Improvement on Navigator

Hi!
I have a suggestion for improvements to the navigator.

Look at the screenshot.

In the area I pointed to with a red arrow, you will see that the delete icon on the element is outside the visible area. I have to scroll to the right to see it.
*Scrolling to the left/right on the navigator is not a good UX experience.

When I scroll to the right, I see this.

The right side of each element is not well aligned because of the nested elements. Feeling untidy.

It would be great to see it this way.

On the right side, all the elements on the navigator are right-aligned, making the entire navigator look nicer.

And the other side(left side of the elements), you will still see the nested elements. With this improvement, we don’t need a scrollbar within the navigator. And we can easily use all the icons on all the elements.

Navigator vs Structure Panel

Any feedback is welcome.

Hi @jornes,

Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you try making the navigators from both builders the same width and see how they compare?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Louis
Sure! I’ll do the comparison as you suggested when I back to my computer again tomorrow. Just shut down it and ready to sleep. :blush:

Hey @Louis
As promised, I checked the navigator this morning.

I expanded the navigator to the exact width of another builder. Everything in the navigator behaves the same as another builder. All the elements on the navigator on the right side are right-aligned. That is great. But, all these are applied when the navigator is expanded.

The feedback I have:

  • I think there needs to be a bigger space on the right because there is no fresh air to breathe there.
  • Also, I’d suggest giving the navigator a bigger min-width by default, and the users can still make it smaller whenever they want by dragging the panel.

Any feedback is welcome.
