Improve view options #211

Closed tnrich closed 6 years ago

tnrich commented 6 years ago

I think the current view options is close to being nice, but it is an awkward experience using that little view dropdown. I think a smoother experience would be to give each view tab a "title" and allow them to be dragged around.

This could also be a nice way to display additional tools, like a digest result or a sequence alignment or a crispr scoring list.

I went ahead and made a first pass of this to see what it would be like. Here's a gif of that:

This will allow us to get rid of the properties toggle button and the view options toggle button.

@njhillson @hplahar @mfero any thoughts on this change?

Hi Thomas, I agree that there could be a better way of doing it. Your mock up doesn't seem so intuitive to me, though. Particularly, I wouldn't think to click to drag one of the options, or how to create the new panel or remove an existing panel by dragging to a new area or dragging it back to an existing panel.

Hmm I think that with a couple minor tweaks we can make it an intuitive experience.

Ok, happy to look.

Now that I know how this works, I like it quite a bit. Perhaps not entirely intuitive, but having the hover over cursor change to a move icon, and indicating where to drag it to add a new tab is nice. Right click to open in split screen also works.

I agree that this looks much better, although it wasn't very intuitive for me at the beginning.
