Hi Sven,
What I am missing in the UI is some indication of the path that leads to the current selected file. Right now, I am wondering where exactly I am, I feel a bit lost (this is of course from the technical standpoint of a path in a tree). This could be done with a popup, a trail, a pop-over.
I've added this couple of days ago (as I was missing this too), I just forgot to push the update to github (one downside compared to smalltalkhub :)).
The only problem is that the image directory name is usually really long (the longest I have is 110 characters as it includes the build's name), so it doesn't exactly fit in. There is some shortening happening based on the window's width but it's not perfect.
I had another look. Yes, this is cool.
If you truncate, you could put the full, non truncated path in a pop over, that would be a cheap way to solve that problem, no ? In any case, in my testing there was enough space.
If Spec supports it, then it should be easy.
Maybe also add a trailing / to indicate that it represents the directory and not the selection ?
Originally I wanted to make it bold, but again, Spec doesn't support Text properly; trailing slash might be a compromise for now
Also when I tested it, using
FDOpenFileDialog new openModal.
the path is initially blank, it only fills when I start clicking.
That's a bug, I'll fix that.
BTW, could it be that FDMorphicUIManager becomes default automatically ?
That seems quite aggressive, I don't feel it's stable enough⦠I could add something like #load, and #loadDefault to the load script⦠but then you might as well execute the beDefault. I'm not sure yet.
And related to github filetree, what is the proper way to get a new version once you loaded the code ?
I don't know, but it should be the same as with any other (e.g. smalltalkhub) project, since it's both monticello, no? I've never done this, so I don't know. (Usually when I am updating I look at the individual commits because I want to know what has changed.) Peter
