Hi Belen, I have read your excellent document, and had a few questions. I guess that I am trying to reverse engineer the design from the pages, and the pages to not directly describe that design.
1) I am trying to understand "editable" versus "non-editable" layers. What is a "preconfigured layer source"? Is this one that is part of the YP distribution, where everything else is an "imported layer", and thus is editable? 1. Not editable: the detail pages for layers from preconfigured layer sources (e.g. OpenEmbedded layer source) 2. Editable: the detail pages for imported layers, where the information in the "Layer details" tab and in the "About" section can be edited by Toaster users. In part my question is about commercial layers, if they could be identified through some mechanism as "preconfigured"? 2) What is the life cycle of the edited data of a layer (page 11)? Does it only live in a local clone of the layer? If another project uses the same layer, would that edited data be shared or would it have to entered again? Or is the information pushed up to the imported layer source? 3) I guess I am in general curious why Toaster is in the business of creating meta-data for layers? Does this reflect the general state of layers that we expect to import, that they are incomplete? Or are we working towards a layer management and/or creation tool? 4) You have a button titled "Delete the meta-imported layer from your project". I am wondering if "Remove..." is a better phrasing since (a) it matches with "Add...", and (b) the word "delete" sounds like something is being erased from the disk instead of just being taken out of the project's layer list. Unless there was an actual copy happening during the "Add..." action? I understand that the remote build will dynamically clone any included layers, but those are transient anyway right? Or do the error messages on page 7 imply an actual clone action? 5) I am still trying to understand the layer "Just import for the moment" option. What happens when you click the "Just import for the moment" button, you are taken to the layer details page (with a notification at the top telling you that you have successfully imported the layer), and you do _not_ use the "add it to your project" link? Does the layer then disappear when you leave this page? - David > -----Original Message----- > From: Barros Pena, Belen [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2014 8:24 AM > To: [email protected] > Cc: DAMIAN, ALEXANDRU; Reyna, David; Wymore, Farrell > Subject: Design - layer details page > > Finally managed to finish this piece.
