As I suspected, #McKinley’s floating palettes are polarising. (Although I’ve had more praise than complaints overall!)
Anyone used any great implementations of dockable palettes? (Adobe’s don’t count, I don’t think they’re great!)
I’m not going to go back to sidebars, but some kind of options/flexibility might work, if it doesn’t get in the way!
@amyworrall I love them! You did exactly what a powerful desktop app should do.
@marioguzman they’re not going away! And they’ll always be on by default :)
@amyworrall I think OmniGraffle used to do this a major version or two ago.
@boredzo @amyworrall All the Omni apps did this, when the standard Cocoa UI paradigm did this for inspectors (though IIRC it was a single inspector window, often they didn't let you break sections out from that singular inspector). As did iWork, and most Mac apps.
@amyworrall I definitely support the idea, but I would like it if they moved with the main window by default
