taskbar updates

Post by Ingus »

Generally I would like to have two modifications to internal taskbar of WeBuilder 2006:

1) Right-click on any opened file could have SVN shell icons, if let's say tortoisesvn is installed.

2) I would like to act the taskbar exacly as it does on windows:
* scroll it vertically, not horizontally - as you have many files open, each click on the scroll buttons reveals only one more item, scrolling vertically would let you reveal whole line
* spanning the task bar to multiple lines, I prefer the windows task bar to have two lines as then I can see more of the opened programs and can navigate easily, I guess adding that option to WeBuilder would be as useful as it is for the windows task manager.

Thanks,
Ingus

To see a list of open documents, you can use Window menu. At this time we are not planning to change the general task bar behavior, only to add features like tab-switching and better look.

Now I agree a list of open docs would be cool, but then again it would add on the performance. To keep this editor fast, we need to balance between the power and speed. Every new feature makes it just a little bit slower.

If I receive very many requests about this, I shall reconsider.
