<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Yeah, like the mockup. Perhaps add the orange buttons for new folder, properties, etc to the header of the projects panel. I think that would be better as it groups the controls with the things they affect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m not sure about the drop downs for links to resources. Maybe just lose resources. But the feedback form is useful, we do get comments submitted that way from time to time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I was thinking it makes sense to have similar things in proximity. Both the search and the sort are to do with the workspace items, it makes sense to me to put these controls together.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also this is a consistency thing: some tabs have titles, some don’t. Either let’s give them all titles, or let’s lose the big header on the tabs altogether maybe: if it’s not serving any purpose, why use the
space? Also with this, the headers create a division / barrier between the projects and the controls to edit / properties etc. Previously these controls were much more clearly associated with the list of projects in the workspace. Could we put those buttons
in the header perhaps? It does make sense that they are more closely associated with the project list, as the projects are the things they control.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">By default the project details tab, the central one, doesn’t look very nice as it’s very narrow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This is what we have now, which I like a lot: it’s clean / FWS etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
