Too Many Options for the Options Bar
For one of my scripts, I need a lot of options and I have too many to fit. What's happening is the options bar automatically creates a button at the far right side with two arrows. If you click this button, the options that don't fit appear on a second options bar line below. The problem is that this second line that gets created is covered up by the main window. It also disappears if you move the mouse off of the options bar (instead of clicking the two arrows button as expected). What is the recommended way to solve this issue? Is the options bar limited to a small enough number of options widgets?

At that point I would revert to a dialog.333onlyhalfevil wrote: ↑Mon Mar 10, 2025 6:29 pmFor one of my scripts, I need a lot of options and I have too many to fit.
For example the FlexPainter dialog would be a mess when transposed to the Options Toolbar with .setUiOptions(...)
Another example are the Drawing Preferences when in Print Preview mode ... The 'page settings' button.
These 11 pages of preferences would also not fit on the Options Toolbar side by side.
