Main GUI clicks redesign

[Reimar Bauer]

Currently we have two different click controls to select something from the main gui.

On Open Views:

doubleclick

On Open flight tracks:

Press "set selected flight track active" while double click means rename.

We should change this to become consistent, selecting always by double click, removing this button.

Enabling right button, for context menu and move the rename button also into the File Menu.

Also may be we could show, the name of the flighttrack together with a connected number of Points (2nd colum), comments (3rd column), filename (fourth column), The export format has a <Comments></Comments> we should provide to add there a message.

Open Tools

As long as there is no "Tool used" we can minimize this selector box.

Some additional comments:

The flightrack handling should be changed in the following way:

• drop the "name" field and replace that by the filename (confuses many users!)
• highlight active flighttrack in list (bold?) Then the active flighttrack might be removed.
• ask for a name when creating a new flighttrack
• add buttons to "select"and "rename" flighttracks
• change double-click to mean "select"
• maybe add right-click action or similar to rename

Issue #249 was marked as a duplicate of this issue.

Changed MSS to use filename as flight track name.

That implies that 1.6 FTML files cannot be read mit MSS versions smaller than 1.6 (due to the missing track name). Earlier FTML files can be read with MSS 1.6.

Thus also the ability to change a trackname in the UI was removed and the double-click now consistently "activates" the clicked item. Tooltips have been adjusted accordingly.

Simplfied flight track list by highlighting active flightrack by bold font.

Added a menu entry for activating flight track

As double-clicking may not be "obvious", a menu entry should help the novice to switch between flight tracks. Some refactoring with last remembered directory. The last directory used for saving FTML files is now used as default for all file operations. Might be generalized and or remembered between sessions..?

I propose to change this, as the major points have been made consistent. double click activates an item. Renaming has been moved to the menu. I do not think that minimizing the Toolbox is really worth the complexity. Removing it and the tools would be more sensible at the current point in time, which should go in another issue, I think.

[Joern Ungermann]

I propose again to close this.
