2011-03-03 12:44 <cedk> what do you think about this new GUI design: http://tinypic.com/r/ekrtd1/7
2011-03-03 12:47 <bechamel> cedk: nice, what about putting the button bar above the model title (IE just under the tabs) ?
2011-03-03 12:48 <cedk> bechamel: I find it is more logical to have tab with title and title close to each others
2011-03-03 12:48 <cedk> bechamel: and buttons close to search buttons
2011-03-03 12:48 <cedk> bechamel: I tried but it looks a little strange
2011-03-03 12:50 <cedk> bechamel: SyntaxError: "except Exception as e"
2011-03-03 12:50 <cedk> bechamel: there is still some people that uses Python 2.5 :-)
2011-03-03 12:51 <bechamel> cedk: ?
2011-03-03 12:52 <cedk> bechamel: this syntax doesn't work on 2.(
2011-03-03 12:52 <cedk> bechamel: this syntax doesn't work on 2.5
2011-03-03 12:52 <cedk> bechamel: from http://www.b2ck.com/~bch/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/tryton_tdp/
2011-03-03 12:52 <cedk> bechamel: itertools.product is only 2.6
2011-03-03 12:55 <cedk> bechamel: AttributeError: 'property' object has no attribute 'setter'
2011-03-03 12:55 <cedk> bechamel: i will fix all those 2.5 issue and send you a patch
2011-03-03 12:55 <bechamel> cedk: ok
2011-03-03 12:59 <cedk> bechamel: I think default rec_name search should append %
2011-03-03 13:01 <bechamel> cedk: yes, I'm not sure which is better, what if I want an exact match ?
2011-03-03 13:01 <bechamel> cedk: it's easy for the user to add an extra %
2011-03-03 13:02 <cedk> bechamel: exact match with =...
2011-03-03 13:02 <cedk> bechamel: how can I make a = search instead of ilike?
2011-03-03 13:04 <bechamel> cedk: ok lets say default will append % at the end and =.. will be an exact mach (I will add it)
2011-03-03 13:05 <cedk> bechamel: yes and perhaps prepend %
2011-03-03 13:06 <bechamel> cedk: it will kill postgres perf, isn't it ?
2011-03-03 13:06 <cedk> bechamel: I think ilike operation should always at least one %
2011-03-03 13:06 <cedk> bechamel: perhaps for prepend
2011-03-03 13:07 <cedk> bechamel: but you should at least append % if there is no % in the string
2011-03-03 13:07 <cedk> ACTION bbl
2011-03-03 13:07 <bechamel> cedk: yes
2011-03-03 13:12 <yangoon> cedk: I am not really happy with http://tinypic.com/r/ekrtd1/7
2011-03-03 13:13 <yangoon> symbols are a subset of menu items, so belong rather to the menu
2011-03-03 13:14 <yangoon> additionaly you are losing the possibity of not-form-related buttons (you already removed the one for requests)
2011-03-03 13:17 <yangoon> if we could have 'sensitive' regions in the status bar to e.g. call form requests, I would be totally ok with this
2011-03-03 13:18 <yangoon> then I would favor also the display of attachment count in the status bar and I wouldn't need this tool bar at all...;)
2011-03-03 13:32 <cedk> yangoon: this toolbar is only relevant for the current tab
2011-03-03 13:32 <cedk> yangoon: by the way, I'm thinking about moving the form menu into somewhere in the tab
2011-03-03 13:32 <yangoon> cedk: yes that's the problem:if you want also a toolbar for not tab-related items, you have two toolbars
2011-03-03 13:33 <yangoon> that's what I mean with: you are losing the possibity of not-form-related buttons
2011-03-03 13:35 <cedk> yangoon: I don't want a toolbar for not tab-related items
2011-03-03 13:35 <cedk> yangoon: for the request, you can access it from the user menu entry
2011-03-03 13:36 <cedk> and by the way, request should be removed in favor of emails
2011-03-03 13:37 <yangoon> cedk: you can access all from the menu
2011-03-03 13:37 <yangoon> and whether request or email, problem is the same
2011-03-03 13:37 -!- Vladimirek(~vladimir@bband-dyn213.178-41-22.t-com.sk) has joined #tryton
2011-03-03 13:38 <cedk> yangoon: emails will not be managed by the client
2011-03-03 13:39 <yangoon> current toolbar offers two additional features over menu: optical display of waitng requests and more important: attachment count
2011-03-03 13:41 <yangoon> if we can move attachment count *and* fast accessibilty to the status bar, there would be no real need for a tollbar for keyboard driven workes
2011-03-03 13:41 <yangoon> workers
2011-03-03 13:42 <yangoon> for now I still need it to have information about attachments
2011-03-03 13:42 <cedk> yangoon: there is still attachment count
2011-03-03 13:43 <cedk> yangoon: waiting request are on the bottom
2011-03-03 13:46 -!- silverfox1971(~sysadmin0@office.delfi2000.ru) has left #tryton
2011-03-03 13:47 <udono> cedk: Are there other benefits beside GUI design to have a toolbar inside the tabs?
