Reordering of the buttons:
Hide
Unpause
Pause All

Preferences
Quit

Change History

Why would you put unpause before pause?

They need to go in logical order. When you first open the window, what is the mostly likely thing you want to do? Here is my suggested order...

Configure Client
Preferences
Pause All
Unpause All
Finish All
Hide
Quit

This was broken again in v7.3.6 after some hasty changes with no discussion of the changes.

In v7.3.6, the button order is...

About Preferences Exit | Configure View

The button order should be...

Configure Fold Pause Finish View | Preferences Exit ... About (at right)

Also, if you want less buttons, the Preferences could be moved to a Tab under the Configure button.

Yes, but Configure is for clients and Preferences is for the app.
They should not be combined in any way.

  Changed 3 years ago by 7im

That's logical. Keep Prefs and Config separate then. Just thinking out loud.

This is no longer relevant in 7.3.11.

  Changed 3 years ago by PantherX

I hope that the Fold Pause Finish buttons will come back since it is still relevant for Advanced Control AKA FAHControl.

Even if Fold Pause Finish buttons will go elsewhere, the existing toolbar buttons should still be reordered.
People don't like the current order.

Maybe use
Configure View | Preferences Exit ... About (at right)

This changes doesn't appear to have made it in to v7.3.11 as noted by milestone setting.

Please change it back. The fix is worse than the problem.

I agree with 7im and calxalot about the button order:
Configure Viewer | Preferences Exit ... About (Right Aligned)
