I think Favorites and Files tab have similar structure BUT there is one main logical difference: Files tab shows files only from opened projects. So it can be viewed as file view on currently opened projects. Favorites tab can show (user can highly customize what to show) any file/folder accessible on machine with no connection to opened projects. I think it would not be good to mix these 2 approaches. It would result in one cumbersome tab with known scroll problem: When user expands some nodes subroot nodes (Favories links) would be shifted dows => user must scroll up/dows heavily to view/access them. (Maybe it is subjective feeling.) HIE should comment/decide this. Reassigning |
