No dialog should be modal, anyway :-) > Parts of the contents for this "layers management" dialog already existst > in the "Files/Preference..." pull down menu, in a dialog with two tabs > (and another one for information). Seems we are talking about three different needs here: 1) Layer switching during manual routing 2) Management of the properties of a single layer 3) Management of the layer stack. Number one calls for a permanently visible interface which should be frugal with screen estate. I think, this need is served pretty good by the current GTK-HID layer switcher. Much better than the other two EDA packages I know (eagle and protel). The preference dialog tries to serve number two and number three. I think, it would be better to but all the single layer stuff in a dedicated dialog. A dialog that can be called with a single click on the layer chooser. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
