Good morning,
• In order to fill in the lacunaæ of that damned QT, I propose you the solution #1 below :
¤
Steps
1. Remove the “Layout” sub-menu and its fly-craps (I drew a single matching one for the fun),
and just change the main item like
2. That could open a dialogue-box in that painting
• Doing so, you could kill two birds with the same stone…since anyway a dialogue'll be needed
to set a “Free” layout, sooner or later.
• The upper section contains the large icons of the standard layouts, set as buttons.
The current layout is shown as underlined (green), while the others have a greyed out underline.
- To simply change the layout : Click another layout-button (including the “Custom” one) –> [OK]
• The lower section should allow to build a customized layout :
- Beside the “Custom” button, there's a preview (inactive, with red separators) which is an existing
saved custom layout. When there is none yet, that area might be greyed or so.
- On the image, the Film-strip radio-button is “ON”, hence the “Thumb nails” item button is greyed (and
vice-versa)
- Like it's indicated, the user could select an area, then click the button of an item to set it onto that area —> [Accept].
- If s¦he mistook, the [Remove] button cancels that handling.
- The [Reset] button could allow to remove all previous changes, and to clear the current customized layout as well.
- I thought too to D&D the item from the button —> building window, but is it supported ?
When the three items are located, pressing the “Save” button displays the new customized layout
in the Preview, it can be used.
That's all for that night !
