It's easy to mess the pane system #266

If you mess one of the dialogs, it's not easy to get it back. This is because the arrow alingment system isn't intuitive.

Now they are resizing independtly from each other. When previously they would be together.

P.S: Where do you create an ECMA script? I can't find it anywhere in the UI. But nice work with 1.0 man! This is the best motion graphics open source app I found in years. I will try to contribute something

The UI needs some documentation, will work on that when I get the time. I'm also open for suggestions regarding how the docks should work. I do not want to use Qt's dedicated dockwidget as I have had many issues with them in the past.

Where do you create an ECMA script?

See "Set Expression" right-click action on any property.

As the app gets more complex, you'll need a better docking system anyway. I would not recommend you making a custom docking system. It's a pain to get right and you get bugs easily.

It's not really a docking system, you just move widgets to different QSplitters, or like the timeline move it to a QDialog/QWindow for use on a different screen etc.
