I'm also encountering "Unable to Browse Registry. User is not autherized
or the connection with backend registry has been lost" frustratingly
often.

- Have others encountered this issue?  Maybe something to do with the
Amazon deployment?
- When this error occurs, it takes me back to the registry root and the
back button doesn't seem to work.  Meaning a long process to get back to
where I was in the tree.  Could we instead try to connect the backend
again without losing the context?
- How about spelling "authorized" correctly?

Nother possible improvement:

When editing the value of a property, but after the login has expired, the
property value is not updated - yet no warning is surfaced as to why.

It also is quite annoying that when the login expires, I must not only log
in, but navigate back to where I came from.  A bounceback would be very
nice in this case - so it takes me to the login just long enough to
represent my credentials, and then returns me directly back into my
workflow.

More usability comments:

When adding a new collection, a pop up announces "successfully added new
collection."  Shortly thereafter, the collection appears in the main
Entries pane, but the popup must be dismissed before accessing it.  Two
ways this could be improved:
- Lose the popup, use some non-modal indicator that the registry is
working to add the new collection.
- If this isn't possible, add another button to the popup to "open" the
new collection's page directly (95% of users will probably do this next.)
This would replace two clicks - to close the popup and then to open the
collection.  It would also mask a bit the fact that the popup has no real
utility to the user.

I don't really like the unfortunate combination of inline creation (Add
Resource opens up a new subpane) and completing a task (a popup).  The
former indicates the interaction will be non-modal, but then the popup
wrecks that expectation.

In reality these are comments to registry, and I am forwarding this
mail to carbon dev for our registry team to answer.

I tried to browse as admin, but not see any tags. Will check with
registry guys about this.

For registry team:

Following are  comments from Jonathan on doc repo, but reality they
are comments about registry. Could you guys comment?

Few fit-n-finish items as I come across them:

-          Dependency tree browser:

o   Always opens at the root - wouldn't it often be better to have it
open to the current location?

o   Selecting a dependent resource fills in the url, user must still
click OK.  Then he must click Add in the main window.  Why are two
confirmations necessary?  Either one should suffice.

-          Dependency tree viewer:

o   Paths are shortened to illegibility, despite the fact that they
only take up half the line.  If shortening must occur, do it in the
middle of the path so the final path segment is visible.

o   Not sure how this is representing transitive dependencies.
A->B->C shows as flat items instead of a hierarchy?

-          How to delete a tag?

-          If a resource has tags, comments, properties, dependencies
- can we expand those panels by default?  Instead of the user
searching through all of them to see what's defined on the resource?

-          It bugs me to rename files when uploading - I can see
removing #, but parens?  Why is this restriction necessary?
