to allow previewing the entry with cut tags, i.e. as it would be displayed on a reading page.
Description:
Right now the only way to see how your entry will look like with the cut tags is to actually post and then check.
This means if you messed up a cut tag, your epic fic, huge picspam, NSFW drawing, or mega-spoiler will appear uncut on your friends' reading page for as long as it takes you to fix it.
It also means that you have to very carefully check a post with several tags if you like them to look orderly or post first and edit to fix the cut tags later.
Possible implementations:
1) An additional button "Preview with cuts"
2) A checkbox "preview with cuts" which would then change how the preview button displays the preview (preferred because it could link to help page about cuts)
I believe such a preview would make it much more convenient to handle cut tags and avoid feelings of panic and unnecessary checking and re-checking if a cut tag works as intended before posting.
Possible drawbacks:
When searching the suggestions community (I was very surprised that nobody suggested this before), I found one post (http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/161146.html) that says that "many users new to this corner of the internets don't know what a cut is". So adding such an option might be confusing. However, if option 2) is taken, it could link to the fitting help page, so that people could find out what a cut is in case they don't know.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
