I've properly researched this idea but unfortunately it's too complicated, becauseThere is no MuLab controlled title bar there that can host the fold buttons.Thanks for the plugin update! Would it be possible for these two bars to be foldable as well?MuLab Plugin M9.5.14 beta for Windows 64 bit is available (...)
But i've taken note on the wishlist to research the option to include the top controls of the Main Module (the one with the file open/save buttons) into the project top panel (the one that includes the main menu), much alike integrating a main composer's transport into the project top panel.
1) It is at odds with the existing hierarchic structures hence it would take too much effort and exceptional code to realize it, and that could cause new complications too, so it does not feel the right way.
2) The visual result is a bit odd too because when those Main Module top controls are inside the very top area of MuLab plugin, it feels a bit too separated from what it is about. So that's another disadvantage.
3) That control panel is quite wide and it needs enough space in the top area, otherwise it should get back to its original position, above the front panel, as usual. And there are many smaller front panels were that is the case, so when stepping thru presets then that control panel would switch position all the time depending on the width of the front panel... Not ok.
Conclusion: Dropped that idea. A pity of the many hours researching this.
I do understand your request to minimize those main module top controls ( = the one with the preset file controls etc) for the main module in MuLab Plugin, but it will need the right ergonomic and economic solution. Maybe later.
