Consolidating feedback based on some discussion in #toppdzn :
* Big +1 on having the MIME types in that dropdown be more human
readable.
* Rollie's been curating a set of GeoSilk icons for styler, which
includes icons to indicate vector-based / rasterized output. It'd be
nice to use these in the 'Type' column instead of the strings "Vector"
and "Raster". We could include tooltip text to clarify for newer users
via the "title" attribute.
The "GeoSilk" set, along with the canonical Silk set (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/), are the ones used elsewhere throughout this new UI. You can find the most up-to-date version here: http://files.opengeo.org/geosilk/
* Let's consolidate the "Workspace" and "Name" columns into Qualified
names
* Let's add "Title" as a column
* Both Qualified name and Title should link to GeoSearch pages
whenever those exist. Otherwise, let's leave the text unlinked.
I think we also talked about making sure that the filter/search scraped the abstract and keyword metadata if it doesn't already. As Cholmes said, our UI should gently push people towards best practices.
I can turn these into a JIRA if that's best (I see that Mike created
GEOS-2836 for the human-readable dropdown text), but wanted to bring
these to the list for discussion first.Chris

Thanks Andrea. Screenshots are very helpful for those who aren't
ready to build their own trunk.Q: Are we going to replace the MIME types in that pull down list
with more human-readable entries? Or perhaps have the MIME types
in parentheses (or as tooltips?)Mumble, I'm a little torn on that one. That drop down is kind of the
"advanced" thing of that dropdown. To make for human readable names
we'd have to extend the output formats classes to provide a straight
name, or try to use the mime as an entry into the i18n files (not sure
mime types are valid property names thought).
Not sure which path to go, but the issue might be deeper than just the
UI page code.Cheers
