Web UI: improve space efficiency of visit list
Closed, MigratedEdits Locked

Description

Let's take the visit browser.

The lower part is a visit list rendered as a table with 3 columns: date, status, directory link. Only the 3rd column is hyperlinked.

Proposal:

  • reduce to a single column showing the timestamp
  • the timestamp will be linked to the tree (if people want a link they can always "right click > copy link")
  • the status is a boolean (fool/partial), so it can be showed by some text or font property. As color coding this could be green (for full) / yellow (for partial) coloring. But as color coding only is bad, we can add some textual checkmarks, like a pre/postfix unicode warning sign in case of partial visit
  • given we're now down to a single column, it can also be reflown vertically to multiple columns, or organized per year, … or whatever
