Dock the Action List window - anyone know if this is possible (XE8)? 

I'm working on a project with a reasonably complex action list, it would be really handy to dock the action list into one of the containers (preferably alongside the project and tool palette tabs, but I could live with it as a tab in the object inspector's container too).

    I don't think it is possible, but it's a great idea!

    :-) Hey David, if you feel suitably enthused, please feel free to go for it. I'll happily do my bit when it comes to ponying-up a license and getting the word spread around afterwards!

    I'm not sure how possible it would be - but I can look into it.  I have a long, long list of things to write as plugins, though, and several months of work just for the ones I have currently scheduled :/

    Maybe file it in QP? It seems a neat small feature of the sort they could drop in quite easily.

    Ah, I don't seem to be able to add new features/requests via the Jira interface.

    In fact, there's not a lot I can do at all through it, I may need to have a look at this first.

    You have to file everything as a bug.  Apparently it gets labeled as a feature request internally, but never externally. Even if we can only create bugs, I'd very much like that info to flow back from the internal system to the external.  Marco Cantù ?

    It is not possible, but well there is now at least a feature request. It was already asked here some months ago https://plus.google.com/116383953624489412477/posts/dSgBDsggu9x

    It should be something that can be done, but changes to the current behavior are not that trivial, because there are several editors of that kind, some components have more than one property with such an editor and now one can have a editor for each component open. Docking it into the Object Inspector would not be a good idea, because the selected
    items in the editors have properties too. I would dock it between the Object Inspector and the Structure pane.
