1: I would love to see B4X store the locations of the dockable panels (Libraries Manager, Modules, etc) in a text file so we can save our layouts. One reason to save the layouts is because if we happen to need to reinstall Windows or we get a new computer, it's somewhat of a inconvenience that we have to manually position the panels to the way we had them before.

2: With the Logs panel, I would like to to see the combination of the top and bottom list boxes, much like other IDEs.

3: I would like to see a combination of the Modules and Files panel with recursive folder support. (Think Visual Studio's solution explorer.) This would allow us to organize our modules and files. (If this is implemented, module and file organization could be done from right within the IDE.)

4: A overhaul of the tab system. Instead of just the code editor being in a tab, the whole view would be in a tab. This would also allow for the Visual Designer to become a tab instead of a separate window. (Added info: This could also allow for a "per tab process" implementation like how browsers handle tabs.)

1. The layouts are stored in two xml files. You can find them under C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\Basic4android
Awesome :)

2. Can you provide a screenshot?
Basically, I would like the Logs panel to go from this:

To this:

Basically, have everything from errors and warnings to the build output be contained in a single ListBox. Another solution is to have two tabs titled "Errors & Warnings" and "Build Output".
