The new look of the tools is very nice indeed! But I wonder why you have choosen to put the "list of recently used files" here as a tab. It's not the place where I would expect it. Opening files is a matter of the "File->Open..." menu. I would add a new entry here that says "File->Open previous", which will show a list of previously edited programs. I'm referring here to the Nedit way of doing this. I find that quite intuitive, without cluttering this onto the canvas. This's more of a menu issue, less of a canvas issue. It's a very good idea, though, to keep a list of previously edited programs and make that easily accessible. > - Drag-n-drop to/from the tool selector is gone > but I think it was never really needed, anyway. Oh? I'm using drag/drop from tool selector to canvas a lot. How else can I add new tools onto the canvas? What is "Drag-n-drop to the tool selector"? That's impossible, isn't it? > I'll be interested in reactions.

I wonder if there are more people like me: I mostly do not think of a tool as being part of a category, but simply remember its name. So I use the All category and browse to the tool by knowing its place in the alphabetical list. Removing "All", will disable this style of using the tool menu. Or will "Type ahead" resolve this?
