[Bf-committers] Patch [#36028] New 4-column layout for the editor-type-selector menu...

[David Jeske]

Of course there are many possible groupings, headings and orderings. You
can see some of the others I considered here..

Did you read the grouping definitions on the tracker entry? ...

+ /* Workspaces - author new data directly */
+ /* Tools - alternate editing views on the data being created in
workspaces */
+ /* Asset Management (Tools) - browse, manage, load, mix, and process
assets for use in workspaces */
+ /* Scripting - Script 3d objects, the UI, and the BGE. */

By these definitions....

Movie clip editor/tracker does not author new data. It extracts it from an
asset.

NLA editor is not an alternate view and editor of data being edited in 3d
view. It "packages" animation data into an asset, removing it from the 3d
view, and allows mixing and composing those assets.

Which is not to say the definitions are "correct" or the only definitions.
However, to discuss alternate groupings, it would be nice to have alternate
definitions which make sense.
