Collapsible Sections

[wblanton]

Would enable user to collapse/expand sections. This function would make it easier for the user to visually refer to where they are at/headed to with their outline.

[tklein]

This will hopefully make it into 0.1 :-)

[tklein]

Do you think this should be done both for the text view and for the outline view? If yes, why?

[tklein]

Will not be done with 0.1... moving to 0.2

[wblanton]

I would think just the text view. Sometimes when I work with outlines I like the idea of being able to see the major section titles without the broken down sections.

[tklein]

I was thinking the same. I will implement that function for the text view.

For the outlining view on the left side it would make more sense to be able to reduce the number of shown levels to a certain amount. I could add a simple selection box for that purpose. What do you think?

[wblanton]

I'm not sure what you mean by selection box? Like a drag/select tool?

[tklein]

Well, that selection box would look like:

Number of levels shown: [all]v
                           4
                           3
                           2
                           1

According to this setting the number of outline levels shown in the outline view could be easily reduced. This especially makes sense if you have a very detailed outline and you just want to get a quick overview. Otherwise you would have to scroll a lot, to see the main points...

[wblanton]

Silly me, Yes I had originally imagined the option would be available in the outline tab as well... I like the "view levels" option"

[tklein]

Just created a new ticket for that purpose (#60)

Postponed to milestone:0.3 since we want to have a "on time" release.

Postponed to next milestone
