So, in essence we'd be mixing these modes to create a dialog that would appear upon selecting a menu item -- but would remain as you continue to work with the document. It is less of an "OK" check box coming up and more of a palette.
Yes, it's a mix, but I don't see any problem with that. It's actually more similar to Export, which is also always-on but performing one-time actions (though it does not visibly change the document).
Good point.
Now I think one thing that bothers me is the idea that there could be hundreds of new palettes created by doing this. Every effect would have it's own.
How it's different from what we have now? Well, actually many effects have no params and dialogs at all now, and they will not receive them because of the changes we're discussing.
I guess the key difference for me is that you couldn't have all of them open at the same time before. Now, in theory, you could open them. I need a few 24" monitors :)
Does it make sense to have an "Effects Palette" instead?
I don't think it's a good idea. One monstrous dialog with inconvenient tab selection, instead of a menu? Why? What problem does it solve?
I guess I don't see it as monstrous dialog. I doubt it'll end up bigger than the fill and stoke one :) But yes, the tabs would be a touch awkward.
