I like:<div><br></div><div>1. Reduce Margins</div><div>2. Split buttons into groups</div><div>3. Reduce Min row height (could this be adjustable within a setting of QGIS?)</div><div><br></div><div>Disklike:</div><div><br></div>
<div>"look for" should at least be "Search" or "Search for" </div><div><br></div><div>Agree or Suggestion?:</div><div> a simple >magnifying glass search icon< for a "Search" button OR </div>
<div> - Simply selecting search parameters (or typing) automagically live searches (possible?)</div><div> - Replace Search Button with an X button to clear search parameters</div><div><br></div><div>a simple >magnifying glass search icon with +< for advanced search</div>
<div><br></div><div>Onto a separate topic...</div><div><br></div><div>You must know your way around Designer. </div><div><br></div><div>I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to create an identity window that allows direct editing within it.</div>
<div>I have only a couple hours after work to investigate, but between kids and the need for sleep I don't make much progress! ^_^</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your UI design remake, It is an improvement, and if searching can be activated LIVE then I agree a Search Button is really unnecessary.</div>

Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Today I was looking at some different ways to redesign and optimize the attribute table UI and have come up with a design that I think works well but would like to get some feedback first.</div>
<div>
<br></div><div>I have made two screenshots, showing the old and new dialog at the same size and using the same Qt theme.</div><div><br></div><div>Just a plain comparison screenshot : <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Plain.png" target="_blank">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Plain.png</a></div>
<div>Comparison screenshot with notes : <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Noted.png" target="_blank">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Noted.png</a> </div><div><br></div><div>The main things are:</div><div><ol><li>Make the min row height to 16. This removes the empty space below the text in the current UI and allows more rows to be shown with less wasted space.</li>
<li>Reduce some of the margins around the controls.</li><li>Move the search stuff to the top in order to give search text more space and group the items better. All search options at the top.</li><li>Replace Advanced search button with a hyperlink style button. This is less distracting from a UI point of view IMO.</li>
<li>Remove Search button as Enter on the keyboard does the same thing. Is a button really needed?</li><li>Split buttons at bottom into two groups. Actions for current selection and stuff that only works in edit mode e.g. adding new column.</li>
</ol> Over all you can show about 4 more rows depending on the theme. Having the search at the top for me feels better as it is less cramped then where it is now and makes more sense to click Show Selected Only and seeing the results below. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyone have any thoughts about the design?</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>- Nathan</div>
