Pause refresh when a plot log is selected (clicked on)

Open grayfallstown opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

When someone clicks on a list entry he usually wants to highlight and compare it.

Refreshing does make the list/table scroll to top and deselect the selected (as in clicked on) entry and the way to fix this is currently unknown.

Automatically pausing refresh in such a case does protect the user from unexpected surprises.

But the user might not expect that clicking on an entry pauses refresh and that he needs to click on a button to continue refreshing the data.

Because of that the interface needs to clearly indicate that something changed when the user clicked on a list/table entry.

One way would be to replace the Chia Plot Status Logo with a pause logo while refreshing is paused. Might be overkill.

Another way would be to make the refresh button blink. Likely very annoying/distracting, therefor a bad idea.

Yet another way would be to make the pause/continue button red, as nothing in the application is red yet and that would be an eye-catcher.

Refs, but not solves #51, #81 and #45
