Well, yes, technically, but it's not at all easy for a user to work with an outline or select list with too many items. Too hard to read, too much scrolling! (Yes, I know that good organization and searching helps a lot - look at LeoRef.leo, for example). One way I dealt with this in the past, in a browser application, was to have the list be able to fold or unfold locally, at each node. To unfold a folded tree, you press the control key and drag the mouse over the node (and probably adjacent nodes). Dragging with the shift key folds them up again. This is not a standard UI method, but it was pretty effective. Hmm, do you know if QT5 would support this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
