Extend "Symbols" widget (icon setting, list mode)

[ghost]

Actual behaviour

Currently for change icon size on "Symbols" widget need go to main "Settings... > Editor"

Expected behaviour

Add this setting directly in "Symbols" widget

Also add "List mode" option for switch display each icon per line as combination of [Icon] - Name (more details soon)

Configuration

Mapper Version: 0.8.x Operating System: All supported

Why? You will just change this setting very rarely. Better have it hidden to not eat screen space while working with small devices. Please tell what this will be used to. Maybe I just miss the point.

@Zerbembasqwibo, what about key shortcut "Ctrl+Scroll In"/"Ctrl+Scroll Out" (while cursor placed over "Symbols" widget) for zooming symbols icons?

And what about placing "List mode" in context menu of "Symbols" widget?

Then, no need extra details, that will save more space on screen.

I think we talk about different things? When in forest on Android you have no "ctrl"-function. It when in forest I mainly want to save space, when at PC, of course nice to have compact screen but not as important.

About your idea, very good idea about Ctrl-scroll for zooming! List mode, I can't say, I see no use of it yet. Maybe someone else can give opinion about that.

I won't clutter the symbol widget with a zoom setting. Mouse wheel zooming was suggested before.

IMO, grouping would be more important than a list mode, especially for when there are many icons.

OK, adding shortcut "Ctrl+Scroll" would be good solution (also it could be realized on Android/touch devices as two-finger zoom).

Well, as for me all next changes should be in "Symbols" widget:

• "Grouping" (as subwidget, that could be hided) - must have;
  • "All symbols" (in-built group) - show all (now we has only this mode in Mapper);
  • "Symbols in use" (in-built group) - show only used symbols;
  • "<Name of group>" (custom group) - show symbols only of each custom group;
  • This also require adding some "Group settings" or "Group:" field in "Symbol setting" (that also could be blank)
  • "Ungrouped" (in-built group) - show only symbols that has blank group setting;
• "Search symbol" (input field) - for filter/search specifical symbol in large symbol sets by words included in "Number", "Name" and "Description" of each symbol;
• "List mode" (option in context menu) - very usefull for large symbol sets that is new for user (especially usefull for new users).

Here is example of similar options presented in LeoCAD ("Parts" widget)

I like the way it is now - enlarge/ decrease icons sizes in Settings.

However I like the idea of prioritizing some symbols. It would be great if the Symbol set could be on screen permanently if needed (Android). A prioritized group of symbols would then appear. As suggested in #948.

@dg0yt, any ideas on implementing "Symbols group"? Maybe filtering symbols could solve this task as I propose above:

"Search symbol" (input field) - for filter/search specifical symbol in large symbol sets by words included in "Number", "Name", "Description" of each symbol;

However I like the idea of prioritizing some symbols.

Think by adding customized "Symbols Groups/Categories", in similar way as it implemented in LeoCAD would be best choise.

Also, OCAD already has such feature — "Symbol groups & subgroups". Here is post in «Orienteering Mappers Int.» (Facebook group) with OCAD symbols groups customizing tutorial (with screenshots):
