observed UX: The open recent text area in the Mastodon main window could be editable #181

Closed xulman closed 1 year ago

xulman commented 2 years ago

Sometime one has multiple .mastodon projects nearby in otherwise deeply nested common folder, one clicks all the way to open the first project.. later one wants to open the second project... and must click through again (or Cut&Paste the path, edit aside, open dialog, Paste-in the edited path, choose .mastodon file)

Normal people, who don't mess with the text area, would hopefully not mind that it is editable...

Do you feel like working on this? We are already late for the beta-22...

xulman commented 2 years ago

Screenshot_20220727_155249 was easy... if'd like it... but does not need to go into beta-22

(need to test on other platforms, need to figure the alignments... and even fonts may be less heavy)

rather then editing the text area, I thought it is easier to open the containing folder, navigate UI-wise to the nearby project and then drag&drop to open it

would be nice, btw, to be able to DnD into the laucher

the code would be here: https://github.com/xulman/mastodon/commit/8e7dbd660a8e38d42b24b52704242abc812237a8

It's good, but please make sure the edited paths are serialized to the list of recent projects after edit.

I'm not sure after reading the commits. With the newest Mastodon version, double clicking on the filename in the Mastodon launcher opens a file open dialog. That's a nice solution already. Should this issue therefor be considered fixed? @xulman could you comment.

@stefanhahmann would otherwise work on this issue. He would make the text area editable, as suggested in this issue.
