Leaf #

Post by VictorParkerPIM »

On the top line of notes: "Text Related Items ( )", why can't it show selected Leaf# also?

"Leaf 1 Text Related Items ( )"

I'm not sure where in the UI you're suggesting to show this info. Could you please clarify?

What would be the point? I mean you already see the leaf's name at the bottom. In other words, how could users benefit of this change?

I thought it would be better to see everything in one place.

As a thought, if we were going for unifying the UI I think it would be better to turn the "Text, Attachments, and Related" tabs into icons and put them on the button right.

Then we could get rid of the mostly empty tab tab bar, but I do think they would have to be iconainized to pull it off, as you wouldn't want to loss much space for leaf tabs.

That sounds like a great idea, I don't think many people would fill the Leaf bar up, even if they did the Bar would word wrap.
That my thoughts.

Personally I do not have any leafs, attachments or related items. Nevertheless - or perhaps just for this reason :wink: - I would support the suggestions both of VictorParkerPIM ("it would be better to see everything in one place") and of FireBrand2026. Concentrating all these elements in a bar below the editor window would save space and gather them on a place where they do not distract the attention from the editing toolbar on top.
