hi to_b we are trying to go in a different direction with 1.5svn... the idea is to have one single panel for the properties of a frame (like x,y,z, line and colors) and a separated palette with the properties for the content (context sensitive). you will be able to show only one or both palettes at the same time. also, the palettes are dockable. on top of it, the code and the ui files for each sections in both palettes will be very modular: that way, it should also be possible to create palettes like the ones you show in your screenshot. on top of it, we are trying to avoid tabs and foldable sections (we won't talk about accordion structures...) what do you think about it? |

... subeditor... you'll get an email! very soon... sorry for some long delay in the answers... there are things which are faster to answer (or just happen to be under my eyes at the time when i have some time) and other which take more time and attention... |

Ok, sounds good to me. I just thought I suggest this because it seemed to be a fast way to get a better workflow. Think I should give 1.5svn a try. |

I really like the idea. The content aware window is of course great and I'm really looking forward to that. Will it be possible to have the two palettes in different areas of the screen (one docked to the left side and one to the right)? The only thing i'm not really sure about is the two groups. Maybe it would make more sense to divide it into three: 1.Content aware window (text or image or group etc.) + the “name” field that's now in X,Y,Z (for objects that have no content aware functions only the name option would be visible) 2. The rest of the X, Y, Z, properties + the text flow options (now in shape) 3. The Frame(Shape) options: color, line + shape, round corner options You could call them for example: ”Content properties”, “Transformation properties” and “Frame/Shape properties” |

If you do just two it might be better to combine the context aware options with the color, line options because they are more related/ more likely to be used at the same time: For example when I'm experimenting with the colors of a textframe I would surely prefer to see the options for the textcolor and the colors of the frame at the same time, the same goes for the line preferences and the font settings, the same goes for a image (effects) and the settings for its frame, etc. On the other hand side, while moving and arranging elements I won't necessary think about the thickness and color of the frame, etc. But then again the palette probably becomes too long. |

Certainly it's much more useful than current design. |
