--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #6) > Again, why a dialog? For the 'Tabbed' assemblage, the drop list of tab > appropriate controls (as available now on the Groupedbar or Groupedbar > Compact Notebookbar assemblages) would be far more functional? A dialog - for the same reason we launch dialogs from menus, rather than open submenus: * A dialog has a lot more controls than can fit on a menu * A dialog involves a lot of things which aren't commands, and on groupbar assemblages, or whatever, we have, AFAICT, solely or mostly commands. * A drop-down menu is very fleeting and sensitive - you move your mouse a bit and its gone; not so a dialog, which you examine at your leisure. Also remember I'm asking for the _ability_. I'm not suggesting we replace every "group bar assemblage" with dialog launches. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
