Review greatly appreciated.
Video reviews/comments for now, I plan on reading through the patches after
this.
All in all I think the UI improvements are very nice. The workflow makes more
sense in a lot of areas. That said, I do have some comments/ideas/whatever on
what I saw:
1) I like the bar and tree view for the main partitioning screen. But I don't
think it's used effectively for adding new partitions. I'd like to see the
Create button disabled until you have clicked on something that would allow a
Create operation. For example, to create a regular partition on /dev/sda, I
should have to click /dev/sda in the tree or bar view to highlight that drive,
then I can click Create to add the partition.
This should also remove the 'Allowable drives' checkbox list in the Add
Partition window. Once you've clicked the item you want to create something
on, there should be no need for the Allowable drives checkbox list.
2) Similar to the Allowable drives removal, I would like to see the logical
volume list in the Add LVM Volume Group window go away. If I Create a volume
group, that group should then appear in the bar and tree view and I should be
able to click on it, click Create, and be offered the option to create a
logical volume. That could use the Add Partition window, with labels modified
and unnecessary fields removed.
Logical volume editing works in style in the videos, so creating logical
volumes should be in a similar style.
[And I see you already mentioned this in your initial email as something that
does not yet work.]
3) I would still like to give users the ability to select a display unit other
than MB in the partitioning UI. I know I've mentioned this before. I would
also like to see the values themselves have a unit indicator next to them as
opposed to just in the column header.
4) The Edit and Delete buttons should be disabled when nothing valid is
selected for those actions.
