Some enhancements in the inspector for browsing "pointers to" objects

Open labordep opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello!

Some enhancements about inspector capacities to browse objects "pointers to":

  • The icon for using debugger (break and watch) is the same icon that the "Browse pointers to" action, this is very confusing. image image

  • I would like to have "pointers to" action directly in the menu bar, because this is very usefull! image

  • This is shame to don't have same ergonomic contextual menu on the right view (when an object is on a collection) and on the left view (when an object is isolated) : image image

For the icon confusion, I propose this new one for the object-centric commands. We would keep the original one with three colors for the pointers to command. Capture d’écran 2024-09-20 à 10 28 51 Capture d’écran 2024-09-20 à 10 29 17 Capture d’écran 2024-09-20 à 10 29 04

Thanks @StevenCostiou. Just an ergonomic rule: to have same icon but with different colors is not suffisant for all users. A lot of people cannot see all colors variations (for example daltonism) and to be more inclusive each icon need to have a different shape. So the potential icon for "browsing pointers" need to have a different shape that this one.
