What does Jeff's toolbar do that the new windows management in Logos 4 can't?

does that mean the answer is "no,Custom toolbars are not supported." I was wondering about the Object model as well. Will it be available to us? will I be able to perform Libronix functions from Office VBA?

Phil,
The windows managment feature is nice for making windows smaller (dividing existing windows in half), but it's often hard to make windows bigger. For example, if you have 4 vertical columns, and you want to make a resource double wide, you can't really do that easily. SUGGESTION: You could use the CTRL key while you drag, and then allow the blue size-preview window to cover more than one existing window, so that when you release it resizes ALL the windows that were underneath the blue area to the new size. For example, if you had 4 vertical columns, with each column having 3 resources tabs, you could CTRL-drag the blue screen over two of the vertical columns and then end up with 6 resouces tabs in a half-screen window, with the other side of the screen still having the original 2 columns of 3 resouces each. I think that would not only eliminate the need for Jeff's toolbar, but it would provide added functionality of not hiding resouces behind others, and also would allow resizing of multiple resouces as once.

Shift+Drag (from either the leftmost or the rightmost column) should do what you're looking for.
(Ctrl+Drag opens a new copy of the dragged tab, while Shift+drag moves all the tabs in that panel at once.)

Very cool. I love it! Thanks!

Hi Bradley.
thanks for the tips, it is starting to make more sense now, but there is one question...
why does ctrl drag and shift drag not seem to work if dragging into an empty space (area with no resources).
eg. opening a resource opens in the LHS. Open some similar resources using the + tab, and they open in the LHS. Ctrl/Shift drag them to the RHS, where there is nothing yet, seems to move one rsource, not copy a resource and not copy/move more than one resource.
BTW. Can I suggest some hover text over the + button to indicate what it is going to do, and a context menu to modify that behaviour?

Hi Martin,
I may not be understanding you properly, but I'm unable to reproduce your problem as described. I opened a Bible on the LHS; I then clicked the + tab twice to open two more. (Or possibly this was broken in Beta 1, but it's already been fixed in the latest code?)
I I drag a tab, I can move that one Bible to the RHS.
If I CTRL+drag a tab, I can make a copy of that Bible on the RHS.
If I SHIFT+drag a tab, I can move all my open Bibles to the RHS.
If I CTRL+SHIFT+drag a tab, I can copy all my open Bibles to the RHS.
