Bug#327188: #327188: gtk-gnutella: Bitzi Metadata menu item has no (visible) effect
As long as you agree there's currently a usability problem when the Metadata column is hidden, I'm happy :-). I'm not married to the popup solution in any way. Cheers //Johan -Original Message- From: Christian Biere [EMAIL PROTECTED] Johan Walles wrote: usability problem if you have the Metadata column hidden. How about popping up a warning if somebody does Bitzi with the Metadata column hidden? IMNSHO, pop-ups if at all should only be used as a last resort. They are very annoying, mess with the focus and the wait-for-user-input scheme is rather ugly for this kind of application. The solution is much simpler. If the metadata column is invisible it'll be added (and resized to some minimum width). However, I'm not happy with the current way this data is shown because it's far too much (some data is actually suppressed) to fit into a column. A dialog or whatever would probably be nicer. It should be available from all panes anyway. -- Mailblocks - A Better Way to Do Email http://about.mailblocks.com/info -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The version in current CVS does now ensure that the metadata column is visible and has a minimum size. Thus, it will be fixed in the next release (0.95.5 or 0.96). -- Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In my case, the Metadata column wasn't visible. When I added that column, the Bitzi Metadata menu option works as you describe. So while the Bitzi menu item actually does seem to work, there is a usability problem if you have the Metadata column hidden. How about popping up a warning if somebody does Bitzi with the Metadata column hidden? Regards //Johan -Original Message- From: Christian Biere [EMAIL PROTECTED] there's no such bug. The progress and the result is shown in the Metadata column. -- Mailblocks - A Better Way to Do Email http://about.mailblocks.com/info -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

However, I'm not happy with the current way this data is shown because it's far too much (some data is actually suppressed) to fit into a column. A dialog or whatever would probably be nicer. It should be available from all panes anyway. Or perhaps some icons? A lot of the data could be reduced to a simple red/amber/green icon with the metadata extra's like media details reserved for the floating dialog box. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Give me a Plumber's friend the size of the Pittsburgh dome, and a place to stand, and I will drain the world. t -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
