[rkward-devel] Usability progress, testing on Mac

[Jan Wort]

Brief remarks on the usability: 

- Generally awesome :)
1st Set: 
- + and x in the Table:    - great to have a delete button on every element    - delete button should be in the last "column" instead of the frist 
    - the + is not needed on every element the + on the bottom of the list is sufficient- Love the fold/unfold mechanism: details and overview in one Interface!
- Klicking on the + only would be o (instead of the whole row, which is unusual and thus hard(er) to remember). Or, as alternative fix: make the whole last row highlight on hover, to signalize that it can be clicked- The + and x buttons at the bottom can go. They are not needed and confuse imho. - There should be some "visual coherence" of a row and it‘s edit view (that the row one opened and the fields in the detail view belong together), and a (minor) seperation from the opened row/its details from other entries. Is there a way to style the table/Tree, possibly with horizontal lines or a background or both? (just tell me what is possible, and I try to come up with a solution in this constraints)
Other Sets (B, connected, driven):- I prefer A (the 1st) over B vor various usability and efficiency reasons. 
- I did not test the Connected and the driven set, but they both seem o.k., it would be a nice addition if clicking the variable (in the picker) would open the corresponding details in the optionset (so the users sees that they are connected)- In a similar direction: We should get rid of the # in the option set or include it in the variables-part of the picker too, so the user can connect these two lists mentally more easier (since they look more similar than)

as this looks like a debian based system, i'd recommend this approach instead:

  sudo apt-get build-dep rkward
  git clone git://anongit.kde.org/rkward.git
  cd rkward
  git checkout work/optionset_experiments
  dpkg-buildpackage -b
  sudo dpkg -i ../rkward_0.6.3z+0.6.4+devel1-1_amd64.deb

this will build a debian package from the git sources and then replace the 
installed package. you can then painlessly revert to the previous state by 
simply re-installing the package from the repository.
