Hmm, refering to your "screenshot" above (well, nicely drawn ;-), i = think the main-problem with your project is, that current layout-engine and = related API needs an edit-area, means an area which can be used for arbitrary = not-special windows - all special windows in an ecb-layout have to be dedicated = windows (dedicated to buffers)!...so there arte two approaches: 1. You want to define the left and right pane as "special" in this sense = of ECB which then follows the need for the two windows of being dedicated to = the dired-buffers - but then: where is the edit-area which is needed = currently by the layout-engine of ECB (at least one editing window must exists) 2. You use the current editing-area of ECB for your tool, means split = the editing area into two windows side by side, put a dired within etc... For this the special-tree-buffer-pane of ECB has to be temporally = hidden what is already possible (see `ecb-hide-ecb-windows'). These windows = must NOT being dedicated to their dired-buffers. What would you prefer (assumed we can enhance ECB's layout engine so no edit-window is needed, also 1. should be possible)? BTW: Your suggestion drives me to check how many effort it would be to allow layouts without an edit-area - which could be really useful..... I will try to investigate in the next days.................... Klaus >=20 >=20 >=20 >> Ciao, >> Klaus |
