Wouldn't it have had to be easier to design that with glade instead of writing python scripts? - Or alternative, a pen and paper? ;) When seeing this from a user point of view there is very much information to enter. A bit "overload" on the screen - in special the advanced mode. Yes, you warned me. ;) As you said, this is a prototype which maybe needs more work. - Also from the user point of view and in GUI design. Just a suggestion: You could work with the GUI element from GTK which allows to extend the dialog via clicking on the arrow (as in the Find or Replace dialog in Geany) :) Regards, Dominic -- Dominic Hopf <dma...@googlemail.com> http://dominichopf.de/ Key Fingerprint: A7DF C4FC 07AE 4DDC 5CA0 BD93 AAB0 6019 CA7D 868D
