Separators in default skin

Post by helmut »

In browser mode of XnView 1.95 there are only two separators in the toolbar. I think there should be at least one more two create groups which can be recognized more easily.

It's hard to say where to set the separator because the toolbar buttons are not structured very well. I think there should be one separator right properties and one left of capture (the two separators would group the toolbar buttons into ..| Image operations&info | Various | Create | ...).

Two separators added:

The difference is minor but as written above people might recognize things more easily.

Hmm, the problem is probably the menu bar:
Typically, the order of the buttons in the toolbar simply follows the order in the menu bar. In the menubar we have "Tools" and "Create" which is a grouping that might not be ideal for various reasons. But this should be discussed in a seperate topic, I'll start one, soon.

I'd like to raise this topic, again.

Please note
...in the draft above separators are set different than in my initial post.
..."Contact sheet" is part of the create section.

Perhaps separators could be added in XnView 1.98 beta1, already?

Thank you, Pierre, for adding the two separators in beta 2! :-)
