Hello, I just saw one of the feature videos for 2.74. Listview was extended in particles properties to enable toggles for view and render. list view also got a lot of other features recently, like alphabetical sorting, searching e.t.c.
While this kind of features are of course very usefull and everybody is gratefull for them, because artists do really need them, there is something behind this patch that made me worried about the design part of it. The new toggles are there basically so that the user doesn't have to switch to modifiers to switch off the particles. As with the other features mentioned, the newly added features basically duplicate outliner functionality. It's something list view was since the beginning - a small outliner inside the property window. So the question is, why isn't all this functionality inside the outliner window? Something where you could see modifers, various vertex/edge groups,particle systems e.t.c. directly inside the outliner. Then, the space of the UI would be more optimally used, and there would be no need for such workarounds.
