[Xerte-dev] Re: Possible icons in Workspace

[Smith, John]

I was thinking of toggle buttons and of Ron's question about really long LO names and thought of having the selected LO expand to 2 rows and having the icons underneath and toggleable...

It almost makes the initial driver pointless though since you need to select each LO to see the icons... perhaps a tick box or a show button that toggles or shows icons that then fade out again...

The moodle off grey icons might make sense as they'll blend better with any theme?

I think the icons make sense, but should they be toggle buttons?

I could see a case that the interface could be tweaked a little - the properties panel isn't really properties anymore (it's more properties and do lots of important stuff).

2.2 makes sense, but I think the icons make the interface easier to use - would they confuse a new user - probably, but they might also demonstrate some of the features the system has which people have missed (or is that atypical techie talk)

As well as 'is shared, be good to see 'is a share' (i.e. I'm sharing someone else's project).

Can we leave this until 2.2?

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...
