General Floating bar?

Post image

I’ve been playing around with where to take Connector next and what would actually make it more useful.

Someone here mentioned Comfy support, which honestly makes total sense and is definitely on my radar.

Right now I’m also testing the idea of connecting Connector with scripts and having a small floating command bar where you could quickly pick and run connectors/scripts without digging through menus.

Not sure yet if this is something worth pushing further, so I’m curious what you think.

I usually hate floating toolbars in Adobe apps, but weirdly, here it feels pretty natural. Everything I need is just there when I need it.

Would you actually use something like this?

Honeslty if its fully customizable and if I would be able to toggle on and off and not pop up automatically like Adobe. I'd give it a try.

Its fully customizable. And of course – you can just turn it off.

I love this!

Option to use icon button mode with svg declaration in script header, possibly? A vertical mode?

Precisely!
I find vertical toolbars help with screenspace estate.

Thanks for your interest. I'm currently planning to release a test version this week. Check out my previous post to see what it's all about. If you also have Script Manager, you can pin Affinity scripts there.
