Hello Edward & Thomas,

However these new test reveals the following about the layout commands:


   - layout-legacy == layout-quadrant == layout-restore-default
   - These commands are doing / providing the same layout !  - This is 
   confusing ( at least for me ;-)

I do believe, that the number of layout commands in Leo's core should be 
reduced to a bare minimum - and - some others (e.g. like 'big tree' & 
'vertical thirds #2) should at the most be documented


I think you are right and that legacy and quadrant are the same. By 
coincidence I noticed that yesterday.  After double checking I will propose 
removing one of them.  layout-restore-default should restore the layout 
prescribed by the "qt-layout-name" setting, whatever it is.  I tested that 
yesterday as well, and it seems to work as intended.
 
I also found that my "fallback" layout is essentially the same as "vertical 
thirds", so we could remove the "fallback"  layout. I only put it in there 
to make sure I could get the one I preferred while we got all the rest of 
the new system worked out.

The selection of the minimal commands could be guided by the fact that most 
(all?) monitors have a rectangular  and not a square form


Ah, monitor aspect ratios! How often have I wished for a monitor with a 
greater height than width! The layouts I usually use have the greatest 
height for the body editor, and then for the tree.  I sometimes put special 
panes into the log frame,and then I need the log frame to have good height, 
as well.  I don't see how anyone can stand using a squat body editor or 
tree view.  But tastes differ.
 

With kind regards,

Viktor
