dialog tabs removed?
« on: May 18, 2007, 09:47:44 pm »
I see that most dialogs' tab-bars have been replaced with combo boxes. It took us quite a while to figure out this new interface, and it is also quite cumbersome to use.

Is there a possibility to revert to the old tab-bar interface?

You know what? I also preferred the old version using tabs.

Why don't you create a poll instead? That'd be a good idea to really know what the community thinks about that.

I agree as well. I find the current system hard to see where I am actually am. Please bring back the tabs. They look a lot more professional. Or maybe a setting?

I, too, prefer the tab layout.

But, I assumed the change was to support the XML-based compiler framework.

Same here, since the switch i still find it hard to see, and it requires one more click than tabs (you must click on the combobox and select the dialog, while with tabs you only have to select the dialog).

Thomas and I would like to have the tabs back, too.

But: IIRC the change was due to some incompatibilities with MAC ?! ?! ?!
Not sure about that but if so reverting back to tabs would maybe be a bigger issue for MAC compatibility... afb??? (Maybe already solved with wx28...)???

With regards, Morten.
