Interface sorted by priority

General applet and menu 

 PROJECTION is it logical in terms of interface behaviour that without having saved anything, when projecting a second map, the result of the first map is modified as if we had saved the first projection ?

if yes, we have to click undo to recover previous state .. is it possible to have the shortcut ctrl +z active ?

 at very first login with no data : info in popup is not clear enough ! popup or plain html page ? maybe it is more relevant to have a plain html page, with clear messages and screenshots explanation --- see popup message nbr 1 

 at logout: when i work on my default, and project an other map, forget to save no more messages ? what does it do ? save ? quit without saving ? popup and system messages nbr 2 +3 need to be clarified ! 

behaviour when expanding and collapsing a domain / tag : expanding : 2 possibilities : right click and button 1 in the applet toolbar collapsing : only one possibility : button 1 in the applet toolbar : why ? Would it be relevant to have also the collapse function in the right click ? (btw : rename it by close) 

after a bug of the applet, would it be possible to recover the last unsaved version of the map - to avoid the loss of all our changes before the bug ?

 time scale maps actually the public map show recent results how will we organize the possibility to visualize previous entries in the maps ?

when switching: if we recover the public space, does it mean that our unsaved modification on private space is lost ? if yes: we MUST provide users with an opportunity to save their modif before switching

 to be discussed: when opening the map, it opens exactly in the same state it has been left; i.e if a node has been expanded, or if we were in tag mode before leaving ... is it relevant ? or would it be better to have the visualisation by default of the chosen settings: i.e maybe: open the map in domain mode </li>

vectorization of the nodes and URL Domain shapes:

a.time's response of the server is too slow !

b. users should can have a real customisation of their map colors</li>

 popup windows for tagging, save, rename should keep the focus untill they have been closed by users</li>

settings  customization function : why the function that allow users to reset the default option ( i.e default map colors and default user icon)  has been removed ? it should be always possible to choose the default icon and default settings  if wanted ! Ie : defautl icon in custom icon menu, default map color in custom colors menu etc ... </li>

reload settings : what is it for ?</li>

select webmap of menu « open » from my map submenu : is it possible to better visualize the default webmap by colorize the cell ( in the same logic than on the list when an item is selected ) </li>

tag mode  is it possible that users can re-organize their tags by colors. i.e: group them by colors ? </li>

tag mode color on rollover: bg color should have a transparency  see graphic charter ! set the alpha layer value to 70 instead of 255 </li>

tag mode: colors: sometimes we loose our colors ? it stays unstable </li>

user nickname : Do users really need to change their nickname ? we have had decided previously to keep the email as a basic identity - </li>

zoom in zoom out right click menu :: should be available only outside the matrix otherwise it is confusing with other right click menu depending on expansion, delete, rename and change colors ..</li>

</ol>

filter and search

<ol>

why when we filter the result take into account all url and why when we search it takes into account only domain URL ...is it logical ?</li>

when filter some URL in the map to make quick search, why does it erase the previous modifications (i.e delete some url, or tag some others ... ?</li>

 when filter and then save the operation, what is saved ?: the filtered results or the entire map ?</li>

</ol>

applet toolbar

<ol> do we have a refresh button that allow to reload the webmap ... if we want to recover the opened state ?</li>

 refresh seems to only refresh the zoom ? what else could be refreshed ?</li> </ol>

Registration check

is it done ? First login: change the contact mail address for instance use the buzzaar.net domain and an official mail address such as: buzzaar@buzzaar.net or webmap"buzzaar.net !!! it is important to have a official mail address instead of duc, otherwise people won't understand and could become suspicious !

<ol>  check email confirmation message ! has to be simplified see message nbr 5  !</li>

<li> when confirm login process, something has to be changed in the plugin toolbar menu see buzzaar toolbar nbr 3 </li> </ol>

user toolbar

<ol>

<li> user container height is not stable: when node on focus, changes the height of the user bar .. need to be fixed </li>

<li> reduce space between mode (domain or tag) and expanded (domain or tag) and increase space between expanded (domain or tag) and bg color chooser.

