(Get the code!)
i agree, and would personally love to see the mockup implemented. the problem is a bit beyond that too, as you can see from my attachment.
after i click on the "edit gradient" button in the "fill and stroke" panel, [1] i need to go and also select a different stop than the selected one to edit the colors.. [2] but then the "flat color" button is depressed. [3] if i then go and click on the "stroke" tab and move the color sliders, the colors for the fill gradient change, not the ones for the stroke
a proposed solution would be to [A] have a separate tab in the fill and stroke panel dedicated to gradient editing (since you probably have that panel open anyways when editing a gradient) and you get sent to that tab when you edit it, and have all the top row buttons used in the gradient editing appear in that tab instead, thereby also saving on screen real estate.. or at least make it an option to choose which of the two appear (or both if need be).
i did look at the swatches panel, but i dont think it achieves that purpose. i guess a further solution would be [B] to make all gradients immediately a swatch, and have swatch editing as a tab in the fill and stroke panel (as mentioned in [A]), thereby killing all 3 birds with one stone... im not advanced in my use of inkscape, so im sure this last one has a host of other considerations and problems it would cause.. but just wanted to throw that out there in case it helps.
