split IFC preferences to 2 tabs

I tested how I can work with FC on a 13'' laptop and noted that the preferences are too large.

There are 3 oversized preferences dialogs (2 are from TechDraw, which I will split) and the IFC settings:

Is it therefore OK to split this dialog into 2 tabs, one named "IFC Import" for the general and import settings, one named "IFC Export" for the export settings?

I am not against it. However, can you check if it's possible to have the two sections in the same page, each section in its own collapsible widget?

I think there are Qt widgets that serve as containers, and that you can collapse and expand as needed. I just think that would be neater, in order to have exactly one page for each file type.

Good idea. I will have a look. If anybody has an idea what widget, please tell me.

Maybe a QToolBox or a QTabWidget

I have no problem splitting it in two... That's what we always do in FreeCAD when a page become too big

Fine, so I will do this around Easter when I will hopefully some time.
