TestPatch that make it possible to add an right panel
Last modified: 2008-11-02 16:12:22 UTC
this patch add a possibility to have an right panel in gedit. I think this feature is good when you have widescreen. This way you can for example have classbrowser in the right and filebrowser at the left of the maintextarea. New API: gedit_window_get_left_panel (exactly the same as the old API gedit_window_get_right_panel() Bindings for python is already implemented and tested. Some knows bugs and stuff to fix. * Sizing is not saved correcly. and probadly more to come but I will not continue until I am sure upstream is intrested in his patch :-) Other information:

One more panel adds clutter I think. Now, if the right panel came as an option (an extension? to discourage default use of the right panel) and the core had the ability to move plugins from one panel to another it could be nice... Now, isn't it what GDL is about?
yeah... I am marking this as WONTFIX for now. Either we stick to the current simple and fixed layout or we move to a proper docking widget.
