[Stellarium-pubdevel] Brin storming: things to fix/improve in the GUI

[Fabien C. <fab...@go...>]

Hey all,
after I saw Bogdan's remark about the top left corner getting full
when an object is selected, I tried to make a list of things we'd like
to improve in the GUI, and I came so far to this:
 - Change the selected object info in top left corner: it's currently
unclear, I suspect that most of our users don't understand most of the
displayed numbers, and there is no explanation about them. Also it
would be good to be able to display more stuff there, maybe link on
wikipedia etc..
 - Find a way to add more buttons in the bottom bar. When all plugins
are loaded it's crowded, also there are features like grids for each
reference frames which should/could be grouped. I was thinking maybe
to open sub-menus when right/long clicking on some buttons.
 - Better way to control time. The only good way so far is to use the
keys, we could maybe improve that, somehow by clicking/dragging on the
time in the bottom bar (?)
 - Support right to left languages properly.
 - And of course fix the f**** font display bugs.....

other things?

I may get fundings in the next months from Nokia to work on a
demonstration QML-based GUI, so it could be the good time to
experiment new things!
