    Thanks for your replies.<br>
    <br>
    This idea came out this morning mainly from the labelling gui, where
    I think the tree widget might be really useful. And I am wondering
    if a general mechanism of integrating dialogs in others by merging
    their left panels should be developed.<br>
    <br>
    Otherwise, regarding the plugins settings in the main dialog, I got
    your point and I almost agree ;)<br>
    <br>
    Thanks again,<br>
    <br>
    Denis<br>

              <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Well, I like the
                idea of having everything grouped.<br>
                <br>
                For example in pyCharm everything is in one dialog:
                application and project settings. And you can search for
                anything in a search bar.<br>
                <br>
                If the left panels can be nested (as suggested
                previously), I would even consider integrating the
                project settings in the main settings.<br>
                <br>
                I would leave them directly accessible from menus of
                course, but just as shortcuts leading to the main dialog
                but with the right panel open.<br>
                <br>
                You then would have everything accessible at one place.</div>

            <div style="">I'm a heavy pycharm user but I find their
              settings implementation completely overwhelming. Even with
              the search functionality I can never find particular
              settings easily. Given that experience, it makes more
              sense to me if we keep options close the thing that is
