[Feature Request] Grid Layout for icons in New Group window

Darthagnon commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to implement a grid layout in the New Group window?

Advantages:

Creating a group will now let you see how the final popup will look
GUI Simplification: "Width" and all those "move up/down" arrows can be deprecated, as group width/height is implicit from the number of items positioned in the X and Y directions on the grid. Positioning arrows no longer needed, drag/drop icons into new places on grid.
Deprecate delete buttons to context menu or a small top-right X next to an icon?

Honestly in my opinion I like the preview idea but I am not sure about doing an entire grid as a replacement. I think my main concern is working out the kinks of bulk importing items and screen size for large groups. There is also the issue how to handle empty spaces left as gaps in-between items and such. Not sure the practicality but I see how the idea would be appealing. I think it may be for the next major update to have that grid system as an alternative to the current system to allow the users to choose what they like. Perhaps a implementation could be that on the next screen over (tab or button?) you can see a preview and configure the application from there aswell.

I had a similar idea before, but wanted a quick solution for editing groups and therefor added the arrows instead.

I will look into the group editor in the future, perhaps for a full rework, and will take the grid layout in consideration.
