[gpodder-devel] GUI Proposal

A few other reflexions:
* instead of adding other option to the preference dialog, why not have a
"view" menu like other application with 2 options: "show/hide toolbar",
"show/hide description"
* I also find the description under the episodes title provides by Thomas
better as a description block on the bottom
* I like Rafael's progress bar near the episodes information. I thing it's not
incompatible with the "download" tab and we could have both of them.

Wow, these look really good with some nice, fresh ideas :)

That's nice. A toolbar on/off toggle should be easy to implement. If you
want, please grab the current SVN trunk head (see the Wiki for
instructions), make a patch (including src/gpodder/config.py
configuration option) and send it to the mailing list.

The reason for this (also already mentioned in a reply by Shane) is that
it is a way to quickly have an overview over all episodes that are
downloaded at the moment.
The way you did it in your mockup robs much screen space from the right
side that could be used to display more text from the
description/episode title (see the third screenshot on the wiki page).

I think we can remove this, as with the new episode list patch, the
description would be shown just beneath the title. Again, see the
screenshot for how it would look like.

What speaks against the episode info dialog? We could make the episode
info dialog non-modal if you want, but I think the info dialog is just
fine. What do we gain by placing the episode details in the bottom part
of the window?

Please, by all means send in patches if you have them. It would be
really good if you could send them in small pieces (i.e. only the
toolbar show/hide, then another patch for this and another one for that,
so I can commit and review them one by one).

Combining the other people's comments, I've created a Wiki page
summarizing the current discussion status:
http://gpodderwiki.jottit.com/gui-proposal-discussion
Maybe we can combine the good ideas to another set of GUI mockups and
also make sure that there is a way to view all current downloads?
Thanks,
Thomas