2011-03-03 13:48 <cedk> udono: for future, I think we will make tabs floatable
2011-03-03 13:48 <cedk> udono: so having a toolbar inside will make it easier
2011-03-03 13:56 <udono> cedk: does floatble mean drag 'n drop?
2011-03-03 13:56 <cedk> udono: yes
2011-03-03 13:58 <yangoon> cedk: for a floatable tab it would be indeed essential to have also the menu on the tab
2011-03-03 13:59 <yangoon> cedk: wouldn't it be better to postpone such changes until we have floatable tabs?
2011-03-03 13:59 <yangoon> for the moment I can only say that it is other behavior than most/all applications I know
2011-03-03 14:02 <udono> yangoon: the menu could stay in the application, as far as I understand.
2011-03-03 14:02 <yangoon> besides that: what happens if I focuse menu and then click New button? are those buttons really related to the tab?
2011-03-03 14:03 <cedk> the menu should stay on the primary window
2011-03-03 14:03 <yangoon> udono: does it make sense to have a solitaire tab without menu?
2011-03-03 14:03 <cedk> yangoon: buttons only apply to the current tab
2011-03-03 14:05 <udono> yangoon: I meant the opposite: Menu and tab container are the main application.
2011-03-03 14:09 -!- trifon(~trifon@79-100-34-98.btc-net.bg) has joined #tryton
2011-03-03 14:10 <udono> and with the design I am unsure, too. It seems unusual in a way.
2011-03-03 14:10 <cedk> yangoon: why postpone? It will change nothing
2011-03-03 14:10 <cedk> udono: for me, it is more clean than the current one
2011-03-03 14:11 <cedk> udono: you have buttons outside tab that work only inside tab
2011-03-03 14:15 <yangoon> cedk: floating tabs are the only argument for me to find it useful to change the current design in this respect
2011-03-03 14:16 <yangoon> since we don't have them the design change can very well be backponed for me
2011-03-03 14:17 <yangoon> and perhaps better to ask on tryton-dev, too, to have more opinions on this subject
2011-03-03 14:17 <udono> cedk: yes, but now we have buttons inside tabs on top (tool-bar) and below (actions/reports/wizards)...
2011-03-03 14:17 <cedk> yangoon: it goes with the DnD in Tree and the new menu design
2011-03-03 14:18 <cedk> udono: and?
2011-03-03 14:18 <cedk> udono: more logical
2011-03-03 14:18 <bechamel> cedk: are you thinkink about dropping "form" on the main menu ?
2011-03-03 14:19 <cedk> bechamel: yes
2011-03-03 14:19 <cedk> bechamel: working on it but did not yet find a good place
2011-03-03 14:19 <cedk> yangoon: discuss on ML will come when things will be clearly defined
2011-03-03 14:19 <bechamel> cedk: imo we should find a way to hide the less used/usefull buttons
2011-03-03 14:20 <bechamel> ACTION thinks to much buttons makes the user an confused boy
2011-03-03 14:20 <udono> cedk: ... for me it looks half-backed, sorry.
2011-03-03 14:20 <bechamel> s/an/a/
2011-03-03 14:21 <cedk> udono: don't understand
2011-03-03 14:22 <bechamel> cedk: half-backed means there still work to do
2011-03-03 14:22 <cedk> bechamel: udono: yes but what?
2011-03-03 14:25 <udono> cedk: I'm unsure and it is not easy, because I lack of a vision/conception of a perfect GUI.

2011-03-03 14:41 <cedk> udono: first there is no perfect GUI :-)

2011-03-03 15:29 <cedk> new version with Form menu in tab http://tinypic.com/r/ndtt2w/7
2011-03-03 15:31 <bechamel> cedk: does this menu appear when the last button of the button bar is clicked ?
2011-03-03 15:32 <cedk> bechamel: yes on the arrow
2011-03-03 15:33 <bechamel> cedk: maybe we should find a better icon
2011-03-03 15:33 <cedk> bechamel: there is no icon
2011-03-03 15:35 <bechamel> cedk: what about dropping some icon now (the corresponding actions are now availaible in the down arrow) ?
2011-03-03 15:36 <bechamel> like report, wizard, search
2011-03-03 15:36 <bechamel> I never click on them
2011-03-03 15:36 <cedk> bechamel: because you are an advanced user
2011-03-03 15:37 <cedk> bechamel: I never click on any of those buttons
2011-03-03 15:39 <bechamel> cedk: next step : drop main menu and replace it with a unique button in rigth of the tab-bar (ala chrome) :) !
2011-03-03 15:47 <cedk> bechamel: don't agree :-)
2011-03-03 15:48 <cedk> bechamel: this design makes client no more usable with keyboard only
2011-03-03 15:58 <bechamel> cedk: what if the button just hide/unhide the top menu :p
2011-03-03 16:04 <cedk> bechamel: it doesn't take very much space
