             Bug #: 5581
           Summary: Make UI improvements to Components Download
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Kepler
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: interface
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

When you download a kar from a remote repository via kepler, you typically:
*Click Sources and configure Preferences->Components to check-mark a
remoteRepository
* Search Components for your term (As the very slow search occurs (bug#5276),
the entire Kepler UI locks up and no busy cursor is shown)
* Right-click on a result kar, and select Download.
* Click cancel to clear the search results

The kar is placed in your MyWorkflows dir, but if this is the first kar put
there, MyWorkflows does not show up in the Components tree until you take some
other action that 'rebuilds' the tree, e.g. clicking the Build button beneath
Sources->Components, or sav

To fix this bug:
* During Components search, only lock the Components panel, and show a busy
cursor.
* Display the MyWorkflows dir after a first KAR is downloaded into it.

In the same ballpark is bug#4953. Also, strangely if you go through the
scenario above, and subsequently save a new workflow into MyWorkflows,
MyWorkflows continues to not show up, even though if you just start kepler
fresh, don't do a remote search, and save a first workflow into MyWorkflows it
will.
