"Add layer" option is hard to reach if list of data is too long

Open aashish24 opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Steps to reproduce:

  • Add WMS source (epidemico), enter username password
  • The UI presents a list
  • Add layer is way down... takes a while to get to it..

What we could do?

  • Add a button in front of each entry (open for other suggestion as well)

@aashish24

Check out the screenshots in #158. There is a search field at the top that filters the list. I bet this will accomplish what you want.

thanks @mgrauer but what happens if your search returns a long list of items as well?

are you saying that you don't want to scroll back up, as a usability issue? trying to understand the exact problem.

@mgrauer You saw it other day, if you have a long list and you filter, add layer is way far down. I think having a control in front of each entry would be nice but I am open for other options.
