I have been thinking about that some time ago as I experienced the
postscript exporter is too tall for my laptop screen. Maybe it would be
nice to have some additional HID element types that could be used to
layout the dialog boxes instead of putting them in one big list. I.e. you
could group options in tabs or a seperaty rows. For the text based HIDS
you could just ignore those kind of HID elements.
Never got around to implement such a thing, but would it be an option?
