First, we have to keep in mind that there are two possible situations: single window mode and floating windows. The drop target I mocked on the right is intended for single window mode only. It wouldn't make sense with floating windows because you can't dock dialogs in the image window when you're using that mode. Also hiding and showing the drop target on mouse over would require to reserve the area or making it pop up anytime you hover, and that would be very annoying at any rate. I think the drop target on the right should be displayed only when there is no image open and no docked dialogs. The drop target on the left is part of the toolbox window in window mode, so it's a little bit different. It can be showed always (when there is no dialog docked, of course) both in single and multi window modes.

I agree it would be useful, but we have to think about how to display and hint a widget that it's both a drop target and a button. In my first mockup it looked like a button, as Alexandre pointed out. That would fit with this idea of adding two options, but it would probably hide from users that they can drop dialogs there. ...Unless both are present, a button and a drop target. Any idea about how to communicate that without getting the text back in the drop target? There's also the problem with single-window/multi-window modes. Anyway, this is only brainstorming. I'm sure our GUI expert will have better ideas about how to solve this. :-) Gez. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
