Hello, I was asking myself why the options Sync View, Sync Selection, Sync Placement, etc... are placed inside view toolbar. Wondering if it's or not more convenient to have them in the tree view panel...

The reason is because when put in the toolbar, those options become accessible with keyboard shortcut. If the user just occasionally change the options, then it probably won't make much difference whether they find the action in treeview context menu or toolbar. But if they do, using keyboard shortcut is much faster.
