[Bug 603182] New: YaST2 printer: Change method of selection for individual options in "all options for current driver" window
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603182 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603182#c0 Summary: YaST2 printer: Change method of selection for individual options in "all options for current driver" window Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: badshah400@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=359920) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=359920) All options window showing the currently selected option for Duplex printing User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100417 SUSE/3.6.4-1.1 Firefox/3.6.4 The present implementation of the individual options in the window that shows up when one clicks on "All options for current driver" is non-intuitive and difficult to understand. It uses an expander box for a selected option that shows "Currently selected" upon expanding. It would be better to replace this by a check-box like implementation that makes it easier to understand for a user as to what current option is selected etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This will not happen for openSUSE 11.3. Probably it cannot be changed at all, in particular it cannot be changed to whatever separated boxes like check-boxes or combo-boxes, see "Squashed Content" at http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Printer_Enhancement where the issue is described for this particular dialog: ------------------------------------------------------------- http://en.opensuse.org/File:Printer_jsmeix_driver_options_squashed_combo_box... .. See how "nicely" the combo boxes get squashed if driver options are implemented with combo boxes. Therefore the driver options must be implemented with a widget which supports scroll bars. I think combo boxes are the native way to set the driver options but I cannot use them. ------------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Currentyl I use a so called "Tree" widget for the driver options. You do not ask to replace the whole "Tree" widget but you ask only to show the currently selected option value in a different way in the "Tree" widget, i.e. instead of - Option1 + Option2 - Option2Value1 + Option2Value2 - currently selected - Option2Value3 - Option3 something like - Option1 + Option2 - Option2Value1 * Option2Value2 - Option2Value3 - Option3 where in this example '*' denotes the currently selected value. Is this what you actually ask for? If this is what you actually ask for, I will think about how to implement it for the openSUSE version after 11.3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Therefore I cannot use only a special graphical sign to denote the currently selected value. I must use some text to denote the currently selected value. Therefore in the future it might look like - Option1 + Option2 - Option2Value1 - Option2Value2 (current setting) - Option2Value3 - Option3 or - Option1 + Option2 - Option2Value1 * Option2Value2 (current setting) - Option2Value3 - Option3 i.e. some additional text is required. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Perhaps I misunderstood you?
Currentyl I use a so called "Tree" widget for the driver options. You do not ask to replace the whole "Tree" widget but you ask only to show the currently selected option value in a different way in the "Tree" widget, i.e. instead of
- Option1 + Option2 - Option2Value1 + Option2Value2 - currently selected - Option2Value3 - Option3
something like
- Option1 + Option2 - Option2Value1 * Option2Value2 - Option2Value3 - Option3
where in this example '*' denotes the currently selected value.
Is this what you actually ask for?
Yes, now that is exactly what I meant.
If this is what you actually ask for, I will think about how to implement it for the openSUSE version after 11.3.
OK, might have been good to have it with 11.3 too but my mistake in reporting so late. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My previous attempt was to get somehow a graphical sign to mark the currently selected value and therefore I made the currently selected value as a sub-tree so that I got at least the "Tree" widget's graphical sign for a sub-tree (something like a '+' or something like a '>' depending on the GUI: Qt versus Gtk). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
