I’m generally in favour of the direction Frits is taking with this, though I have to agree at the moment it is looking a little complex.
Please be more specific. What is “it” that is looking complex?
Sorry, I should have clarified my point a bit more. From my own perspective the direction you are taking is fine and makes sense. I was just trying to look at it from a new users point of view. I thought that perhaps having the information in the track headers replicated in the inspector could look a bit too much to take on board initially.
Of course, I understand that the group panel can be hidden and also that overall it’s still a work in progress.
One thing that is starting to bother me though is the fact that the options and settings are all over the place. It can be a bit of a trial trying locate particular settings. Would it make sense and/or be possible to have it all located under one menu/sub menus?
Please give me an example. Are you talking about the different dialog windows for the editor profiles?
I’ve looked at it again and I see now that I was a bit off the mark…again 😳 I can see that some of the available settings are arrangement specific and are therefore probably not suited to grouping with the global settings. Regarding the editor profiles though, I have the tools in a particular order that is the same for all the editors. Perhaps an option to set this globally in this case might make sense. Currently one has to go through all the individual profiles, though obviously once it’s set then it’s done.
Mart.
