<boud> maybe -- but then we'd get bug reports about "the move buttons have suddenly disappeared!" <dmitryK_> boud: we could also combine them into some drop-down button... Is there any reason why some (or most) of those buttons couldn't be moved to the layers themselves? There's ample room next to the lock, alpha buttons etc, and it would also speed up workflow since you could perform those operations on the layer directly (without needing to even select it), instead of having to move back and forth between the layers and the bottom of the docker - i.e. more focused and less clicking.

put the tool buttons into a toolbar
It's actually not the buttons that fix the width, it's the layerview itself. Attached patch moves the buttons into a toolbar, which means that there is no effective minimum width for the buttons. If the docker is made less wide, the buttons will spill over into a dropdown.
However, this doesn't fix the issue. Not only is the spill-over dropdown broken for some reason, it's actually the layer view itself that forces the minimum width requirements.
may be there is some way to make that "move*" buttons as an option for users? or put them in dropdown menu or arrange them in 2 rows :) or just make smaller... It's actually not the buttons, it's the layerview itself that fixes the minimum width. didn't get it... the "layer block" has fixed width inside a docker? and there is no way to make it's with variable? we can make that layerview wider but not narrower? ะพ_0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/0367xwnq28ckh2u/hmmm.png Yes -- I haven't found a way to make the layer block less wide. That's what I tested with the patch appended to this bug -- that will make the buttons overflow when making the layer docker narrower. We're redesigning the layer box, but it will always have a certain minimum size... The layerbox redesign is an accepted 2015 stretch goal. WISHGROUP: Stretchgoal Dmitry reworked the layer docker, closing. |
