Add a option to customize the tab #15

Closed xan2622 closed 4 years ago

Hi.

Description about the feature

Could you please add an option in the preferences of your add-on to give the user the choice of the tab to display your add-on? (in order to move the add-on from its own tab to a custom one).

Some users might want to place your add-on in the Edit or in the Tool tab... (or elsewhere).

I invite you to read this related topic (if you want): https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/dzdbbc/

According to the number of votes, there are many people who don't like having many tabs vertically in the N panel. The only workaround is to add an option in the addon preferences.

This option is very convenient for the user, especially when there are many add-ons that add their own tab on the N panel (it could become overcrowded vertically).

Are you willing to contribute about this feature. (Yes/No)

No.

Maybe you could have a look at the source code of these (free) add-ons (to reuse the lines related to this feature)?

Thanks! It seems good idea to provide an option to hide panel. After some investigations, I will add this feature.
