Visible Languages with SIB files

I see that 'Visible Languages' is only supported in SIL Editor with .sil files.

Is it not possible or practical to extend that to .sib files?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add such feature for SIB files.

Ah, well, that's too bad.

I had hoped that you could do something like the Fixed Languages dialog, but instead the checked languages could have their column widths set to zero. Un-checking would restore their widths to some default value.

Hmm, a column accidentally dragged to a zero width might then be more easily restored by checking then un-checking it instead of having to edit the Registry.

Settings for "Visible languages" are stored inside file so when you reopen this file you don't need to configure this again. SIL files allow to include additional configuration but SIB files don't.
