Comments below (on things design-related).
============================
**I find "View" as the default text for the different views a little
unclear until I click on it. We shied away from just having the three icons in
a row? (each with a tooltips, say?)**
We had (still have) a lot of problem with horizontal real estate in that
header. I believe Robert is planning to move the search box down to right next
to the bulk selector, which might give us the room we'd need for that. But,
frankly, bringing the "Include Docs" check box out of the Query Options panel
might be a better use of that space.
**maybe a pale grey line to the right of View, just to make it like the
other header btns?**
I agree. Left justification helps, but we should give View the same
button-ish treatment.
**might be nice to change up the icon in the header based on the selected
View rather than just having the eye icon all the time.**
I agree. Good call, Ben. If there is a default docs display, then that
means doing away with the eye icon.
**the clickable link locations to take you to the full page doc editor
differ depending on whether you're on the all docs or a View. All docs has _id
in the first column; Views have the last. Any chance that could be consistent?
I'd favour the first column.**
I'm not sure I understand the question. I believe that we are having all
table values be clickable. When ID isn't displayed, we still need a way to
evoke the editor. Docs (collapsed or uncollapsed) always have doc ID at the
top, and that ID is clickable.
**the greys are a little weak for the bulk selector, in context of Fauxton.
Maybe they should be a hair darker?**
I agree. Or if we can dial up the weight of the lines.
**the down arrow on the bulk selector widget should show a cursor:pointer
to indicate clickable. The clickable area should be the full square behind it,
too.**
I agree.
I think we need to also obviate the bulk selector behavior (select all docs
in the database vs. select all docs on the page). Feedback showing the number
of docs currently selected would help, if it'd be possible to provide this
information on the same line as the bulk selector.
