Simple customization of panel layout to clear/arrange space for different workflows

During triage I have read a number of issues very interesting with asks about some sort of panel layout customization.
Here is a proposal for some simple customization of the visible panels in order to allow the user to have the best arrangement of panels based on the workflow to accomplish.
A gear icon is created in each tab. This opens a pop up where one can either click the "eye icon" to hide the panel or the "star icon" to move it to the "BOOKMARK" tab.
Please take a look:
"
Probably next step is to save this to some .json file so the settings can be kept after restart
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

    Very interesting! Like the ability to hide things, because there's a bunch of stuff I have no idea how/when I would use. Some further suggestions if you haven't already done or thought of them:
    1. Hiding whole tabs (i.e. Services and Systems, Structural Analysis, Facility Management)
    2. Saving the reordering the existing panels within a tab, or in your favorites tab.
    3. A "Reset to default layout" option.

    @falken10vdl very interesting!
    I remember there was an option in the past where user can enable/unable different panels, but i think it isn't available anymore..
    I like the bookmark panel idea, it could be very useful!

    Here with the proposal from @sjb007

    The import/export is still WIP.
    Thanks!

    Excellent! Small suggestions:

    • Lose the load/save (import/export) buttons in the main interface if possible. Have them inside the popup dialog, along with a reset to default.
    • Is it possible for the top-most gear icon to be on the same row as the tabs, but still right aligned? It looks a bit peculiar pushing the tabs down a row like that.

    Something like this, right?

    Allocated 90% of the width to the left column (centered)

                    split = self.layout.split(factor=0.9)
                col_left = split.column(align=True)
                row_left = col_left.row(align=True)
                row_left.alignment = "CENTER"

    Let me get the loading/saving logic in place and I will submit a PR for review.
    Thanks!
