FEATURE REQUEST: Tag Window Menu additional options

<< < (6/12) > >>

Matt:
We made the next build present the tag window style in the menu.  The shift shortcut has been retired.

I wondered if we could just remove the legacy tag window, but others on the team liked it.

HPBEME:
Fantastic Matt - and thank you again for implementing these features.

I was wondering if you had planned on ever deprecating the older tag window. I think it is the right decision to keep it - as someone noted earlier in this thread, for new users, or those who do not wish to spend time customizing anything, the legacy tag window makes things very simple.  I personally like how "large" edit fields expand the full height of the tag window for the legacy style - maybe someday you will incorporate that into the current tag window (rhetorical)?

Yes. Me Too.

Please incorporate that into the current tag window.
thanks,

Matt:
We'll try to use more height next build.  Thanks for the suggestion.

HPBEME:
I downloaded the latest MC and have been using the new expand/collapse menu options all weekend. I love it. Hopefully others find these new features as useful as I do. I am also thrilled that you added the menu option to toggle between the two tag window styles.

It makes complete sense to have expand/collapse as context menu items when right-clicking on a group header, but...  I would like to also access those options from the tag window header bar menu. It's a matter of what my mouse is closest to at any given moment, and many times that is the tag header menu icon. In addition, the header icon is big and easy to click, whereas the group headers are very narrow, and it is somewhat easy to right-click in the wrong spot.

And finally, instead of calling the two different tag Windows "Legacy" and "Modern", would you consider: "Show Basic Tag Window" and "Show Advanced Tag Window" to more accurately reflect each windows capability? Your nomenclature is fine, but thinking of new users, my suggestion immediately conveys a general idea of what makes them different.
