Title: Interface improvements
Post by: Massimo Mancini on June 17, 2009, 04:45:52 AM
Ok, I've begun to play...

sorry for undiscovered features... but I would appreciate a lot if

1. I could manage the teachers constraints directly from list of Teachers form (add a button from global constraints - all in one form if you can - right click on teacher name for all personal constraints.  

2. I could set Avalaible/Not avalaible  constraints on selection basis also where a selection is possible (example: for not working day of a teacher)

I am sorry, but interface is my weak point. I hope somebody will come to make a new better interface.

With this post I begin reporting here some bugs (I hope only aestetic).

PROBLEM: Window Exceed Screen Dimension (WESD)
WHERE: add new constraint (max hole number for teacher)
SYMPTOM: the help massage is too long (no automatic word wrapping) and is unformatted. It need to reformat all help message (one line -> multiline) to fit in windows of reasonable size).
GRAVITY: high - it is impossible to resize the window

PROBLEM: general readability
WHERE: in all window with  long explication messages
SYMPTOM: the messages are shown without any enhancing trick (bold to  some reserved/specific words or simple break line would be welcome).
GRAVITY: low
HINT: I think this be resolved changing original messages and translations, embedding bold tag, CR and so on. Isn't it ? I've just made a quick check in qt4-designer.

PROBLEM: insufficent min size for dialog with complex widget in it
WHERE: for example when show timetable of teacher or in add form for avalaible/not avalaible rime constraint
SYMPTOM: it need to manually resize the windows all the times
GRAVITY: nasty

Solved. Translation problem.

I don't like bold texts. I cannot make the text automatically wrap, because these are Qt 3 dialogs and Qt 3 does not allow that.

You mean you need them larger? Some users (including myself) have 1024*768 resolution, and making them larger is not good.

Thanks for reports!
