thanks for your feedback. One quick follow-up: [...] > Ah, funny, I was just thinking, that using a *button* to toggle the > code area is somewhat not optimal.

May be useful for the "code" area in it own right. Proper (re-)sizing may possibly be an issue, I'll have to experiment with this. However, conceptually: What about plot previews in this solution? Plots tend to be tall (or at least rectangular), thus generally not suitable to append below a dialog. And in fact, having plot previews in a separate window, as we have now, has its own benefits (e.g. you can directly export the "preview" to a file via the preview's menu bar). So would we be looking for two completely separate (UI-wise) solutions to plot previews and data previews? Or can you see some common denominator? Regards Thomas
