Re: [phpesp-dev] GUI 4

[Kon A. <ang...@ip...>]

Gday all,

Just a few quick thoughts.
1/ I recall a post to this list a while back where someone had raised the use 
of frames. I do not use frames for my designs! There are quite a few good 
reasons for this, some of which have been explained.

2/ Creative Minds aka Rebirth aka ......., as a follow up to one of James' 
posts "join project/more suggestions" I also have a full time job which sees 
me behind my desk 12 hours a day. This might help explain why there hasn't 
been any activity in the last 12 days.....

3/ I've replied to each of the following feature requests you've made (573852, 
573854, 573862,573863,573866) but I'm still waiting on your replies to them so 
that their evaluation can proceed. - could you please help out by visiting 
the feature requests section of the phpESP project and follow up.

4/ I like your idea of using images for buttons (feature request: 577886) and 
will be implementing them in the new design.

5/ As for the new GUI. I've got 7 days off as from the 15th of this month so I 
will be devoting a lot of time to finishing the new GUI and incorporating as 
many feature requests as possible. So its very important that if you've 
submitted feature requests please revist them and reply to any further 
comments posted.

6/ Finally, the idea of a tree.
I appreciate the thought that in the future we may add more security
levels. It certainly has been something I've been thinking about as well and 
if there were more hours in a day I probably would have coded something by 
now but I'm not totally convinced that a tree structure is the most 
appropriate navigation tool. If I don't run out of time during my days off 
I'll create a tree and an alternative approach and we can vote on it.
