Ok,
reviewing assuming target to 2.10.
I'm still wondering if we really want to have this as core, since unlike a
REST API will literally be
"in users face", but I guess it's nice not to have to SFTP into a remote
server to change files
(even when the data dir storage is indeed made of files).
At the same time, it means that the GUI needs to work fine with the file
system... like, what if
there is a very large number of files (styles, layers, whatever), is the UI
going to scale up enough
to handle them, or may it lock up?
Even if it's painful, there are deploys with thousands of layers around,
and if one needs to modify
say a FTL template, there is an actual need to scan in the workspaces
directory to place it in the
right spot, e.g. next to the target layer (oh fun, and if it's JDBCConfig,
you have to create by hand
all the intermediate folders that would be missing because those config
objects are in the jdbconfig?)
Looking at the upload dialog, if one can select the target in the tree and
then have that
bit pre-populated in the upload GUI, is there actually a need to allow
choosing on yet another browser
a different location? Just exit the dialog and choose a different target
instead?
Which is btw what you are doing in the rename/move case no?
Merging toghether rename and move seems a lot like a unix approach, but I
guess the common user
would be more comfortable having two simpler dialogs "rename" and "move"
instead, where
rename just has the new name, and move just the target location, instead of
both. Not a strong
opinion on this one, but I'm figuring the classic windows user be a bit
confused by it.
Same goes for copy.... trying to imagine what one might want to copy...
maybe ftl templates?
Those are normally not renamed, but... they are normally transferred in
triplets.
Have you considered a clipboard like approach instead, accumulate more than
one file in it,
and the allow pasting/moving to a target location? Not sure how much harder
it would be,
just wondering, it would make some interaction more natural (like trying to
copy/move FTL files
around).
Ok, I guess that's enough feedback for one go :-)
Cheers
Andrea
