FR - Add Cabinets from menu
Now that we have the ability to add modules from a menu instead of the library display, it would be handy if we could add cabinets from the same menu.

Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
Good idea. (= Are you thinking of a single blank cabinet or saved cabinets. Or both?
Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
The menu I am thinking of already has an option to add an empty cabinet, I would like to see an Add Cabinets... option for saved cabinets like the current Add Modules... option. I suppose the Empty Cabinet option could be nested below "Add Cabinet..."

Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
I may have misunderstood your question.
I was thinking about adding a cabinet preset as a new cabinet from the menu but it might be useful to have an insert cabinet preset into an existing cabinet option too. To goal is to build patches from modules and cabinet presets with the library collapsed.

Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
Ok - thanks for the mock up! We will probably implement this. I would also add a Recently Used Modules category that could be handy for the library and the right click.
Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
Thanks
Not as much a fan of recently used lists as much as frequently used lists especially given the is a duplicate module feature but I am probably in the minority.

Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
And if we did a frequently used list, how frequent should the usage be determined by...ie: Over 10 times, etc? Any thoughts on that?
Re: FR - Add Cabinets from menu
Why would there be a threshold? Just like an MRU, there would be a fixed number of slots. It may take a while for the list to be meaningful but my guess is the 10-20 most frequent modules would sort themselves out quickly.
While thinking about faster ways to access modules, if there were a User tab. Move the favorites user the User tab and allow users to create additional categories to contain both modules and cabinets. The User tab could also contain other automatic lists like MRU and frequency. Also would be nice to have a copy and rename function for cabinets.

The forum did not like my last post. Tried to embed 2 images but the forum (and I) got a little confused.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for the extra feature suggestions, as well.
