Topic: Dock completion window to the main window

While using Siren i need often the completion window to lard whats the right parameter.

It would be handy if we could dock (optional?) this completion window into the main window.
Just make an another hide-able window like the "thump nail Image Viewer" below.

But if this can be done in top, i.e. above of the 'file window' would be much better,
so it's nearer the expression box.

That way the completion window is quick by hand to lard and not in the way.

Right now i must open the completion window, insert an parameter,
press ESC to close the completion window to see whats happens, open the completion window,
search an other parameter,...


Would this be an improvement?

I don't really understand why you're doing all this.
Despite being movable and resizable the completion window is a modeless tool window.
This means that it will remain always on top while keeping Siren's main window accessible for all operations.
So you can open it, choose a variable, manually rework the expression, choose another variable ... etc ...

Did i understand your needs ?

Ok
i can resize the image preview bar
and resize the completion window too
and put it in this area.
This what i want (but rather on the top by the expression box)

Not bad at all.

This his only a little bit circumstantially for me.

An completion box like the image preview box
would have an more pro touch, i think.
And with this up and down arrows more practically.... hmm i.e. more obviously for an new user.


But it's all an kind of habit.
Was just an Idea, sorry.
