Celeste: "I'll have to talk about the Tools page with Artemis, AFAIK
neither of us think the contents are that disruptive, but there may be a
better way to organize them."
To clarify, I feel the Tools page needs improvement not just to its
organization but also to layout. On organization I don't have much to
add to what I've already said; Tools feels to me more like a
"Miscellaneous" dumping ground than a well-thought-out top-level
category.
Regarding layout, every function provided through the Tools page is
presented through popup dialogs. Dialogs are a nuisance when used
improperly, so while they can be used for wizards or for yes/no
ok/cancel type interactions without generating much user resistance, in
almost every other case UI elements should be embedded in panels or tab
pages. The information conveyed by some Tools dialogs ("View Devices
Info" for example) should be immediately viewable in Tools (or a sub-
tab) without the user having to click a button to produce it (and
wrestle with the resulting popup dialog). In the case of "View
Configuration Files" the popup dialog itself contains a tab book --
there's even less justification for not embedding that in the main page
IMO.
