This behavior is still messed up in version 0.69 and quite aggravating.

I use the following buttons to hide/show various panels:



For my way of working, the circled button should simultaneously hide or show ALL metadata panels subordinated in the View->Info Pane menu item except Preview. Unfortunately it still does not control the Categories metadata pane.

The basic problem is that one cannot dock the Categories Info tab with the other Info tabs inside the Info panel. The following should be possible:



but in 0.69 and prior it isn't possible!

Please make the Categories pane subordinate to the Info Panel!



Some of us dislike the proliferation of so many separate panels and want to "contain" them.

To paraphrase a popular meme: "One panel to contain all the metadata panes, one button to display it."

But you can hide category panel and open a tabbed category view.
Right Click on Tab in Info panel

I'm so sorry Pierre, you are correct!!!

Thank you for implementing this. Silly me, I hadn't thought to use the context menu.

For a while there were two identical Category panes on my screen, but after some dragging stuff around I finally caused one of them to disappear and was able to get the layout to match what I had been comfortable with prior to 0.68.

The following suggestion would still be a good thing, though!



Thanks again!
