Hello all Nathan got in touch over the weekend, and we discussed possible plugin changes. He suggested breaking up the one-dialog GUI, and instead embedding the different parts into appropriate places in QGIS:
- general options into own pane - preview window into own pane - layer settings as plugin to style dock I honestly can't decide what I think about this. Pros: - tighter integration with QGIS and improved workflow (instead of start plugin, preview, close plugin, change QGIS settings, start plugin) - remove GUI duplication - reduce GUI development of plugin (perhaps) Cons: - plugin loses identity (vague) - cluttering/confusion/pollution of QGIS GUI - initially less simply for user, as not all functionality in one dialog What do others think about this? I think it could probably improve workflow for the plugin, by using QGIS UI to allow user customization of the UI (dock/undock panes, etc). However, one dialog is certainly simple.
