Do we need so many tab pages in the message panel?

(1/4) > >>

nanyu:
now we have :

1 Code::Blocks (log)
2 Search results
3 Cccc
4 Build log
5 Build messages
6 CppCheck
7 CppCheck messages
8 Debugger
9 Debugger(Debug)
10 Thread search

We should be able to merge some items :

1 Code::Blocks (log)
2 Search results
3 Cccc
4 Build log / Build messages
5 CppCheck
6 Debugger
7 Thread search

Interesting idea.

Please don't attach images to the forum, because the space on the server is limited and the moderators delete attachments at random, when there is no free space.

I agree, the message pane UI has become very crowded over the last few years, and many new users may feel overwhelmed.

I think a change is not so simple, even if it should be possible and looks interesting at the first look.

I'm currently working on a patch to save the order of the tabs and whether they are visible or not.
That would make the message pane more clear.

Here it is:
The state of tabs in message-pane is saved together with the perspective changes.
The last selected tab can also be saved, but this is configurable ("Settings -> Environment... -> View -> Save selected tab in message pane on perspective change"). It's the default behaviour, but can make the annoying-dialog that asks whether the user wants to save a perspective-change pop up much more often.

The context menu where the user can toggle the visibility shows the tabs in correct order even if they have been dragged to another place (in almost any cases).
I show loggers and non-loggers without to seperate them, because that is not really needed in my opinion.

The patch is against actual trunk (r6328).

Any feedback welcome.
