Docking the single attribute editor widgets will make the widgets shorter under the normal window sizing. So, the edit widgets won’t conveniently display long strings. I’m not sure what direction to take with this dialog:

1. Keep the dialog and make it non-modal
2. Dock the widgets in the sidebar under the object tab
3. Dock the widgets in the sidebar under the object tab and add a button to launch an edit dialog that handles long strings better

With the edit slot number dialog, these widgets aren’t editing actual object properties, but attributes. I’m not sure what direction to take with this dialog:

1. Dock the widgets in the sidebar under the object tab
2. Dock the widgets in the sidebar under a new tab with a name TBD

If these widgets get docked in a separate tab, additional widgets could be added. These widgets could edit attributes that are frequently changed at the same time in the workflow.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ed
