GUI: IOC macro patterns #2053

Open ThomasLohnert opened 7 years ago

ThomasLohnert commented 7 years ago

The IOC macros panel could use some rework. Proposed changes: Give the descriptions more room in the table so they actually fit and replace the regex in pattern (which will be gibberish to must users) with human-readable rules.

Mockup: ioc_macro_redesign_v1

This looks nice. Ideally each macro would come with an example and a default. At the moment defaults are woven into the description and examples here would be in the pattern. It would be nicer if each macro could have these as separate properties so they can be displayed more consistently.

It would also be good to properly databind this so that you do not need to explicitly press the set macro button but the table is just filled in as you type. Preferably you can also just directly edit the cell in the table rather than having a second text box. We should add a way of undoing if we do this. Adding here but could be worth it's own ticket?
