[dev] Dynamic view prefs removed?

[Michael J Rubinsky]

Why were the dynamic view prefs removed in develop?

A considerable amount of time was spent making those work - these  
prefs were added to allow using a single application in traditional  
mode, while still using dynamic mode for everything else that allows  
it. This was a requested feature from users that wished to continue  
using a traditional interface when it contained functionality that was  
unavailable on the dynamic version.

I know going forward we are aiming to only support a single desktop  
view, but until the traditional views are actually removed I think we  
should still support this feature.

This will also prevent us releasing an application with a new dynamic  
view until it is *fully* functional. As an example, Hermes has a  
work-in-progress dynamic view that is functional for 90% of the  
use-cases, but still lacks some functionality. It is far easier to  
deselect the option for using the dynamic view by default then it is  
to have to logout then login again under traditional to use those  
features, then log out and in again to continue using e.g., IMP's  
dynamic view.
