Lovelace UI Editor Suggestions and Oversights. #218

Closed rxritalin closed 5 years ago

rxritalin commented 5 years ago

Just started using the UI editor for Lovelace today and short of stating good job, I wanted to point out a few things I noticed from a UX perspective. Obvious Omissions:

  1. Tab Order - There needs to be a simple way to reorder tabs. At present the only way I can see to do this is to delete all of the tabs and start building them again from scratch. From a UX perspective this is horrible.

  2. Tab View Variables - There seem to be some omissions in the Tab Creation window, like Panel and Background

  3. Moving Cards Between Tabs - There should be a way to move and or copy Cards from one tab to another. I am aware that I can open a card, copy the code, create a new card in another tab and paste the code. This feels sloppy from a UX perspective though. Reminds me of that old trope of designers vs developers.

Next release adds Moving cards between Tabs.

We have plans to add Duplicating of cards.

Good Catch on the Tab View Variables

Will look into Moving Views

Closing this as some things are done, others are worked on.
