Hi Sylvain-
My 2p ... I like all of these ideas, been thinking the same myself, with
one exception.
I like the green "+" button as it gives an alternative way to add
something. But could be talked out of it if others think it's too
confusing having these multiple ways.
The rest of it, tidying up the palette schizophrenia, bring it on ASAP!
Maybe it makes sense to evaluate the green + once we have those working?
Best

Hi Sylvain, and thanks for the proposal!
The Apache ML don't like images embedded inside emails and strip them out.
Could you instead make them available somewhere, and post the links to
them?
Thanks.
Best.

Hello everyone,
Currently we have a problem with palette. It can be shown on both left
and
right panel at the same time. It does the same thing but with slight
differences :
[image: image.png]
-
Left palette open a popup before adding to the blueprint. Right
palette does not
[image: image.png]
-
A toolbar is shown on the right, but always with one element. If you
close this element the whole panel is empty and useless.

-
If you select one entity and click on the plus button of another, the
palettes add to different entities
-
When we compose a blueprint, we always have both panels open. On small
screens there’s not much place left to see the graph.
To improve this we could do something like this :
-
Put everything that add things in the left panel, and keep the
configuration in the right panel
-
Add a toolbar to the right panel, such as the left panel. The tabs
would be the different spec editor sections : configuration,
policies, …
-
Add a close button to the right panel, to be coherent with the left
panel. Combined with the previous point, it allow to keep opened or
closed
the right panel

-
If no entity is selected, remove the right toolbar. It appears again
when we select an entity.

-
Delete the green plus button, it’s no more needing and create
confusion for users.

-
Everything else work like before, including drag & drop
With the points before, we could remove the add buttons of the different
sections of the spec editor. If you prefer to keep the buttons, we could
also make them just open and highlight sections on the left panel.

Best regards,
Sylvain
