<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p>here are a few more issues i identified when working with the
webinterface. Please consider to integrate some of the proposals
into your next milestone (continuing the numbering from my last
mail, see below).<br>
</p>
<p>6 In some cases the "What's Related" Area on the Page Panel
blocks the Browser/Webclient completely for a long (felt) time<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/643">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/643</a></p>
<p>You might have experienced this when revealing a workspace topic
(as that has usually pretty fast many topics associated).</p>
<p>7 Easify revealing of a specific Type (Topic or Association Type)<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1042">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1042</a></p>
<p>8 Select on from a list of many hundreds through typing<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/330">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/330</a></p>
I especially wanted to invite you to discuss a general solution for
Nr. 6. I currently have no really good idea on how to get this
improved (without having paging or loading just a few hundred items
at max which we discarded some time ago). I favor a huge "What's
related"-Button at the end of the page panel which loads the topics
on-demand and in-place.<br>
<br>
Since introducing Tabs are now in the discussion, moving all related
topics into a "What's related?" Tab could solve this issue, too (the
browser window suddenly freezing and blocking any action for 10-20
secs).<br>
<p>You can find the trac ticket for Nr. 6 at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/643">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/643</a></p>
<p>At first i found that certain Topicmaps in the "DM4 Improvement"
workspace showed just too much information for me (as a person who
just wanted to join the talk) so i left. Now, after taking some
time off and trying again it felt a bit easier to read and work
with them. Probably because i looked around and saw them once
before :)<br>
</p>
<p>Nice greetings,</p>
<p>M<br>

<p>thanks a lot for your work! For example, I really do appreciate
the new improvement that topicmaps are now sorted in the
Topicmap Menu.<br>

<p>I've added five wishes i collected over the last two years to
the topicmap "06 Search" (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>If i would need to prioritize these wishes i would say 1 would
be the most useful, then 4 and 3, then 5 and then 1.<br>

<p>Thanks a ton for making DM4 better!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Ingo,
thank you very much for coming up with these suggestions!
To further operationalize your suggestions I've created tickets from them (resp. point to existing tickets). And I did some prioritization, and a rough roadmap.
As the most important major improvements I see these 2:
Building composite types should be easier:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1045">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1045</a>
Organize Detail Panel with tabs:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1046">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1046</a>
These 2 could be the main features of the 2 next DM major releases (that is 4.9 and 4.10) respectively.
I guess the 1st one (the type builder) would to be realized best, if we redesign the Webclient's general Search and Create features first. For doing that I'm very inspired by a design idea Gerben realized in his Web Memex front-end.
The following 3 I regard as minor features/fixes which could be realized very soon:
Avoid unwanted child topics to be revealed:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/624">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/624</a>
Search result is displayed twice:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1049">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1049</a>
Add creation date to search topic:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/502">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/502</a>
So far for what I see realizable in the near future.
The remaining tasks are either too big for the moment and I would like to postpone them, or they seem of minor importance. (Of course all are important but the aim of this mail is operationalization, right?)
Add "Smart Searches":
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1047">https://trac.deepamehta.de/ticket/1047</a>
3 search scopes: global, workspace, topicmap:

Ingo, I'm amazed about your thoughtful suggestions and how you documented them in your meticulously crafted topicmaps! I think many DM users will benefit from your suggestions, and I'm keen to see the first part of them realized soon.
Cheers,
Jörg

Hi everyone,
recently we discussed how the DM webclient could be improved - especially when modelling new topic types but also when entering data with topic instances. I have started a workspace 'DM4 Improvements' which I have swithed to public mode. You can start exploring here: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/58556">https://my.deepamehta.de/topicmap/58556</a>
Be aware that all this is work in progress and that none of the improvements have been decided about yet. They are ment to be the base of disussions and definitely need further reviewing and prioritisation.
I have created several topicmaps within the workspace to group aspects. In some cases I have created examples directly on the map to clarify my ideas. I made use of colored notes (red an green) to differentiate between "what is not ideal" and "userstory" on how it could be improved. That way I hope facilitate deriving trac tickets.
That's it for now. Go on and explore. I will keep you updated on further content added. Please contact me If you wish to contribute. I will then add you as a member to the workspace.
Cheers, Ingo
