That's the way we're leaning for now. We can always change it if we get feedback that says we should!<BR/><BR/>Did take a look at Ideajam... Making things copy and pastable was already on my mind :-) A lot of the requests are handled by Eclipse... The property panels can float or dock, if floating, they resize. They're written with Java layouts, so the resizing is a lot easier than with the current infobox code.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the thoughts!Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08783404920615182265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-27757370288181819962007-12-06T13:31:00.000-05:002007-12-06T13:31:00.000-05:00Maureen,<BR/><BR/>Have you seen some of the great ideas people have had about property boxes on Idea Jam?<BR/><BR/>http://ideajam.netBrucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06350192036150594006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-21239177990981450502007-12-03T08:08:00.000-05:002007-12-03T08:08:00.000-05:00I like the idea proposed by Michelle (2nd comment).Carloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09961478284332496098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-68732989440002177542007-12-03T03:12:00.000-05:002007-12-03T03:12:00.000-05:00I like the idea.JulianBusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04658748896590955575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-44002201845803137552007-12-03T03:05:00.000-05:002007-12-03T03:05:00.000-05:00Sounds ok. I trust you on stuff like this, since you know much more about it than I ;-)Jan Van Puyveldenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-52235825771523279612007-12-02T20:26:00.000-05:002007-12-02T20:26:00.000-05:00I think the Eclipse properties view would be appropriate for document properties, text properties, etc.<BR/><BR/>But the current Notes Database properties would probably work best in the main panel - similar to what you get when you edit a WAS web.xml file for a project in Rational Software Developer. This tabbed interface, with lists, checkboxes, buttons etc would allow the flexibility needed. As you point out - the current database properties dialog is actually more than properties, it is a way to set & launch a variety of things, and I think this 'profile page' approach would work best.<BR/><BR/>The challenge of course is to provide the same application properties to the client, the designer and the administrator, as many properties do not exclusively fall into one realm or another.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05167396174428055475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-38783683536567692862007-12-02T19:26:00.000-05:002007-12-02T19:26:00.000-05:00I don't really care if you use an Eclipse panel or a property box that opens. As long as it is modal AND 10000000% seperate from the process of the client. The property box/panel should not cause me to not be able to switch to the client. It needs to be complete seperate space. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I would like it all or nothing. Half and Half will just feel like you didn't finish the job. Go all the way with Eclipse panels is my suggestion.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16995240613896001246noreply@blogger.com
