Hi again !
*Bernhard Ströbl* :
- wouldn't it be more intuitive to left click on an icon (which
would then open the layer settings with the appropriate section).
Right clicking in the way you describe could be implemented
additionally.
I think the left click on an icon could simply toggle the setting
on/off. Opening the layer settings could be the first item in the
context-menu + middle click + shift or control click, so it's easily
accessible.
But I agree the central place to define the settings should remain in
the layer properties dialog (even if I find we should emphasize the
distinction between data/layer a bit more in this dialog too).
- I would not put diagrams there as they are much more seldomly used
than labels. I think most common usage is the style but I cannot see
an icon for this in your mockup.
I thought the icons would be shown only if relevant. Of course it makes
no sense to display a "diagram" label for every layer, but it makes a
lot of sense to display it for the one or two layers that do display
diagrams. The user could delete those icons, which would simply disable
them, and to display them again, one would have to reenable the
corresponding feature from within the main layer properties dialog.
And it's true that symbology the could be displayed as an icon too.
Maybe one could have several symbologies on one layer, and clicking them
would simply activate one (and deactivate the others), since toggling
off a symbology doesn't make sense.
ok, makes sense to me but if different symbologies why not having
different labels or different diagrams. This would become too
complicated, I am afraid. One anything per layer is ok IMHO. If you need
several symbologies use several layers or rules.
One very powerful and intuitive feature would then be to be able to
move/copy those icons from one layer to another. A very convenient an
easy way to copy symbology/labelling style/snap settings etc. (I think I
read some discussions about implementing the ability to
copy/paste/import/export only parts of the layer's properties).
I like this idea!
Again, that's exactly how C4D works, and it's very pleasant to use. I'd
be happy to make some screencasts if you think it may make it more clear
how this works.
- The current behavior (opening settings by double clicking/context
menu on the layer name) should stay. I understand your proposal as
an additional way to get there.
Yes definitely.
Régis Haubourg :
I would add another visibility state for layers that are checked,
but are
not visible due to scale visualisation threshold.
True, that should be displayed in the legend too. It could be an icon
too (again, this would allow for easy and consistent copy/move/enable).
If the icons support different visual states.
Or better grey them out to be consistent with the rest (greyed out = not
visible) but keep their check state. Layers could even be greyed out
because they have no feature in the current map extent. So a grey layer
name would indicate that you cannot see this layer in the current map.
Possible reasons are:
1) layer is not set visible
2) scale thresholds are not matching current map scale
3) no features in current map extent
best regards
Bernhard
