So? I've been skimming the thread, but IMHO it's a gain if additional configurability lets even a few percent of users adapt a tool to their workflow and be more efficient with it. That doesn't mean *everything* has to be configurable, of course, but it shouldn't be a concern for IDE developers that users might spend a rainy Sunday afternoon discovering how well they can code when everything is displayed using Symbol and Dingbats in 72 points, using bright red on dark purple ;) Either way, there is 1 kind of widget that I'd like to see as a dockable: the one that now is a simple drop-down list containing the open files. I'd love to be able to turn that into something that could take the form of a side-panel showing a permanent view of the files open in the associated window - a view that's show in addition to the project view (or whatever else that widget shows). Let the entries show the file's full path, possibly with the project they belong to when the mouse hovers over them, and you have what I'd think would be a very useful, space-efficient (more so than tabs) and economical tool to navigate quickly between files. Esp. if you can rearrange file order too. R. _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
