Title: Re-order layouts
Post by: Aubrey on February 11, 2018, 01:15:55 PM
Not a high priority, but....

It would be great to have an option to reorder layouts - perhaps move up, move down button.

Which layouts? File Window layouts? Metadata Panel Layouts?

Both features sort the layouts alphabetically. You can name them according to your taste. Or, just change the name to start with a digit (1, 2, ...) to sort them in any way you like. Works for both features.

Perfect... problem solved.

I'm glad I asked rather than just living with it!

That's exactly what I do.  My top 3 metadata layouts are named 1 Viewer, 2 Entry, 3 Details with the rest following.  Works great for me.

Basically the only difference between 1 and 2 is in #1 I have all metadata tags set to "Hide if empty" to maximize screen space, whereas the same fields in #2 are always visible.

The default layouts shipped with current versions of IMatch are also numbered.
