Visibility of tools feedback

[Clive]

Hi Andrew

Fantastic improvement with the adjustment of visibility of tools in menus and toolbars .

Suggestions:

Icons are neded for:

Focus on Command line and Focus on options toolbar.

Yes, there are still quite a few tools without icons. These will be added over time when time permits, or perhaps some will be added by the QCAD community (any Inkscape artists out there? ).

This doesn't seem to be working correctly for me (QCAD Pro Linux 3.7.2). I tried adding some tools to the CAD toolbar but they don't show up, even after a reboot. Also, the Reset icon has vanished. The toolbar is there, but empty.

Yes, I was also struggling to bring my "old settings" back. But now it seems to work ....

Regarding the vanished Reset Icon: I experience the same problem (Windows). You have to tick (again?) the Tool bar visibility.

Artist - not me!

But maybe this is better than nothing ...

Hey Husky, not bad at all

[Clive]

Andrew, I probably use the Modify toolset the most out of all the tools available, so I always have this toolset docked for easy access. With your newly improved feature for controlling the visibility of toolbars I decided to hide the Modify toolset from the main CAD toolbar ... makes sense to me - now that I can do this
In practice this was easily achievable however I had to go through everyone of the tools to untick the visibility from the CAD toolbar, to my way of thinking it would be easier to just select the 'parent' icon for the modify tools and untick the visibilty and this would then in return make all other tools within this toolset invisible avoiding the need to manually go through all of them one by one. Of course I am only suggesting this works for all parent icons for the toolsets!

This should indeed just be one tick to remove the modify button from the CAD tool bar:

Of course the individual modification tools will still be in their respective CAD tool bar panel, but since you don't have a button anymore to show that panel, that is irrelevant.

Thanks for the reply Andrew, my point is that if you hide the parent icon for the modify tools it doesn't hide the other tools if you then use one of the modify tools that you previously didn't 'untick' the visibility for, here's a image to help explain this.

Here you can see the modify toolbar docked and when using it you can see the break out tool in two places! hiding the parent icon for the modify toolset didn't hide all the other tools.

Thanks, I see what you mean now. The problem is that some tools automatically show certain CAD tool bar panels. That could certainly be improved, yes.

Okay thanks Andrew.

Thanks, Husky. This did the trick.
