Some time ago, we decided to make several changes in the Partitioner UI. Check this section (or the full document if you are interested enough) for more details: https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/blob/master/doc/partitioner_ui.md#ag... We are currently working on adding a new menu bar, but we have two decisions to take. We would like to have some feedback from everyone in the YaST Team and also from SUSE UX experts, so I'm sending this to both Ken and the yast-devel list. For those that are not that familiar with the current UI of the Partitioner, I added some kind of appendix at the end of this mail to refresh minds. First question: what approach should we follow for the menu bar? After some discussions, we have three proposals. I created three branches in the yast-storage-ng repository so you can play with them. For the less technical users (downloading the repo and running the demo may not be trivial), I'm open to create videos or have a video-call to show them in action. Menu proposal 1 https://github.com/ancorgs/yast-storage-ng/blob/menu_minimal/README.md Menu proposal 2 https://github.com/ancorgs/yast-storage-ng/blob/menu_classic/README.md Menu proposal 3 https://github.com/ancorgs/yast-storage-ng/blob/menu_explicit/README.md We have to decide on the general approach, not on every detail. Some entries could be relocated or renamed afterwards. If we decide to take proposal 1, then we are done. No second question. If we take 2 or 3, which both include options that are "contextual" to the device currently selected, we have another thing to decide... Second question: what to do with the menu-buttons below the tables? (check the appendix below if you don't know what are we talking about) Option 1. Remove them as all the functionality is already in the menus. Option 2. Keep them as they are. Option 3. Use simple buttons with only a small set of actions. If we choose option 3. Selecting a disk would only show "Edit" and "View Partitions". But not the options to create/clone partition tables (the menu bar should be used for that). Selecting a partition would show "Edit" and "Delete", but not resizing or moving. And so on. What's your view on the topic? Cheers. And now, the appendix about the current UI, only in case you need it: We offer many actions per each device (editing, resizing, deleting, etc.). For that we have menu-buttons right below all the Partitioner tables (there are too many actions, they don't fit as regular buttons). Not all the actions make sense for all kind of devices (for example, you cannot delete a hard disk or format an LVM volume group). So every time a new device is selected in the table, those menu-buttons change to only offer the actions that make sense for that type of device. In the System table that contains all the devices, there are also additional buttons for general actions like "Rescan Devices" or "Configure". They have never belonged there. In the tables of a particular technology (like RAID or Volume Management) there are buttons to add new devices of the corresponding type. Cheers again. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Software Solutions -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
