hi,

firstly, i'd like to read some more suggestions on where to put the previews 
-- is evryone ok with the current placment?

@aaron: does this re-introduce the space issues?

@thomas: is configurability an option?

something different -- im working on my presentation for friday and noticed 
that i want to show the package installation and plugin cinfiguration dialogs, 
but skip the first tab where you can load/unload packages. i asked myself: why 
is that?

i came to the conclusion that i never used it, probably never ever in all the 
years i'm working with RKWard. and that's not because it's not potentially 
useful, but because it feels too many clicks away. at least, compared to 
quickly typing a library() call. how about you?

i then tried to think of a place where this functionality would need to be so 
i would actually use it from time to time. and i thought: in a new sidetab 
directly below the workspace and file browser. and instead of two lists and 
arrow buttons to "move" packages from available to loaded and back, i would 
like something really easy, like one list of package names with some indicator 
that marks currently loaded ones, and one-klick (or double-click) 
loading/unloading. what do you think?


viele grüße :: m.eik
