Hello Could you test the |
I will make the version of this branch available for the user who had the idea for this feature and ask him for feedback as well. |
Thanks!
Yes, this is true. I am still a bit unsure though. I think that if we add too many widgets we will loose data content and confuse the new users. I need to think and use it.
It's actually on purpose. What you mention here are
Mrmlml not such a fan of letting it open. Maybe we could make this configurable?
Yes. |
I see your point. I would still vote for it, since it helps also new users.
I see. How can actions from plugins be added? |
I realize that I collect actions only from one |
Yes. Maybe this is an option. A checkbox in the command finder dialog "keep open". It could be off by default.
Sounds good. |
Can you test again?
|
|
Yes.
I still have difficulties with this. E.g. I was looking in the command finder for some actions from the Trees Management, but can't see them: In the Preferences dialog, I can see them however: Is there something that needs to be adapted on the side of the plugins?
Works nicely!
Works nicely!
Works nicely. |
I think you need to run the command finder on the window that can accept the commands to see them. |
Yes, I can confirm that it works exactly like this. Thanks for the explanation |
Hi JY and Stefan! I tested the latest version of the command finder, which I find extremely useful (I am the user who asked for it 😅 inspired by Fiji's quick search bar). I couldn't find any issues and was already happy to discover some new commands like 'select all links' that I haven't been aware of. I will keep testing it and come back here in case I notice something unexpected or if I have further suggestions. But right now I think it could stay like it is. One minor thing I agree with Stefan: It would be nice to have the option somewhere that the command finder stays open after running a command. I had a feeling Fiji's quick search bar used to behave like this, but it got changed. Right now it also closes after executing any command. Is there a specific reason why this was changed and why it should be avoided in Mastodon's command finder? Cheers |
User Story
In Fiji the, there is a search box that can be used to search and run FIJI commands.
This provides a convenient way to find and access functions for users, which does not require to search within the menus. It would be cool to have a similar mechanism also within Mastodon, since there are also a lot of functions in the core and also in the plugins, which are difficult to explore.
I could imagine three options how to provide this function:
