[Qgis-developer] Fwd: [Quantum GIS Desktop - Bug #4550] Improvements to projection widget

[Paolo Cavallini]

Good job Richard, I appreciate it.
A question: could someone please apply the same widget everywhere?
A few dialogs (e.g. for SpatiaLite) use a different interface, and this 
inconsistent behaviour is disturbing.
Thanks a lot.
All the best.

Issue #4550 has been updated by Richard Duivenvoorde.

This has always been the case I think. There can actually (depending on 
the size of the dialog) be 3 or 4 lines of proj-parameters. But we also 
want to minimize the size of the dialog. Besides that, there is actually 
nothing you can do with those parameters (besides look at them...).

So: given we want to miminize the dialog: do you still want it to be bigger?

  Bug #4550: Improvements to projection widget

I think the projection widget should be improved, by

    * having the search filtering the projections rather than moving to
      the next matching (see e.g. in the plugin list)
    * it would be good to have the search working in both fields (people
      often overlook the search field selector)
    * the internal projection ID could be hidden (I do not see any use
      of it for the user)
    * set the focus to the 'find' button as soon as you try to type
      something into the find-text input.
      Now the user often type a code and then hit <enter> without
      result, because 'apply' apparently has focus: you really have to
      click the <find> button
    * better make a general find: just search over al fields, so we can
      remove the two dropdowns

Single tickets might be opened, but I think once we start cleaning up 
the interface it is a simple matter to do all.
