Re: Headers in Treeview could we remove them?
Just for a bit of counterweight, review a bit the options and use of the tree columns in Creo and NX for example, to see from where this is coming and why/how it can be useful...

I propose the following...
1: rename the "application" part of tree view to the filename.
2: remove headers completely
3: make the description text show as a tooltip with a 400 millisecond delay on mouse focus.
Re: Headers in Treeview could we remove them?
Is the description column same as label2?
I have used it a lot (in the past) and found it very helpful, but...
seldom use it nowadays, because it occupies valuable space.
If it could be converted to a kind of tool tip I would love it again

Yes! Label2=description.
AS far as I read here:
Code: Select all
treeView->header()->hide()

Re: Headers in Treeview could we remove them?
Maybe I don't understand. We already have a node for the document. The Application node is the root of the tree. There's only one and I don't think there's any utility to it.
4. Remove the description column so the object label can occupy the entire width of the panel.2: remove headers completely
3: make the description text show as a tooltip with a 400 millisecond delay on mouse focus.

I see that the headline costs real estate.
I don't see where the description column costs real estate and thus I don't see how removing it will save space. I make the widget smaller and that's it::

Re: Headers in Treeview could we remove them?
True. Column resize is disabled and it favors the first column.
Still, since Label2 is a hidden property and, it appears, hardly anyone is using it for descriptions, It makes more sense to put it into a tooltip and ditch the second column. It's cleaner.
Re: Headers in Treeview could we remove them?
If the property is filled out, it will take up UI space, additionally, if an overlay style form of the tree view, such as found in linkstage, is ever implemented it will become a problem. Implementing this type of change now essentially loses nothing and would make such a future change as overlay less problematic down the road, in my opinion.
I'm of the mind that anything which effectively minimizes interface in relation to the work area without negative impact, it is good. No matter how minimal that is.
Re: Headers in Treeview could we remove them?
That's probably what it's all about: If the property is filled out, then because someone wants to show it.
