Feedback about Breadcrumb Navigation stuff.

[Stephen Kelly]

The feedback is based on an old video. I didn't have time to make a new video 
yet, but here is a screenshot of how it looks today.

Aaron, Bart, any feedback on the latest incarnation?

All the best,

Steve.


<Stecchino> steveire: I just read your MeeGo summit proposal. Very 
interesting. I can't believe I missed you blog post about it
<aseigo> Stecchino: which blog post?
<Stecchino> aseigo: http://steveire.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/navigating-a-
qabstractitemmodel-tree-in-a-qml-view/
<Stecchino> It's almost exactly what I have in mind for Amarok
<aseigo> Stecchino: ah, yeah that one
<aseigo> steveire: btw, the only thing in that video that was a bit confusing 
visually is that all the entries look the same, regardless if they are "up" or 
"down" in the hierarchy
<aseigo> steveire: i assumed that eventually you'd be making some 
differentiation (e.g. making the "up" items a bit smaller, different background 
and/or foreground treatment, etc)
<aseigo> steveire: but the interaction is pretty good for a space constrained 
device imo :)
<aseigo> steveire: non-trivial work put into it, too :)
<Stecchino> I created a similar selection UI way back in the greenphone days. 
Pure GraphicsView.

<Stecchino> I made the breadcrumb items smaller to make them visually different
<Stecchino> I would make the breadcrumb navigatable using swipes so the items 
don't have to be the same size as the ones from the selection list
