I realize it's an alpha version, but I am experiencing some problems with saving and loading layouts. A bit like not having a garage door opener for 30 years and now that I have it I wouldn't want a new home without one. You don't know what you are missing (layouts) until you have it. What a computing piece of art like XYplorer. LayoutManager-0.5_alpha.zip (341.77 KiB) Downloaded 379 times Update/just found: The menu seems to need at least two entries to be shown Thanks a lot for raising the single attachment size limit.Įdit 12-03-23: Added script description//www I really do wonder how many bugs/pitfalls I've overseen. Unzip it somewhere and read \LayoutManager\resources\help\LM-help.xhtml first.īecause it's pointless, I skipped posting any code and would like to suggest to simply post selective script codes of interest for further discussion. Simply unzip* to the -folder of any XYplorer installation and create a custom-button with On-Click "load("\LayoutManager\\LMMenu.xys")". #667 | Maximize/Minimize Info Panel I could also think of integrating the Toolbar icon size and the Toolbar/Adressbar alignments into a layout.

The GUI component states the script can handle are restricted to those function IDs whose toggle states can be retrieved by callingĬode: Select all #686 | Catalog Above Tree There's not really much more about it (at least, released by now). I consider a Layout to mainly provide a snapshot of the visibility and relative positions of the major GUI elements at a given time.

Not really surprising, the LayoutManager script does create, save, switch and delete what I call Layouts. After Don stated, this has been a almost-never-asked-for-feature and therefore isn't on top of his priorities (which is completely understood because it's his plain business after all), I decided to give it a try. Nevertheless, I did find myself looking for single-click GUI-batch-toggle quite quick. Sure, XY is not a heavyweight gem such as an IDE (Eclipse or MS Visual Studio to name a few), where those layouts/perspectives are not only major time saviors, but undispensable essentials for effective coding. So here it is: LayoutManager 0.5 alpha, the combined outcome of my first SC exercises.
