The question is simple, should we really display the "Overview" tab by
default? During the planning, it seems to some of us that it is useless
most of the time. Taking a disk with three partitions as an example, we
think it could be more practical to directly land in the
"Partitions" tab.
IMHO, there are two things we can do to improve the UX here. One thing
is to remember the last selected tab (David is already working on it),
and the second thing is to propose the most suitable landing tab when
the user goes to a device for the first time.
For that second point I propose something like the following:
* For a disk without partition table --> "Overview" tab.
* For a disk with partition table -> "Partitions" tab.
* For a LVM Volume Group -> always "Logical Volumes" tab.
* For a MD RAID without partition table --> "Overview" tab.
* For a MD RAID with partition table -> "Partitions" tab.
- YaST Disk starts at "Available storage on *" and I never found it any
useful as it contains everything mixed together
Though this was not the original question, this is the one point I would
fully agree to.
I don't care much either way whether or not 'Overview' is per default
selected.
But rather, I believe a point could be made that the storage UI in general
deserves some re-thinking.
The basic concept had been made when the new storage code started and was
still quite limited. Meanwhile a lot of functionality has been added and
the
UI feels, let's say, 'untidy'.
You usually get things done but I more or less just 'click around' until I
find the spot where I can do my changes.
And, to get back to the topic: the 'Overview' tab is sticking out
beacuse it
is visually different from (ok, nearly) all other views that show some kind
of table. It just feels wrong when you see it.
So, please no one-shot fix just because someone screemed.
Well, I agree we need to re-think the UI of the Expert Partitioner, but
I guess that would be an Epic for SLE-16. Meanwhile, we can do small
improvements at the same time we start supporting new features for SLE-15.