<li>when merging: what second icon should be displayed? a. the default user icon ? (same as for projecting) or none because it is one single map of merged results for the given user ?</li>

</ol>

user profile

HISTORY FILE Globally the tagging process in this file should be simplified <ul> <li> edit colomn''' has to be removed</li> <li> click on enter key would validate the choice, instead of scrolling down to save the choice</li> <li>tag colomn click on the tag cell would edit the tag (choose a tag or remove previous one & living blank field means clearing the tag</li>

<li>can you add the color choice function''' directly from this file if users want to permanently choose different colors for their tags?</li>

<li>Can you put a select all button in order to select ALL the files for one given page  -- if we want to delete all the files of the page, it is possible. </li> <li> We still need "search by tags"</li> <li>when we delete some URL: is it possible to stay in the same page instead of being switch back to the first one ?</li> </ul>

popup messages & system messages

Popup messages should be redefined for each action .. are they system messages or applet messages need to be fixed

First: we have to know: if we write in english then we have to have english text in the buttons:i.e cancel instead of annuler, ok, no, yes, etc

when we provide users with french language, we will need to translate the whole messages, menu, etc ...

second: the place of the button, is it not more relevant to put the ok, or yes or save btm at the bottom right of the window ?

DONE
when login before common webmap has been updated,the applet is freezing ? no data, blank page, no possibility to reload. it means that we always have to wait untill the common webmap is full uploaded before login ?

shortcut from toolbar button Webmap should redirect directly to the login page

exit option: should be visible on the menu bar and not hidden in mymap submenu container for domain mode and domain expended: should be placed somewhere else may be at the right of the container after the bg color options --- and IN GREY color not in pink ! - (same as link info ) the white border should be erased, we need to keep only the thin border we had before !

warning message at first login, if users have not downloaded the buzzaarbar plugin see below popup & system messages nbr 4</li>

when logout at first time if no maps have been saved they should be asked to set their current as default see the pop up window proposal nbr 3

BUG when login: only a blank page and no access to the menu, no possibility to do anything, neither open a new map. users have to go to the settings to the behaviour at login:to activate last opened map and then they can select a map, and click if they want to use it by default, then go back to the settings to activate default map to set their preference. we need it to be fixed: at first login: blank page with access to the menu and new map or open a map ( if no map have been created i.e it create a new one)

tag from the list ''two options : tag current map tag permanently -- if we keep that option !!!

on the list is it possible to sort tags by alphabetical order ?

when open the default map, updated with new data, CUSTOMISATION FOR TAGS COLORS is not fixed

in the setting menu: add a new table: login settings:title'''what buzzaar should do when login? '''

<li>load the last opened map(the last map i have opened before my last logout) </li> <li>load a blank page and let me choose what map i want to open </li> <li>load my last saved map (the last map i saved before my last logout) </li> <li>load my default map, updated with my new data (default settings) </li> </ul> deadline: 06.11.10 domain URL: we should be able to delete directly one domain if we want to can you do it ? from the map as well as from the list actualy clicking on the domain on list does nothing and on the map it opens it only right click menu should give an alternative choice: weither to open or to delete.

According to point n01 add a popup window that alert users they will erase their data when they save their modifications with a button that give the possibility to disable this warning

deadline: 15.11.10 when tagging: it should be possible to reach already existing tags by keyboards letters & tags should be ordered by alphabetical order  -- so that it is easier to choose one already existing tag or to scroll down in the list of tags when there are many ! BTW: it is the common behaviour in the history file ! 1 bg color on the list part: should be turn to white colors BUG when renaming tags, colors are set to default again !

2.save function: BUG: save the map in fact copy a new version of the current

delete a node should be able on the list as well

projected nodes on focus have different colors and border --colortheme  color-theme

add a save btn in the toolbar container of the map

zoom function: ctrl + et - does not zoom in / out

table is not fixed and sometime cells are bigger in width than the browser window

we need to sort contents by date, or by name or by last visit if we want to

we also need to have a search box to filter what kind of URL we want to reach

settings buzzaar toolbar:

Instead of of OPTIONS - PLUGIN REGISTER with two tabs:plugin register and advanced options

<ul> <li>plugin register (with email and password)</li>

<li>advanced options:(with visit interval, session interval, activity file (must be writable) (???)</ul>

PRIVATE URL url started by http://webmail... should be banned on the private url list

color chooser the reset or restaurer btn doesn't seem to work

save function: BUG: save the map in fact copy a new version of the current file instead of erase it !

download a map:we need to change graphML as type file name to xml format in to aim of filtring files on the computer
