Some thoughts: * what about adding ultra compact list view for objects(not actions) like list view in Library[1] the purpose is, if user has lots of objects it could be useful idea to show as much as possible objects on one screen * having several column/grid layouts for example its very useful for books to have columns for author, genre, date; so, user can see the whole valuable info at once and sort objects by these columns; and so separate layouts for video audio etc. files * additional types of filters for example Library has[2] several types to filter objects * user tags * object traits(additional columns from previous section) like author, genre, date for books * activity creators(grouping by activity_id field) * types of objects(like top section in filter palette)[3] * filter by participants * filter by sources(if we are in shared mode) I'm not sure that all of these modes are useful, but something could be(or another types) * several levels of chosen filters dunno about others but for me its very useful (see bottom panel on [4]) for example I can filter all text/plane files and separate from them only objects that were made by Terminal activity [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:-3.png [2] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:-1.png [3] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Design_Team/Proposals/Journal#.232 [4] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:-4.png -- Aleksey _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
