Since a while we have add a new button including all editor tools to a drop view. For me this is enough and similar than this wish. Gilles Caulier |
Created attachment 64603 [details] Full explanation with mockups Version: 2.2.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux The digiKam has great function to have a editor as stand alone application what can be launched alone and as a own window when launched from digiKam itself. The current trend is to get ridd of the menubar itself. Usually this means all the functions are tried to push to toolbar. What can not hold much functions, so some adds a tabs to toolbar, what is first shown in 90's in Macromedia products and Delphi IDE and now most famous is the Microsoft Office 2007. But there have been great way before those as well. The sidepanels. They were not so good when we had 4:3 monitors with limited resolution. And not even the later 5:4 format screens. But now when most are widescreens, the 16:9 or 16:10 format, the sidepanel is the best option for many reasons. (These were done before the current tool organisation behind one button with drop-down view but this still apply) Reproducible: Didn't try Expected Results: Better usability
