Description Dani Megert CLA 2006-09-26 03:51:56 EDT 
3.3 M2

When maximizing in the 3.3 Presentation all other view stacks get minimized to different locations using a heuristic. I can then manually place all of them e.g. to the left side, however they are often placed somewhere else the next time. Besides making the current heuristic predictable and stable the user should be able to tell the view stack where it gets placed.

I like this...let me think about how to do it...the problem is that the stacks aren't 'named' so persistence is somewhat of an issue. I need to find some 'id' that is unique to a particular stack but which also survives restarts (location perhaps?). Any ideas?
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2006-09-26 10:50:27 EDT 
Maybe we could compute an ID out of the (restored) location.
Comment 3 Eric Moffatt CLA 2006-10-02 11:31:03 EDT 
This is all part of the new trim layout code (if I can ever get back to it...); the minimized bars are already have ids so what we really need are 'placeholders' for trim that my re-appear...

Changing blocking state and marking as fixed in >20070228.

Verified in 20070321-0010.

Trim locations are persisted across sessions. Once a bar has been placed in a particular spot it'll always to back there.
