Option Groups for select controls #813

Open joeworkman opened 6 years ago

joeworkman commented 6 years ago

I would like to have a better way to organize options for a select control into groups. Something link the HTML optgroup would be great.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/optgroup

Right now we can add dividers using - as the value in the option. What if the syntax was updated like this... 

<dict>
<key>title</key>
<string>-</string>
<key>value</key>
<string>-</string>
</dict>

<dict>
<key>title</key>
<string>Option Group Label</string>
<key>value</key>
<string>-</string>
</dict>

The first example would be the simple divider. However, if a Title is provided, then instead of a divider it's an option group.

I know that you shot me down on slack for this idea. I thought maybe I would have better luck with you on drugs... ;-)

Show me an app that uses this UI. Just a screen shot will do.

Preferably some app that feels very mac-ish. And also something aimed a users with similar levels of experience.

e.g.: Photshoo is a bad example since it is very cross platform and also aimed at pro users.

Acorn and Sketch are good Mac apps, And it’s target market is closer to ours.

They both aim at expert users but not quite pro users) — both apps are still approachable for new users.

I’m always willing to reconsider when ai see another app that’s using a feature effectively.
