Making Inspector more useful - Collapsed by default, maintaining state #1089

Closed Tiomat85 closed 1 week ago

Tiomat85 commented 3 weeks ago

In the spirit of looking at the Inspector as a whole, can I propose that on Swift launch all Inspector sections are collapsed by default rather than expanded, and we store by section name whether it is currently expanded/collapsed. If the sections are well organised and named it should be easy to find what you are trying to find, and clicking to expand a section (where you can see all section names because of not having everything expanded) is less hassle than needing to scroll 3 pages down.

This issue, if resolved, may also supersede Issue #66.

I don't think this is a good idea. See comments in the discussion.

Edit: Maybe I've misunderstood - so switching contexts (i.e. clicking on a different display panel) does not reset, right? That would be bad. I'll reply on the internal discussion thread.

Issue verified as fixed.

@cmeyer thoughts on #66? Also, this issue needs closing :)
