Ondrej, a couple of questions.

Do you plan to tackle the incorrect layout restore problem with docked layouts? Issue #29200

I tried hard to fix it but failed.


Do you plan to provide a better default layout, or management of default layouts? Currently when you install anchor docking the first layout you are given is essentially broken. There ought to be a usable default layout for all modes, docked and undocked.

Not in this redesign. It's another issue and should be reported/solved independently.


Do you plan to fix the problem with environment xml version upgrades wiping out layouts? So far anytime I get the message to upgrade the options (based on option version numbers changing) all my layouts are wiped out including toolbar buttons.

I rewrote the toolbar button interface. Unfortunately some changes were not backwards compatible. From now on toolbar buttons should stay when upgrading IDE options. I am not aware of losing window layouts.


While were at it, would it be possible to add a layout option for all TToolbars in the IDE to either A) show captions and icons, B) show icons only or C) show text only, and resize the toolbars appropriately? See http://video.getlazarus.org/small-toolbars.mp4 <http://cache.getlazarus.org/videos/small-toolbars.mp4>

Not in this redesign. It's another issue and should be reported/solved independently.


And finally, I'd be careful with auto saving layouts. In the past I've had problems where the layouts get corrupted and auto save essentially destroyed my layouts as a result. Sometimes I want to save a layout manually and I do not want the IDE to overwrite it in the event I experience a layout corruption.

You are free not to auto save your layouts. Nothing will change in this respect.
