Description Tomasz Zarna CLA 2009-10-01 06:33:53 EDT 
In 3.6 we are planning to add one more button to the toolbar (see bug 219570, "Link with Editor") so I guess we should reconsider compacting the toolbar. The easiest way to do so, without waiting for a way to customize a toolbar[1], is to replace sync mode buttons (which number often reaches 4) with a single drop-down action.

This problem has been already mentioned in bug 88144, comment 1 and bug 75932, comment 5.

Fix v01

Patch that replaces mode actions with single dropdown. I think I should also rename DirectionFilterActionGroup to DirectionFilterAction since it's no longer an ActionGroup, but this will create a new class and make us lose history. Damn you CVS :/

I think that at the same time I could remove sync mode actions from sync's view menu (available under "Mode >" submenu). They seem redundant to me, but please correct me if I'm missing some obvious use case or an UI guideline.

I do not plan to work on this. Marking as won't fix.
