8 years ago Just learned in gitter that this is "slated for death", so I stop my list of improvements. But this pt2 I had already typed.
This is a follow up on https://github.com/ethereum/mix/issues/321
feature request: Larger/choosable font size in code editor
Deploy Step 2: ... press Deploy Scenarion
Idea: As soon as the TXid is known, show it in the GUI. Then I can check e.g. etherchain for confirmations etc
Deploy Step 3:
"Save packaged DApp to": "..." copypaste button does nothing
qml: Closing project Segmentation fault
What is the key to repeat a search? Suggestion: New menu ... Help ... keyboard shortcuts. Or: Introduce "Edit" menu for copypaste, find, replace, etc.

gitter ethereum/mix bobsummerwill ... Also be aware that Mix is slated for death, to be replace by remix. https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/05/04/c-dev-update-announcing-remix/
What about maintaining a positive list of tools that will have long term support?

First impressions of mix-ide
Great tool! Really like it.
Sorry if the following are newb problems. A fresh perspective helps sometimes.
My system is Debian 8 (my manual: ethereum_debian8.txt.)
Some suggestions:
Pressing "debug transaction":
Segmentation fault with: qrc:/qml/Watchers.qml:79: Error: Cannot assign [undefined] to bool qrc:/qml/Watchers.qml:79: Error: Cannot assign [undefined] to bool
had to restart it.
Starting mix-ide, intuitive first step (with the sample contract) is to use the HTML page (with the lilac background).
The "query get" works, great! But "Store 17 Save" results in a yellow-red "web3.js - line 3885 - Uncaught Error: Invalid address". Have I missed anything?
EDIT (-: web3.eth.defaultAccount = web3.eth.accounts[0]
Yes I know, RTFM; but once a GUI matures, not needed anymore.
Suggestion, check at start:
Before, instead I had to
1 press the PLUS 2 add transaction 3 transact with contract 4 function set() 5 v 17 6 ok 7 press the PLUS 8 Seal block
right?
--> Please make two buttons of the one PLUS:
1 add transaction 2 seal block
Easier to use, and to understand.
Inside "add transaction": Default "Type of transaction" --> "Transact with contract"
not "create contract" (because the latter is used only once).
The Debian 8 rendering of Qt window and dialogs has choosen a different(-from-windows) font? Because most your default window & panel sizes are too small, so they all have scrollbars. Only surface issue, but still.
EDIT: Later found the menu "Decrease Application Fontsize". Helps. Default smaller?
When I call Sample.set() it returns a value - but I cannot see that value anywhere.
until I 1 find the tx with the call 2 find the tiny down-triangle at the right, which (on Debian) is half-hidden 3 click the triangle 4 scroll down 5 find the gray "Output" --> output:
undefined 17
== many steps.
Please introduce one more panel, showing return results.
Everything below is the "Rating"-DApp from the mix-tutorial.

Typing into the 'query' field (on lilac HTML page) is slow. And caused that crash ^
Why immediately query? Wait until I finish typing, and show a "submit" button?
Deploy to network:
Pick scenario to deploy: name shown is "New_scenario_1", not my renamed name.
No message in GUI when account is not
--unlock "0"
Seen that in cosmo.
Show password dialog if not unlocked?
Make blue "Deploy contracts" column wider. Not all text readable.
"contracts deployment verified" - great. Has worked.
First I overlooked step 3. Then found package.
Idea: Perhaps auto-start step 3, when verified?
When all ready, make "cancel" button into "OK", or "ready", or "leave".
Simplemost instructions in package would be nice, something like:
cd package/www geth attach loadScript("deployment.js") RC = contracts["Rating"].contract RC.setRating.sendTransaction("matrix", "87", {from: eth.coinbase}) RC.ratings("matrix")
(for user data, perhaps use scenario input?)
Some of my ideas good?
Great tool, very happy about it. Keep up the good work!
