[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Journal Details view - Re: Sugar 0.100 status report - April 2
Some UI feedback for the recently added comment box: 2013/4/2 Daniel Narvaez dwnarv...@gmail.com: 5. Walter Bender landed several patches to add a comment box to journal entries. It will be populated both by the Portfolio activity and by the web services integration which is being worked on. The obligatory screenshot http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/4/4a/FB-comments.png Great! I think it is better to have the header of the box like the others, as a label outside the box, followed by a colon. On the same page, why not change the tags text box to a one line entry? That will favour vertical space for the comments. The thing to consider is backwards compatibility... can we convert newlines to whitespaces in that case? -- .. manuq .. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

That will favour vertical space for the comments. Also worth considering auto folding of empty fields (perhaps down to '(+) add Description/Tags/Comment' one liners for each empty field type?). FWIW: One of the GSOC projects listed [1] already proposes removing the Details view screen and integrating its content, inline, with the Journal so that it keeps context (+1 from me!).

Thanks for your feedback. Yes I also like very much the idea of a Journal with the face look of the Unified Journal View proposal, with the preview and details arranged in the scroll view. We'll have the opportunity to do that in html5, not for this cycle, I think. In case it gets selected for GSOC, I would urge the usage of html5 (as a new Journal activity) instead of hacking the current Journal.
