I don't know where this notion come from, but I know how editing (normally) is done. User should see general info -- disks, partitions, and detailed info (about selected item from general pane) _at the same time_. Just in case -- why? Because is tiresome to do manual calculation on paper, writing general info manually on paper, and then seeing only one piece (info about one partition) doing partitioning. I, user, should be able to create new partition, seeing all created so far, and doing calculation "ok, swap is 200MB, home 20GB, now, let's add...". There should be no guessing, no memorizing, no writing anything down. It should be in front of user eyes. The partitioner for example from opensuse 10.3 provides that and it is very efficient. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In 10.3 it was like this disk 1 partition 1 p.2 p.3 disk 2 p.1 ... I click on any partition, edit, the dialog appears for editing the partition. I am not saying it should be done like this, but having such aim ("big picture" + edit) in mind. If you keep "edit" to the lowest level, you won't get big picture when you finally reach the level when editing is possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
