| Summary | 0010980: Self Doumenting Quick Launch | ||||||||
| Description | The quick launch is the greatest feature since the bread slicer. Unfortunately, it is so unobtrusive that it remains hidden to many users, and is thus not used as much as it should be. The quick launch can be come self discoverable by simply adding entries to open it from the source and filters menu and then providing instructions right on the quick launch dialog. Detailed design is documented on this Wiki page: http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/index.php/Self_Documenting_Quick_Launch [^] | ||||||||

The menu is created in pqParaViewMenuBuilders::buildFiltersMenu/ pqParaViewMenuBuilders::buildSourcesMenu. |

Also need to look at pqParaVIewBehaviors.cxx, pqPVApplicationCore.cxx |

I was able to add text to the menu for the key stroke but not actually add a QKeySequence, thus avoiding ambiguous shortcut errors from Qt. So The menu option is present but I didn't add the key-stroke directions to the actual quick launch dialog. If you prefer I still add the directions to the dialog (when launched from a menu click) let me know. |

I think it's important to advertise the keystroke necessary to start the quick launch. Otherwise, you can't use it effectively. I don't see that keystroke advertised anywhere. Could you add a label to the quick launch itself declaring the keystroke? Although less elegant, it would probably be OK if it was there all the time, even when launched with the keystroke itself. |

You should see the menu entry and the keystroke in the Sources and Filters menu. Is it not showing for you? |
|
(0023210) Ken Moreland (manager) 2010-11-12 13:32 |
Not on my Mac (see attached screenshot). I agree though that it is a good (probably better) alternate advertisement. |

Weird, I do see it on my Mac <see attached>. What Qt are you using out of curiosity? I am using 4.6.3. |
|
(0023229) Ken Moreland (manager) 2010-11-12 15:21 |
Qt 4.6.2. |
|
(0023329) David Partyka (developer) 2010-11-17 09:27 |
I switched to 4.6.2 and I still see the key strokes in Sources and Filters menu. I also checked two other mac builds on different systems and they all have it. These are all 64bit builds on Snow Leopard using cocoa. Are you using Leopard/Tiger and/or carbon? Can you verify you see the key strokes on any other systems? |
|
(0023332) Ken Moreland (manager) 2010-11-17 09:55 |
It was a 32bit Leopard build. Looking at a build on my Snow Leopard, I see the documentation there. I think you've chased this down far enough. I don't see any point going through the trouble to fix that one build. |
