So I’ll be the contrary one. First, I do agree with getting the number of access points down. However, I find myself turning the ratsnest on and off a lot. And the toolbar is /much/ easier than the layers palette for that. As far as Preferences, I agree that it’s the right place for curved/straight (well, actually I’d be inclined to just offer curved, but I already lost that fight). But why have shown/not shown in preferences? And for that matter units and coordinates. These aren’t really set-and-forget types of things, and the options toolbar is both easier to access and more visible for inspection. So how about removing in/mm and polar/cartesian from Preferences (and leaving them and ratsnest on/off in the options toolbar), rather than moving ratsnest on/off to Preferences?
OK. It sounds like we are in agreement that the ratsnest on/off doesn't belong in preferences but curved and probably show-on-move settings do.
I'll take global ratsnest out of preferences and take the curved icon off of the left bar. Can I also remove global ratsnest options from the View menu?
@Jeff- What if I added hotkey handling for toggling view items like the ratsnest? Would that address the rapid switch issue?
I'd like to put in/mm in the board settings (for the current board) and remove it from the preferences panel and side toolbar. You can already set the grid to inches/mm so switching the display units is less likely (I think) and would usually be on a per-project-basis.
Best- Seth
