One thing: Qt here uses variable-width font, so the columns are > not aligned. It would be interesting to have some "table" widget > instead of "tabbed" listboxes. That's on my todo. Basically, I want to rewrite Qt's "tabbed" part to use Qt table widgets to display correctly (== aligned). So Listboxes could be used w/o tables and w/ tables. If you need it, use \t alignment for now, and I'll implement it ASAP. > If there is no table widget available, I'll probably try to setup the > label editor as a list of buttons/fields/labels in various containers. > Then the problem will be of having this area "panable". Ouch, no. I already know _how_ to add support for this to Qt's listbox widget, but it's an annoying task since you have to recalculate for every add/remove of lines... . I should do it, nevertheless. Maybe this evening :) > Note that the "available disks" listbox is doomed to go. That or the > disk units from the "available partitions" listbox.

To be honest, I didn't really design the diskeditor before starting working on it, so if you find design issues now, you should fix them :)) > Now, the thing is that if disklabel "replaces" diskwizard, users might > be confused if they arrive to disklabel first and that there is nothing > there (in the case of a new install).

Yeah. Sort them manually in libh, we can't rely on kern.disks here. I really don't know what happens to pcmcia disks anyways - are they added to the end of the list? etc... Content-Description: new disklabel I haven't tested this yet, but looks awesome. Will do tonight :) Great stuff!
