Hi, we already can put the dock panels as tabs in the same dock as the layer tree, this is convenient to me in general for the browser. Agreed with Andréa, we can't afford to use more space for the docks.. even for medium size screens. Régis 2017-05-02 16:46 GMT+02:00 Neumann, Andreas

Looking into the proposal, makes me wonder if it would be possible to add the Browser panel (that will need to be big enough for the dialogs) to the right of the Layers Panel (assuming the default). That would imply a new area to allow docking panels. Alexandre Neto

Just because I recently found it .. Mapwindow (which seem to have the same icon set as QGIS and GRASS) has introduced such a "Add Data" Layer right from the beginning. Maybe it is a good point to start (just because I see that there are still Database buttons too) http://www.mapwindow.org
