Hmmm, this seems to have little to do with Simon's need to find a more obvious place for the insert image tool, unless you think this single tool should replace the current content of the Write View secondary toolbar? The View toolbar eye icon is already used in a number of activities, are you proposing to update these? We also have at least one Activity that has a pretty full Activity secondary toolbar* and a pretty full View toolbar (Turtle Blocks/Art).

* the extra space is used for different export formats into the Journal, we should do this for Write's export formats as well (currently hiding under the Keep icon). Actually, Walter does have a couple of import from Journal tools in the TA Activity toolbar, perhaps Write's insert image tool could be considered there as an import image from Journal function?
