Title: Re: More si_monitortk ideas

Hi Andrea:

 

You can ignore my previous patch, I have checked in a proper patch into trunk which is working fine for me now - hopefully it doesn't break for you on SuSE.

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

Hi Andrea:

 

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but after applying the attached patch, it works for me.  Can you test to see if it works for you on SuSE too?

 

The progress bar is a one stream though, it is not segmented into separate blocks like your screenshot (not that it's a huge deal...)

 

BTW, I think the GUI is definitely looking a bit too busy, with so much information now, perhaps we need to sit down and re-arrange/re-organize some of the fields.

 

Thanks,

 

Bernard

ouch! attached the progress bar demo that is included in my perl-Tk package.

I think that in this way the interface could be less usable... I've not
the immediate view about the status of the clients (which IMHO is the
more important information)... a better solution could be to put an
option to check/uncheck the fields the user want to see; in this way I
could choose to see a lot of info (loosing the immediate view of the
status) or see only few info... what do you think?
