Dropping Type Hierarchy view on a minimized stack

I20120703-0800

I'm using minimized stack just like I used to work with fast views in 3.8. So far so good, but I'm missing one thing. I'm not able to add a view directly to the stack without restoring it.

I also have a painful problem with the lack of fastview. Lets imagine, that you have two displays. A fullhd display, and a smaller notebook display. You set the size of the minimized stack popup according to the larger display. Then you drag the window to the smaller display, or simple unplug the bigger display. If you click now on the minimized stack, you simply do not see anything from the bottom of the popup. No scrollbar, no nothing.

Suggestion:
- there could be an option like "automatically fit the side of the stack". So if for example the stack is on the left side, the height of the popup would fit the height of the window, and the user could change the width of it only. Or if the stack is at the bottom, then the width could fit automatically, and the height could be set.
- the second option is the same like above, the only difference is that there would not be such option, but the "popup" would not exceed the window, and a scrollbar would appear.

Opinions?

Thanks for the feedback, Gábor.

Could you please open a new bug with this suggestion, for managing fastview size?

In this bug we'll deal with more easily creating a custom fastview bar by dragging views onto a fastview.
