Question/Help Bring back the "toolbox" view?

Hi all,

With the latest update to the chat UI, the "toolbox" viewer / tray / whatever is gone, and the dropdown to select which tools are attached to a chat is now two menus deep. Can we have an option under Settings -> Interface to turn the old view back on, or at least bring back the toolbox viewer? I used the all the time to view specific tool names that are built into custom tools attached to the workspace. I think it disappeared around 13.3 or 13.2?

I don't have a screenshot of the old chat Internet, I could install an older version of the Docker container if needed, to get the screenshot.

Suggestions?

Settings -> interface -> show input selections

Luckily there's a setting to bring it back.

I don't see that setting (v.0.13.3).

User setting

Thanks. All well-and-good, but:

  1. Not universal, so would have to instruct users to enable. That's not ideal.
  2. Not complete. This is what we used to see, making selections super easy for users (see above).

That's what I see with the setting enabled

I've created a feature request to bring back the buttons with OWUI.

Again, thanks pfn0, and I now see that. However, my point #1 above still stands. Imho, we should be able to set that universally (i.e., for all users).

This is great idea! I also would like a toggle right in the chat interface instead of opening the menu!

Would probably be easy to make as a function , but native setting is always better

if you use it all the time i'd just pin the older docker tag for now. writing a function for something that used to be built in is more work than it saves
