[Feat] wxGUI: Move Projection Statusbar Settings to Map Display Settings

Open lindakarlovska opened this issue 4 months ago • 6 comments

The current location of the Projection settings in the GUI settings is not intuitive because they relate specifically to the status bar map window display.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the Projection settings are hidden within the GUI settings despite only affecting the status bar coordinate values in the map window. This creates confusion as users might not expect to find map-related display settings in the general GUI settings.

Current settings location:

settings_proj

Describe the solution you'd like To improve usability, these settings should be moved to the Map window settings since they only influence the coordinates displayed in the map's status bar and do not affect the actual project coordinates.

The Map window settings currently look like this:

map settings

There are basically two ways how to improve the settings :

  • extend the existing Status Bar tab to include Projection settings.
  • create a new tab called "Projection" specifically for these settings.

I am opening the discussion about the final appearance - so,

  • Would extending the Status Bar tab or creating a new Projection tab be more appropriate?
  • Are there any other map-related settings that could also benefit from being relocated?
