Hi Alessandro First of all, thank you so much for this work, it looks really great already!
Here a few comments / ideas after a few quick tests, I let you filter which ones could actually be part of this phase and which ones should be left out for a future phase 2 - "Raster" is not consistent: it is confusing that the file selector opens directly. The behavior should mimick the "vector" (open the file selector only when the user clicks on "browse") - The "DB2" logo should be cleaned (at least add transparency) - When I click on "Browse", the file selector window opens behind the Data Source Manager - I would change the order of the providers: move the "Delimited text" just below raster (so that we have all file-based providers together). And maybe separate (visually) the providers in sections: "Files", "Databases", "Web services", "Virtual" (or something like this). Also,"ArcGIS Feature Server" should probably be just after "ArcGIS Map Server" - It would be super useful to be able to display a basemap (OSM, Google, etc) directly from the Data Source Manager, without having to configure "XYZ Tiles" in the browser.Would it be possible in this phase to add 1 entry in the Data source manager "Webmaps" where the user could simply pick in a drop-down one of the most common webmaps (and could add additional XYZ tiles)? This would be a golden feature for non-power users. Thanks again, I will try to test it a bit deeper in the coming days Cheers Stéphane Le lundi 5 juin 2017, Alessandro Pasotti <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hi Stéphane, > > Thanks for testing the new dialog! > > I think that if you find a bug (a crash or something that doesn't work as > expected) you should open an issue on the hub and assign it to me. > > For general feed-back or change proposal for the UI/UX you can either use > this thread or make a PR with the proposed changes and discuss them in the > the PR. > > Cheers > > > On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 8:14 PM, Stéphane Henriod <[email protected] > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');>> wrote: > >> Hi Alessandro >> >> I just downloaded the latest nightly build and will make some tests in >> the coming days.
