Easier select controls and labels in a menu

Status: Declined

I ask for a general rework for selecting controls and indicators in a menu.

There are several locations where you select a front panel element. And it is done in several ways.

  • for local variables, the elements are sorted alphabetically by name
  • references are in a tree with containers as nodes, children are sorted alphabetically
  • it is the same tree when linking a property or invoke node
  • in event structures, the controls are ordered by the adding order
  • ... are the more places where you select controls?

What I dislike is ordered by adding order. The other two depend on the front panel (and on my brain). I would like to choose the sorting and maybe some filtering myself. I do not know how it could look but some ideas will probably come from the community.

 

 

An idea for local variables is here. (I tagged it with ControlsMenu too.)

I tagged the ideas for event cases with ControlsMenu_EventCase.
