Hi folks!

New UI looks great - some issues so far:

* The fact that you click on the slash in the upper left corner to get to the root directory is very confusing - and I don't like the fact that we end up with a weird looking path because the spacing around the first slash is different than subsequent ones. Can we make it so you get to the root by clicking the folder icon instead? Then we can make the paths look even also.

* It's unclear what the two rows of rating stars do at first glance. I gather one is for actually rating the resource (and keeping track of your rating), and the other is to display the average rating. I think it would be clearer if we had a label "Average rating:" and one set of stars on the left, then "My rating:" and another set of stars on the right (under "By"). That would also reduce the vertical space.

* The "Information" pane is just too big at first glance, especially when you first start with an empty registry pointing to root. IMHO it should start out collapsed. Also you should be able to click "expand to view details" (or maybe anywhere in the collapsed pane) to expand it. Also, the info pane should remember if it's collapsed or expanded between resources, if possible.

* It's unclear when you've been signed out due to inactivity. Please add an alert for this - otherwise it's very confusing when buttons disappear.

* I don't like the placement of the add resource / add directory buttons. I think they should be more prominent, maybe just to the right of the current resource path up at the top?

* At present it looks like you can tag anonymously. I think we should remove that and only allow tags from signed-in users.

Thanks,
--Glen
