Description Tomasz Zarna CLA 2010-01-26 10:54:37 EST 
HEAD

Table showing path variables for a resource has 3 columns: Name, Value and Resolved Value. Given the fact that values are rather long the third column is hardly visible. My suggestion is to remove the third column and add a switch to resolve variables in the second column.

I'll put up a mockup in a minute...

Mockup

This is how I see it. What do you think? Makes any sense?

This makes sense especially for long paths. What do you think Serge?
Comment 3 Serge Beauchamp CLA 2010-01-26 11:23:56 EST 
Personally, I'd like to show the resolve value in a tooltip instead, what do you think?

Also a change I'd like to make is when the user double-clicks on a row, it behaves like clicking on 'Edit...'

You could use the tooltip and the switch at the same time ;)

Sounds good to me.

New cleaned up UI with tooltip support.

Here is a refactored UI, where it only shows the value, but displays the resolved value as a tooltip in the second column.
