Bugzilla:UI Hackathon
This page is our scratchpad for the current UI Hackathon. Today's hackathon focuses on the usability of the attachments UI. We're meeting on irc.mozilla.org in the #hackathon channel ( Channel Log).
Ideas/patches we're considering:
- auto-convert uncompressed BMP to compressed PNG status: ghendricks' patch reviewed and approved; awaiting checkin
- make this comment an attachment status: timello has broken this up into two separate chunks: moving attachment creation code to Attachment.pm, and adding the UI and functionality into show_bug.cgi
- optimize UI for viewing attachments
- redesign edit attachments screen
- fix loss of "edit as comment" comments when going back to "edit attachment" page (new version of firefox won't have this problem, but other browsers still will; perhaps just submit the page back to the server for "edit as comment"?)
- autodetect attachment type by default status: ghendricks taking
- inline image attachments
- include attachment data in "export bug" XML output status: ghendricks taking
- submit an attachment while entering a bug
- make attachment creation work when choosing reviewer on intermediate screen
- simplify setting a content type by doing it automatically (including setting the patch flag)
- let users attach multiple URLs/references to a bug when that makes more sense than attaching the file
