Sorry, I am quite late with this, but I would like to share my insight about this topic. I have put some words down here [1] as a comment in the gist. What do you think about it? Anyway, after talking with Ancor, the most efficient way to go is to release current version in TW and then open the topic in a more generic mailing list. See you, Iván [1] https://gist.github.com/ancorgs/25eb67a90b666ec2211ca34034df8771#gistcomment... On 9/21/18 12:34 PM, Ancor Gonzalez Sosa wrote:

napsáno: For example, the following wording may be less disruptive (since it use "Edit" in a more familiar way) and more clear. The list of (menu)-buttons is exactly the same than in the gist with the same order and the same meaning, just with the following labels.
When a Hard Disk is selected: =============================
Modify (menu-button) -> Edit Hard Disk -> Create New Partition Table
Partitions (menu-button) -> Edit Partitions -> Add Partition -> Delete Partitions -> Clone Partitions to Another Device
When a RAID is selected: ========================
Modify (menu-button) -> Edit RAID -> Change Used Devices -> Create New Partition Table
Partitions (menu-button with same options than above)
Delete RAID
When a Partition is selected: =============================
Modify (menu-button) -> Edit Partition -> Resize Partition -> Move Partition
Delete Partition
So here is the link: https://gist.github.com/ancorgs/5e5fd016eb7db7413a1972d52f9ae913
Please provide (at least) feedback or (desirably) alternatives. During next sprint (starting next Monday) we will start implementing the most promising idea (whatever it is) to see how people reacts to it.
Cheers.
Hi, I check gist and I quite like that dynamic behavior which changes with selection. Gouping by meaning is fine for me. I do not like so much that two levels of button. It looks visually disturbing to me.Can you also try to attach at least one qt screenshot so we have some idea how it will look there?
Your wish is my command. ;-)
Find here an updated version of the proposal, with the new wording, with Qt screenshots (in addition to the ncurses ones) and reflecting the possibility of adding the actions buttons to the so-called System Page that summarizes all the devices in one table.

If no better idea pops-up, I would like to start implementing that idea next week. So please provide feedback!
BTW when we modify it, I think we can add those dynamic buttons also to "System View" where you should quickly partition whole setup on small system ( single or two disks ). And there makes sense for me that "Add..." which allows to add raid/lvm/bcache whatever top level can be added.
BTW2 for me table looks quite compressed and I do not see partition label which can be very useful for scenarious where is multiple disk with more partitions. What about changing That Size collumn to not have everywhere that ".00" and show "790 GiB" instead of "0.79 TiB" so it will be more consistent with rest of table ?
Maybe we could do it as part of the PBI to change the buttons, as a bonus.
Cheers.
