Tomasz:
First, you know that everyone and especially me appreciate
and applaud the continuous efforts you make in improving AB. You have done
this from the very start and it is wonderful. Thanks for your explanation
below.
Since a long time ago, several of us asked about the
ability to drag individual chart windows represented by "tabs" to a different
"order" at the bottom (but not to other locations on the screen). Instead
of Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, someone (like me) would like to easily change
to Sheet2, Sheet1, Sheet3. This is especially useful if you have 20
or 30 tabs and would like to see Tab 29 next to Tab3 after you have done a lot
of chart construction work on the tabs inbetween. So I am not
advocating moving them just anywhere, but rather an easy way to change the ORDER
of the tabs without having to remake all the chart components manually.
Much (exactly) like Excel worksheets can have their "order"
adjusted just by dragging the tabs at the bottom of the screen next to the
scroll bar. I understand you saying they are hardwired. Can
you conceive of an easy way to change the order like I have described, still
within the confines of your code structure?
But....no matter.....thanks for continued improvements
which make Amibroker even better to use.

Hello,
"I immediately thought that "Tear Off Tabs" meant I could move the
tabs AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHICH SELECT PANES by dragging them. It
does not seem to be so, or else I would appreciate knowing how to do
it."
I explained already
- "tear-off tabs" applies to DOCKING PANES (these which are available via
View->Symbols/Layers/Layouts/Charts/Profile/Notepad/Interpretation).
Tabs next to
scroller bar switch charting sheets and as such are hard-wired (the same was as
scroll bar) to the chart window.
It makes no sense to
move them elsewhere because they BELONG to chart (to each chart window
separately because
you can display
differnt sheet in different chart windows).
If you moved them
somewhere else - you would not know WHICH tab controls WHICH window. This would
lead to complete user confusion and mess.
Belive me I am
thinking on user interface not one minute or one hour but long days and months
and come up with something that really makes sense.
I struggled with
the draging as the "docking stickers" disappeared when I let go of the left
mouse button. The video implies they stay visible until used. In the
video, there are docking stickers at the left, right, top and bottom and a
centralized set of the four. Mine does not display a "central sticker" as
shown in the video.
This is limitation
of the video (actually RoboHelp used to produce it).
On the video the
mouse just moves and there is no way to tell you that you should DRAG
(i.e. PUSH MOUSE BUTTON - HOLD DOWN - MOVE - AND RELEASE in
target position).
It all works with DRAG operation (you move panes in
DRAG-AND-DROP).
Various stickers appear depending on mouse
position. Drag your mouse over screen and you will see how they
change.
does not seem to be a way to drag an
individual chart tab
Again - charts are NOT docking panes.
There are two kind of windows:
1. docking panes (
View->Symbols/Layers/Layouts/Charts/Profile/Notepad/Interpretation) - which
are in SINGLE instance
and can be docked, floated,
etc.
2. CHART windows which live in MDI layout that have
multiple instances. (accessible and manageable by Windows-> menu)
Docking panes are somewhat of extension of
"toolbar" concept .
While chart windows represent "document" (in MS
Word methaphor).
Best regards,

Subject: RE: [amibroker] Tear off
tabs
Several observations and a call for help on what I am
missing with some of the new features.
I immediately thought that "Tear Off Tabs" meant I
could move the tabs AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHICH SELECT PANES by dragging
them. It does not seem to be so, or else I would appreciate knowing how
to do it. Right now I am assuming that the "Tabs" referred to are the
tabs in the panes at the left side of the screen for "Symbols", "Layers",
etc. How wonderful it would be to drag the Chart Pane Tabs to new
positions.
I struggled with the draging as the "docking
stickers" disappeared when I let go of the left mouse button. The video
implies they stay visible until used. In the video, there are docking
stickers at the left, right, top and bottom and a centralized set of the
four. Mine does not display a "central sticker" as shown in the
video.
But...does not seem to be a way to drag an individual
chart tab, but still a lot of nice improvements, esp the autohide feature that
gives more screen space for the charts.
Thanks,
Ken
Hello,
"Tear-off" means that you can click on tab and
DRAG it somewhere...
it undocks from original pane and can be left
"floating" or docked in completely different pane.
(Previously it was not possible as
Symbols/Layouts/Layers/Charts were connected together
into one "workspace" pane and you were not able
to move say 'charts' alone somewhere else)
