Customizeable Toolbar

[Roger Edrinn]

After spending several days doing edits with the edit toolbar I found it to be a huge improvement over the old R-C and search the text fields. Thanks for this improvement.

However I found too many tool icons on the bar that I didn't use, which made for visual clutter. I found I often hovered waiting for the tool tip to pop-up to be sure I had the right tool.

I'd like to see something on the order of the Overlay Control Center > Vector Options > Attribute Naming Setup dialog, where tools can be added/deleted from the bar.

If not already available, I'd like a Show/Not Deleted Features icon to toggle that "tool". Currently it's a open dialog > select tab > click box > click back out, quite painful to do multiple times.

Since making meaningful icons is not fun, perhaps a number or letter could be used with a pop-up tool tip. The brain quickly learns the association.

Eventually a way to customize what is on the toolbar would be ideal. I think I will stick with image icons for the functions as I don't think a toolbar full of letters would look very professional nor would it be more memorable than a picture. I would think most users could remember a picture that is in some way associated with the operation rather than a random letter. In addition using letters wouldn't translate well to the non-English versions of Global Mapper.

Thanks,

Eventually doesn't sound to immediate.

Adding customizable toolbars isn't particularly easy and isn't a very high priority compared to a lot of the other things on the todo list, so it will be a low priority.
