Hi John,<br>
<br>
The full looks OK to me. And in my opinion, people are getting used
very quickly on those icons and couldn't believe they ever could
work without them.<br>
Even changing/editing by clicking the icon would be clear I think.<br>
<br>
In this case, if the names are long, you get a horizontal scroll
bar, so that would be ok too.<br>
<br>
I'll ask some users.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi John
Looks good and I can see it would be useful for existing users with a number of projects etc but as you say could quickly become cluttered and I think possibly confusing for new users in particular.
I wondered about a checkbox/toggle which is off and not showing the icons by default? (see attached)
Then I wondered if instead of Show properties that should say Check properties or Quick properties.
Then I wondered if the icons would be shortcuts to that section of the properties panel e.g. a bit like Moodle edit icons
I wondered if it could be a possible problem where long project names are used or different languages like Tom's recent margin resize for Dutch
Then I wondered how Julian is likely to respond and whether this is this getting a bit removed from the FWS principal ;-)

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Possible icons in Workspace
Hi all,
So from my conversation with Pat, I have taken a look at the feasibility of adding icons to Workspace to show-at-a-glance certain statuses:
Private/Public
Flash vs Javascript
RSS syndicated
Shared with a collaborator
(there may be others we can do that i'm not aware of)
I have rewritten the SQL query for Workspace to gather the required data and implemented the icons but as you can imagine Workspace soon gets cluttered (see image XOT_Icons_All). I have also been playing with the idea of only showing the images for the row that is selected (XOT_Icons_Selected) - but then I know you can select more than 1 row so not sure how to handle that...
What do you think? I'm looking for ideas...
