>all Library widgets are tight connected and not able to live without each other
I've seen a screenshot from 1.6 where the library links were in a combobox - any idea whether there was there a lot of work to switch it over to the tree from that? I'm looking through /src/library/ to see if there's anything obvious which explains how things fit together (and were changed to the tree), but basically don't know where to start.

I suppose the interface widget could be loaded in based on a config key - e.g. <attribute config_key="[Library],nav_widget">ComboBox</attribute> (or 'Sidebar' or 'TabBar')? Though this does assume that all the library widgets would all be the same - e.g. you couldnt have one tab bar and one dropdown.

It definitely seems like there's two tasks involved here though - 1) allowing for multiple libraries, and 2) allowing the library nav widget to be changed. Personally, I feel that having multiple libraries is the bigger functionality boost - the widgets would just help usability when there *are* multiple libraries.

Is there anything I can do to help move that along? e.g. help finding the references to a fixed, singular table?
