Improve discoverability of features in the UI

Open privat opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Using #1662 as an example, the UI could be improved.

As I understand, there are four principal kinds of windows:

  • the list of Repositories, the main Iceberg window from Main menu>Sources>Ivcberg or Ctrl+O+I;
  • the Working copy of of a given repository. Accessible with Packages (Ctrl+P) or double-click;
  • the Repository of a given repository. Accessible with Open Repository (Ctrl+R);
  • the Commit on a given repository. Accessible with Commit (Ctrl+S).

Various operations are available in these windows trough toolbar buttons or context menu entries. Unfortunately, only a subset of operations in the context menu of Repositories is available in the other windows, especially the Working copy.

A possibility could be to have an extra 'Other' button that open popup with the missing operations.

@privat Not sure I understand what exactly is needed. You want the "Working copy" in the menu?

Feel free to propose the change as pull request (PR)
