Jay or Ray,
Could one of you send out the mockups? Hopefully, they don’t get bounced by the mail server because of size restrictions.
Taylor
Ray,
Let's get this discussion out on the dev list.
On points...
1.) I really like the info pops and I hope you put them everywhere.
4.) Yeah, take a look at it and let me know. We can also ask Jordan about it if we need to. His primary reasoning for using our data structures is that they have built in notifications and dedicated widgets. One possible alternative or compromise is to use one of our MasterDetailsComponents instead of a TableComponent and then to use a MasterDetailsSectionPart instead of a Table. But take a look at the code and let me know what you are thinking, then I will dig in some more.
5.) I see what you are saying. Hari has definitely already done this in his branch and can probably share it with you. As for stock views, I'm actually pro stock views. What I don't want is a million custom views. If we can ship something off to Properties or Tabbed Properties, Console, etc., then we should. One of the primary design goals of ICE is promote a common look a feel, which means that we need to avoid proliferation of views.
7.) Plots go in their own editor. The most I am willing to compromise on this is if a tool bar or something overlays via a pop up or can be minimized. The issue here is that scientific visualizations are feature rich and users want all the real estate possible. This is why we hide the close button until mouse over and put the controls in right clicks. We have tried designs like what you suggest in the past and *no one* wanted it. We even had people throw up their hands and say they wouldn't use it until we put the visualizations in their own editor. We don't have enough users that we can say "Sorry you don't like it," so for now they go in their own editor.
Jay
