--- Comment #28 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Paolo Benvenuto from comment #15) First of all - let me congratulate you for taking this on, doing the work and gradually polishing it into better form. Kudos! > I subdivided the changed properties by their tab because many properties > have cryptic words: for example, selecting a color in the area tab produces > the property "continous", which is impossible, without the organization by > tab, to understand what it refers to. Fair enough - as long as we don't overflow the dialog. > Let me try... The new attempt (attachment 205533) is better, but still has a few problems: * Some of the text seems overflow its own label area, so that we get ellipses. Example: "CTL Text: Noto Sans An..." * I see the same label twice: "CTL Text:" . * Instead of interleaving the properties of Western, CTL and Asian text, you should present all features of Western, then all of CTL, then all of Asian. That way, you would not need to write: "Asian foo: value", "Asian bar: value" but Just "Asian: foo: value bar: value". * Still _way_ to much vertical space between lines. * X'es still too small. * X'es must be much closer to the item they relate to than to the item next to it; right now there's a lot of space on each side. * In mahfiaz' original suggestion (attachment114176), X'es are raised and followed right after the property they relate to. I suggested you try that, and I still think it's a decent option. The small X'es which don't interrupt the flow of text too much are appealing. But - that is not the only approach, and if the approach is different then this recommendation is not valid; specifically, * With your current approach - a view mode vs an edit (or "delete properties" mode), there isn't as much of a motivation to maintain the flow of description text. In this case, it would be better to make the X's bigger, more prominent, and middle-aligned with properties. You have the alignment right, but they are much too small. Also, I would placing the X sing _right before_ rather than after the property which may be deleted > > * if possible, let change descriptions overflow to the next line rather > > than keeping them on the same line. > Explain better Suppose you have an item with a very long label, that starts near the end of the line. At the moment, you have to move it entirely to the next line, and waste a lot of the previous line. It would be nice, if it's possible, to start the label on the previous line and end it on the next. But... you know what? Never mind, that's probably too much trouble. Better to focus on reducing all of that space and packing things nice and tight. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
