<DIV>Georg,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree. The changing locations of buttons are distracting and sometimes discouraging to users.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Currently, the user can turn toolbars off/on. Also, the toolbars are dockable/undockable.</DIV>
<DIV>But the program determines the toolbar's location every time it appears.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suggest that buttons and toolbars become gray and inactive when invalid, not disappear.</DIV>
<DIV>They would stay visible, but inactive, in the same location that the user placed them.</DIV>
<DIV>Then when they become valid the user will know exactly where to find them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This would make gvSIG faster to use, smoother, and more professional.</DIV>

<DIV><BR>>>> georgsedlmeir <georg.sedlmeir@muenchen.de> 3/3/2011 8:45 AM >>><BR>Dear list,<BR>when a user switches between different modes in gvSIG, for example by<BR>activating the edit mode for a layer, or also by clicking a button to open a<BR>dialogue, the position of the buttons below the menu bar changes a great<BR>deal (i.e. the "show attributes or selected layers" button). I recently had<BR>a talk with some colleagues who consider it cumbersome to go searching for<BR>buttons in varying positions whenever and I think there's some truth to<BR>that. It goes without saying that a menu bar handling most of gvSIG's<BR>functionality can't be static, but maybe it would help if at least the basic<BR>functions would remain in the same position during a session. <BR>Maybe it would be an alternative to make the buttons' positions and<BR>visibility configurable (grouped by functions) or dockable/undockable. Any<BR>opinions or suggestions on this?<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR>Georg<BR><BR>--<BR>View this message in context: <A href="http://osgeo">http://osgeo</A>-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Shifting-position-of-buttons-tp6085243p6085243.html<BR>Sent from the gvSIG users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Gvsig_internacional mailing list<BR>Gvsig_internacional@listserv.gva.es<BR><A href="http://listserv.gva.es/cgi">http://listserv.gva.es/cgi</A>-bin/mailman/listinfo/gvsig_internacional<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
