RE: [platform-ui-dev] Coolbars enabled by default in F2
|
I
agree. Looks like coolbars are trying to replace groupings, while they should be
in addition to groupings.
Toolbar grouping setting should have an option to be its own toolbar or
be appended to some other toolbar.
It
seems strange that Coolbars are enabled by default in F2. This is listed as
"Work in Progress", which I interpret to mean experimental since the current
look isn't quite ideal.
I don't work with ActionSets much. But, it
seems that there are nicely defined groups on the Menubar like "File" and
"Navigate", yet the Toolbar seems to lack these logical groupings. It seems as
if each ActionSet just defines its own top-level Coolbar, instead of extending
an existing group defined by UI. For example:
New and Create Java Xxxx
aren't on the same coolbar.
New and Create CVS location aren't on the same
coolbar.
Run external Tool and Run aren't on the same bar.
Open Type is
not with Save (the place where Open Resource should be but isn't)
IMO,
these things should be grouped on the same coolbar, and possible separated
using a separator. Coolbars with one item look odd and are hard to
reorganize.
