      Damn...everything is against us... ๐Ÿ˜›

      EDIT : The better alternative I see, is to do the same thing that Fredo6 did with Tools on surface plugin where a "toolbar" appears at the top of main window (where we draw) with all the tools and options of the plugins...

      This way, we could regroup tools and plugin by categories in order to have less toolbars displayed in SU.

      EDIT : Or maybe doing something like in Blender, some contextual menu giving access to everything...but all those things should be develop by google again...

        I agree with Panga. We need to find a way to have the plugins toolbars stay in place.

        I used a lot of plugins for my work everyday and I keep on adding new ones. So it is very frustrating an annoying to have to put them back in order every time a new plugin is added that messes everything up.

        Another thing too, is the toolbars will go crazy after we minimize the windows and come back to full size.

        Hopefully someone will find a fix to these issues.

        Thanks and have a terrific day!

            how hard would it be to create a ruby that creates a single floating toolbar containing all the tools installed in one panel?

            install a new ruby, run the panel ruby to add the new tool... the panel floating so there's no workspace muckup..

            just pulling this outta the air so don't take to seriously if it's a bad idea ๐Ÿ˜‰

              Or have all toolbars hidden hitting f11 shows them and hides them again?

                I think that one goes in the 'nice in theory but doesnt work in practice' pile. The major flaw that comes to mind is scrambled ruby scripts which cant be modified in any way unless you can get hold of the original file, but then that rather defeats the point of scrambling it.

                  I'm becoming crazy...after three days of work under SU, I'm afraid of minimizing any window...whatever the program I'm using, I'm juste thinking in my head "Don't do that you idiot !! You'll have to reorganize all your toolbars !!"...but then I realize that I'm not in SU and I can breathe freely...please Google...do something for me, I'm sick !!

                    It's certainly possible to replace most toolbars with a single window. I have taken to using a horrible, hacked-up, hand-coded WebDialog to replace all my Toolbars.

                    I think a4chitect's Launchit has a lot of potential.

                              So, five years later, SU's handling of toolbars still sucks. What exactly is it we're paying for if the devs ignore user issues with the most basic functionality?
