If we decide for such a schema, a very important requirement is not fulfilled: "It should be possible to open a pane where it was, without thinking". Without that feature, it is a pain to DJ with two panes, try it out ;-). In addition the simple midi menu -> sub-menu navigation does not work, it will always use the same pane. > There would not be any > corresponding indicator on the feature icons because the new icon > wouldn't create a remembered association.

Yes right, that would be still an issue. This can be solved by temporary preselect the pane (show pointing hand) when hovering over a desired feature button. > If I understand your proposal correctly, it would keep the current > behavior of requiring the feature icon to be clicked again to open the > left pane controls for a feature that already has a right track table > open. IMO this is cumbersome and a little confusing. It is slightly different (note: there is a pending bug in the current branch that prevent this): Lets say you have already a playlist in the right pane. You can preselect the left pane and select the desired second play-list from the playlist tree. Now you have two playlist side by side. If you do not touch the preselect icon, the new playlist will replace the playlist in the right pane. As I understand this would be the same in your proposal. > There should be a > way to show the corresponding left pane controls directly from the right > pane without having to move the cursor away to the feature icons.

We cannot do this in the current concept, because this would prevent the two playlists side by side use case as outlined above. > With the right pane focus decoupled from > clicking in the track tables, there would not be the issue of annoying > flickering of the left pane when clicking in different track tables. I am fine with changing the LibrarySidebarExpanded only by the button bar. This avoids the mentioned flickering and allows the sorting to playlist use case as discussed earlier. A track table focus dependent change of the LibrarySidebarExpanded will IMHO not add any additional value to the use. The Breadcrumb and the search bar should be sufficient to indicate the table state. > > On 08/21/2016 03:43 PM, Daniel Schürmann wrote: >> >> >> Am 21.08.2016 um 22:33 schrieb Be: >>>>> * When focused, a feature's left pane is shown. >>>>> * Clicking feature icons always opens the feature in the focused right >>>>> pane. >>>> >>>> I do not understand these suggestions.
