It allows more casual inspection of tabs (move move move, not move click move click), and works particularly well with vertically-stacked tabs or tabs whose content is in a folded away NoteBook. I regard it as useful for inspectors, such as the Cursor tab and Histogram tab, that I do tend to check casually, and selectors, such as brushes, patterns, and brush editor, that can be used casually. Of the seven tabs I have docked to the toolbox, three (palette editor, pattern selector, brush selector) would be useful to access in this way. Ideally, each could be a fold-out window (like tooltips), which would be accessed by hovering or clicking on an icon, rather than blocking other dockables that *should* remain visible (eg. Colors, Layers). If tabs could behave in this way, trying to avoid covering the dockbook they are expanded from, and automatically reset to the previously selected tab when done, this would work rather neatly. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
