Hi,
image-processing modules *are not moved *up and down *in the GUI* but
*in the pixel pipe, *so that changes the actual order of application of
the corresponding filters. You are on for a lot of trouble if you handle
that as a workspace widgets reordering feature.
Reordering the (non image-processing) modules as a workspace management
might raise 2 concerns :
* a need for a global workspace/widgets layout editor (Qt app do that
a lot, GTK is not super keen),
* a possible confusion among users, because left panel reordering will
mean workspace reordering, but in right panel, it will mean pipe
reordering. 2 different behaviours for the seemingly identical
graphical widgets in the same app is not a good UX design.
Cheers,
Aurélien.
