File list and Task list in the same page
This is a proposal to have both lists on the same page. In this way, an user can interact better in its setting up process
Here a mockup
I decided against this for now. I felt like it was a little overstimulating visually and taking up a lot of screen real estate. I might look at it again for a future release. Thank you for the suggestion, anyway.
I have created an experimental branch with the "tasks plan" button that expands \ collaps the tasks pane. I have also added a toolbar where a user can retrieve the tasks list configuration (I have called it "Plans") Please have a look and let me know https://github.com/farfilli/SolidEdgeHousekeeper/tree/TaskPane
Please remember that this is only a concept therefore the plans toolbar doesn't work and the actual retrieve \ save tasks configuration will lead to errors as I just move controls to the collapsible pane at runtime.
That's slick. You have a knack for organizing things in a logical and unobtrusive way.
We can plan this enhancement for a future release, let me know when I should start to mess up on the main branch. Time to reopen this issue?
I have used the current version (tabs version) after working on the split page concept for a while makes me feel it is the right way. You have under control the list of tasks during execution, perhaps we could also add a marker to highlight the task that is currently executed during the processing. The saved plans will be a huge time saver, for example, a user with different customer settings could work in a "neutral" common setup and in the end apply the customer settings to the whole files.
Ability to save plans will be a premium feature, we can make a separate issue for that
I'm still not totally convinced on combining the two tabs, but I do trust your judgement on such things.
I should be ready to release the next version in the coming weeks. Once that's out, we can try out the split view concept.
Or, as an option we could give the user the ability to choose tabs Vs split.
If all the control are on a pane control should be easy to move it from a container to another
That's a great idea!
I've been laying the groundwork for this. Previously I captured settings by checking all controls recursively. Now I have property getters/setters. If a property change requires a UI update, it's in the setter code. Much cleaner and easier to deal with.
