#177 [1.6.0] Match/Glossary may be docked to main window

[Maxym Mykhalchuk]

Well, it's my own "pet feature" I wished for a long
time in OmegaT ;-)
Exactly, single-windowness where all the windows: main,
matches and glossary are in one window so that there no
longer are any focus, Windows panel issues etc.

So now Match/Glossary may be docked/undocked from the
main window.

I'm not sure into what release to put it. 1.6.0 or later?

The sooner the better Manxym - it is one of those things
most Windows users have a huge problem with. Thank you!!!

Well, let's be honest, it does look like it is going to simplify manipulations
quite a bit.

It looks like the match/glossary item is still one unsplittable blob.

I would suggest that the three elements are totally separated which would
allow:
-put the glossary on one side, with a relatively limited width
-put the matches below the main window, with the same width

for ex.

or put both side by side below the main window, with different widths

etc.

As for release, why not 1.6.0 ?

I rather like the two-window approach, but I'm not married
to either. As long as you can resize the panes or frames
individually, it should be all-right.

Maxym,
Regarding your answer:
"JC, don't you think it's natural that single window acts as
a single window? (if any part of it is changed, it still has
the same size)."

I have no problem with that, but for me docking the viewer does not mean
that the editor window gets bigger, hence, disabling the viewer even when
docked should not affect the editor window size. That is very counter-
intuitive to me.

I am not familiar with docking applications so that may be the reason.

Also, I mentioned that earlier, would separating the match viewer and
glossary viewer be possible ? Typically the match viewer contains "horizontal"
information (one segment) and could be "docked" right under the editor,
while the glossary typically contains "vertical" information (any number of
matches actually, in a relatively limited width since the comment is inserted
below the match) and would fit on its own on a side of the editor. That way
we could rationalize the most the use of screen real-estate.

Closing...
This feature was implemented in OmegaT version 1.6.0 RC10 just
released.

RC11 will bring even better docking
