Hey guys!
[snip]
saw that the program has something like an "command" frame on the bottom where you can input commands and get info on the parameters you can use with it. Could we have something like this? It could be toggled on/off and be complimentary to tooltips, etc.
The command-input in autocad is more familiar with the xml-editor than it is with the statusbar, so this should maybe in a different thread... still it might be nice for some use cases to easily toggle the editor.
However, concerning the statusbar: It should be _single_ line because everything else takes up too much screen property, is probably not compliant with the HIG and looks ugly ;) I think that the idea with the tooltip is pretty good, but that since (at least for my preferences) the font in the tooltip has the same size as in the statusbar, this would in some cases only work, if the tooltip had multiple lines. Another possibility would be scroll buttons for the text, of a button to pop up a dialog. However, I prefer the tooltip.
Take care!
