Hi all,

reading newbie reports on darktable it seems to be one of the most 
frequent complaints that is is difficult to keep overview of the iop GUIs.

I assume that this is mostly due to the fact that currently users are 
required to do some active housekeeping. If work on a iop is finished 
the GUI should be collapsed, else too many GUI controls are visible and 
a user quickly looses overview.

darktable already has the "Shift-Click" option, which automatically 
closes all other iop GUIs whenever you expand one GUI. Only one GUI is 
open at a time.

I suggest to offer a preference flag that allows to swap the meaning of 
"Click" and "Shift-Click" when it comes to GUI expansion. As a default 
for new users the current behavior should be reversed. So "Click" should 
auto-collapse all other iop GUIs. Advanced users can switch back to the 
current behavior.

What's your opinion?

Ulrich
