PMC Integration with Options

Unread post by x-15a2 » 2015-07-16, 15:20

Would it be practical for Pale Moon Commander to be integrated into the Options screen, much the way that Tab Mix Plus does?:

or maybe as a tab in the Advanced screen? Sometimes I can't remember if what I'm looking for is found in Options or PMC, so having them integrated would be sweet.

Thanks,

You do realize that your screenshot is missing an essential control because of that button, right?...

I'd prefer not to integrate the PMC options into the main options window, for fear of making it an "F-16 cockpit" with too many options and buttons ;)
It's also annoying to call one dialog from another and properly handle focus and enable/disable of controls.

Yeh, that's why I thought an extra tab would be a good option

Yeh, I get that and it makes sense. Going back to the Tab Mix example, that ill-placed button does call another dialog, but I don't have a problem with that because it's not as clunky as shutting down Options and then navigating to open PMC. Maybe a good compromise would be to make the PMC button optional in the PMC.
