DaltonST,
Again, we have a different strokes for different strokes situation. I personally would be reluctant, VERY reluctant to give over even the 'tiny amount of space.' to the tear-off menu because I honestly JUST discovered a use for ONE of the menu items. And as much time and effort as you put into Job Spy, it still is largely built around functions I don't personally make use of. And doubt that I will.
Plus, it takes away from Library Splitter that multiple actions have to take place away from the addin before it is useful. It's ALWAYS easy in a already existing way for books to be selected and then moved ... relatively speaking. What Splitter is, is a tool to make large-scale flags for multiple destinations and then execute copies or moves. At least, that's what I understand it's purpose is.
Keeping the process within the non-modal addin, rather remembering to copy to the clipboard, select the cell, traverse either a torn-off menu or through three levels of a button's right-click, THEN repeat, until ready to run Splitter, seems awkward from MY perspective, even if I understand how you can have a completely different perspective. And that's where the you, as the designer, have to decide on ease of use for yourself or for your using public. And AGAIN, I admit, your way MAY, indeed, be the easiest for OTHER members of the public, too.
I suggest something like THIS in your non-modal box, would be more self-contained and logical in attachments below.
Respectfully, GM
