RC5: multiple separators at the end of the toolbar

Post by scratch »

depending on how many buttons you hide, you can end up with two or three separators at the end of a given toolbar. i would suggest that you check if there are any buttons visible after the separator, and if not, hide the separator too. this occurs both in browser and view.

XnView 1.80 <x>

A pinch OT---

Post by Clo »

:) Hello !
- This occurs because the separators are not configurable at all, while they are in the most programs where you may configure such buttons on (a) tool-bar(s).

- This is a pinch OT, but I guess that the separators should be in the button-list as an item; so, the user could place them like he/she needs…

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

they can't be auto-configured by XnView based on what buttons are visible?

A fixed bunch

Post by Clo »

:) They might be, but it seems that currently a fixed amount of separators is hard-coded, then the ones in excess (when there are some) are displayed like you describe; I guess it should be much simpler that Pierre doesn't treat the separators, and simply add the possibility to configure them by the user.
- Indeed, a minimal default ones must be displayed for the default tool-bar at the first start-up, but they might be removed as soon as you open the Option >> Buttons…
8) Just my opinion, though…

An item, plz

:arrow: Pierre

:) Hello Pierre,
- What about my proposal above ? I mean : set "Separator" as an item in the list of buttons; I guess that the current layout - not configurable- wastes room on the screen in many cases, and I would wish to get only the really indispensable separators… For 1.81 ?

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

Yes, not in 1.80

Should not be an issue with v.1.9alpha. Toolbar is redesigned and more customizable with individual icons.
