Hi Tony, yeah in that situation you would avoid cluttering the workspace. But if I focused primarily on making this UI in a floating window for everybody, then people who only had a single monitor would end up with the cluttering problem.

In the future I do want to enable some methods for re-arranging the UI, for stuff like tearing chunks off and docking them in different areas or possibly on different monitors. But it is going to be a while before I am able to get to that.

Just to clear things in my head, it seems to me Ill much prefer to work on the "Inside".and not the "Adjacent" mode...Is that how the UI gonna look in a situation like that?

Hi yannada, it will be similar to that except different with the scrolling behavior.

The inline scene browser is limited to only be a maximum of 40% of the size of the main window height (adjustable in moi.ini), so that it doesn't overwhelm the other controls in there.

When it gets to be long when in "inside" mode, the browser section gets its own vertical scroll bar, like this:



This mode will probably be good if you have a higher resolution monitor, and if you don't have a high level of nested sub-items in groups.

Just an idea: maybe the tree could pan to the right when you hover items that are partially hidden and then return when not hovering.

Can't wait to try this browser!

Interesting idea! But unfortunately pretty difficult to implement...

Hi danperk - yup that one may be a pretty natural one to add in later.

Michael I notice when you are on "Adjacent" mode, Scene browser is on the left side of the tool bar. Will it be possible to switch side?

Hi yannada, I'm not currently planning on making a checkbox option for that, but it will be possible to set it up if you edit a UI file (MainWindowLayout.xml).

Do you think there is some advantage to having it on the other side?

I thought you had said you wanted to use the inline mode...

I think Ill be using the inline mode in most cases, but for large projects I may have to switch.

>>Do you think there is some advantage to having it on the other side?

Ill like the main tools to be the first to access (closer to me) Now it fells like I have to jump over the Scene browser to get to the main tools...perhaps is just me.

Hi yannada, well the main tools will be in the same location that they used to be before there was a scene browser. So it is not like you will be moving any further than you have had to previously.

Some things like the main window close / minimize / restore controls currently live in the side pane, it would maybe be a little odd to move those away from the window corner. So I'd probably have to do something about that in order to have such a mode.

Also I expect that it will not be that unusual to want to hide or show the browser fairly often (especially on lower resolution displays), and it seems like it would be kind of weird to have the main tools shift around every time you did that.

At any rate, you'll be able to give it a try, I'll tell you how to edit the MainWindowLayout.xml file to do it, you just move one line up to higher in the file so that it docks first before the side pane is docked.

Hi Marc, previously you asked about swiping:

> I don't know if this has been said before but it would be nice
> if you could click+hold and then slide your mouse over multiple
> eye icons to turn them on/off ion a sweep motion.

Earlier I didn't think I would have this at first, but I've managed to add it in.

The way it works is that it remembers whether the initial clicked item resulted in a hide or a show, and when you swipe with the mouse held down, it will apply that same result to all the swiped items.

Does that make sense rather than trying to invert every item you swipe over? Doing an invert seems less of a predictable thing when there are a mixture of states, rather than applying the same thing to all the swiped items.

Hi Michael, great!

It seems to be a practical behavior this way!

I also think inverting states would be a less convenient event.
I imagine a couple of laps on the race track will validate all this.

Marc
