After reading John Ralls’ reply on the wizards (example 4) I agree with him, the sidebar list needs to go. Adding numbered steps would help, but the better option is to not even list the steps, just walk the user through the steps with next <> back buttons. I think this would also adhere better

Hello Geert and Adrien, I agree it is a good idea to revise the report options and possibly summarize to reduce the number of tabs. There are currently some reports that have tabs with only a few settings. But in my opinion it would not be a good solution to move away completely from tabs for *a

Di Mang, Looking at the Gnome HIG (since we’re dealing with gtk) their recommendation is to NOT scroll tabs but rather use a Side Bar List instead or re-arrange the content: "Do not use too many tabs. If you cannot see all the tabs without scrolling or splitting them into multiple rows, you ar

I didn’t realize there were so many such dialogs! Looking them over now, I’d think setting the value to “8” would leave some room for future flexibility and this appears to be doable based on the size of most tabs. (this would vary with very long strings, perhaps considering German, it might be

Hi Adrien, ​ I have created a table that captures the current tab positions and the new tab positions (after change MAX_TAB_COUNT) (see attachments).​ ​We can achieve a consistent appearance of all reports​ if we will change MAX_TAB_COUNT to 6: * 6 and less tabs: appearance at the top position * 7

Di Mang, I have no preference for either top or left-side tabs, as long as they are consistent across the application. However, I can see that changing the main app preferences to top tabs might be cumbersome as there are so many. Therefore, if a delineation were made that ‘preference panes’ us
