Select Images For Raking UI #10

The title in in flow with the check boxes

thehabes commented 6 years ago

In the "Consult Preferences" Window, Short File Names is the last entry. It is 'true', 'false' or blank.

In the "Select Tasks" window, I have added a new section titled "Set our file name appearance preference below" where there is a checkbox available labeled Short File Names.

The most dramatic effect is what it does in "Select Light Positions" where files names appear ...Like_This_RTI-A01.tif

If you are not seeing this, try to checkout or pull down a fresh version of master. I will rebuild the plugin and upload to master to make sure the plugin I put up is the most recent code (perhaps it is not).

The latest build fixed the problem of showing the full paths.

It still requires horizontal scrolling. Two UI ideas:

  1. Replace not only the filepath but also the constant portion of the filename with ellipsis. For example, in my data each option begins Ambrosiana_C73inf_062_RTI- and only the information thereafter is relevant. This is a common practice.

  2. Draw a wider dialog menu. I think we can assume at least a HD display for anyone using this.

Definitely an overall principle brought to light here. Make the dialogs form to a large percentage of the detected screen size instead of hard coding values. This will give the dialog space where the screen can accommodate it.

This is now working, but needs UI review and will be tracked there.
