| Title | Provide Custom Icon bar/tool bar |
| Category | General |
| Description | Problem Statement Where a user has a number of plug-ins installed, the "add to tools" option can become unwieldy, resulting in difficulty in quickly running a particular plug-in, see; Better options for adding plugins to Tools menu Individual users may have a desire to regularly run a particular "action" (plug-in, open specific diagram, run specific query, or any "deep menu option"). A familiar way to do this in other software (e.g. Office Suites: Microsoft Office, LibreOffice etc.) is by having an icon on a toolbar, which when clicked runs the "action". Proposal FH should have functionality to: [1] Add/delete/hide/show custom toolbars. [2] The current default toolbar should be permanently shown and uneditable (in order to provide a constant environment to support). [3] Add/delete icons to those toolbars and associate with each of those icons an "action" possibly a custom icon image and a tooltip text. [4] "Actions" could cover existing FH actions: (a) Run a plug-in (the parameter being the plug-in name/internal reference) (b) Open a diagram (the parameter being the diagram name/internal reference) (c) Run a query (the parameter being the query name/internal reference) (d) Any existing menu accessible action (with the optional parameter being a parameter that that action may take) (e) [Future]Run a "macro" should such functionality be introduced [5] Back up functions should include the backing up of custom toolbars and associated icons/actions |
