Make task description more available (tool tip?)
« on: August 18, 2010, 04:07:11 pm »
Right now the task description it takes 2 clicks to get to. That seems strange to me and I possibly won't use the field for this reason.

How about making the task description display as a tool tip when you mouse over the task?

The task description is to help a person see the details of a task they see in the list.

2 clicks away is too much IMO.

I agree with you that two clicks away is too much ... A better solution would be to load file description via AJAX and allow editing when the task is being edited. Don't you think?

I don't understand what you mean by load via AJAX - is that how the task details are loaded from the db into the main window currently? If so then yes that would be great. That's just one click viewing along with the other task stuff.

(One reason why I mentioned a tooltip is that the descripton field, among all other fields is one where you want to just view from time to time, and not edit.)

Yes, I meant available similar to the other info.

We'll evaluate the options and see.
