Dear Nathan,
the idea to rethink the Ui design is good. I like the idea of having the
query stuff on top. I think the "query" button (either labelled or with
a symbol) should persist because many users work with the mouse. For
them it is more convenient to choose the field in the comboBox and then
simply click the button than to switch back from the mouse to the keyboard.
regards
Bernhard

Hi all,
Today I was looking at some different ways to redesign and optimize the
attribute table UI and have come up with a design that I think works well
but would like to get some feedback first.
I have made two screenshots, showing the old and new dialog at the same
size and using the same Qt theme.
Just a plain comparison screenshot :

The main things are:
1. Make the min row height to 16. This removes the empty space below
the text in the current UI and allows more rows to be shown with less
wasted space.
2. Reduce some of the margins around the controls.
3. Move the search stuff to the top in order to give search text more
space and group the items better. All search options at the top.
4. Replace Advanced search button with a hyperlink style button. This
is less distracting from a UI point of view IMO.
5. Remove Search button as Enter on the keyboard does the same thing. Is
a button really needed?
6. Split buttons at bottom into two groups. Actions for current
selection and stuff that only works in edit mode e.g. adding new column.
Over all you can show about 4 more rows depending on the theme. Having
the search at the top for me feels better as it is less cramped then where
it is now and makes more sense to click Show Selected Only and seeing the
results below.
Anyone have any thoughts about the design?
