Hi, just a quick update on this topic: we've started yesterday the work on this task, here is the plan: - morph the various providers *selectWidget( QWidget *parent, Qt::WindowFlags fl ) to return a widget and not a dialog (as per original specs) - create a generic dialog wrapper to maintain the existing dialogs available from the main menu (and as keyboard shortcuts) - create the unified layer dialog (dockable!) - insert the widgets into a stacked widget in the unified dialog - preliminary tests - final polishing (styles, docking behavior, usability enhancements) - tests
I'll try to make a prototype PR as soon as I have at least one provider available so that everybody can track the progresses. Suggestions welcome!
