That's really cool, congrats guys! You've all made some really incredible progress lately, turning libh from a weird little curiousity into something which genuinely looks like it'll be replacing sysinstall in the not-too-distant future. I know that was the plan all along, but I'll be honest - I had some real doubts for awhile and what I've seen in the last 6 months is nothing short of amazing! Now that I've buttered you all up, one small critical suggestion for the disk editor... :-) It would be really nice if there were some way to nest the partitions/slices visually so that it was clear from more than just the name what was "inside" what, to wit: ad0 IDE DISK 500MB ad0s1 DOS 200MB ad0s2 BSD 300MB ad0s2a / 80MB ad0s2d /usr 170MB ad0s2e /var 50MB Or something to that effect. You could even line up the types and sizes if that would look better: ad0 IDE DISK 500MB ad0s1 DOS 200MB ad0s2 BSD 300MB ad0s2a / 80MB ad0s2d /usr 170MB ad0s2e /var 50MB Naturally, if we have those little "disclosure triangles" in the generic widget set's list widget (you know, the triangles that point down when they're expanded and point to the right when they're indicating that there's "more to disclose") then they could also be used to very good effect in the disk editor, with "full disclosure" being the default state. - Jordan On Monday, May 27, 2002, at 01:46 PM, Alexander Langer wrote: > Hi! > > For those of you that are interested, I just uploaded a screenshot, > showing the libh diskeditor in a console window (tvision in a xterm) > and the qt version at the same time. > > Kinda nice. > http://usw4.freebsd.org/~libh/screenshot-hui-console+qt-2002-05-27.jpg > > More to come.
