Brasero GUI mockup

[Matthew McGowan <matthew joseph mcgowan gmail com>]

Hi,

I hope this email makes the list. 

Have not been following discussions, but here is an idea for the Brasero 
GUI.  Its a proposal to make the file browser more compact and to 
simplify the Preview GUI while giving more feedback about media capacity.

Here is the mock-up:

Referring to the aforementioned linked mock-up:

1) The widget from Banshee and Ubiquity is very nice for displaying file 
system info.  Perhaps Brasero could use it as well.  The legend in my 
mock-up is obviously fubar.   Perhaps the legend could distinguished 
pre-existing sessions as well as free space etc.

2) Moreover, I edited the file system widget to have a medium type and 
space remaining label. 

3) The Sidepane has been made more compact by utilising a TreeView as 
seen in Nautilus.

4) I personally don't think the Preview feature is that useful, so i 
have simply used a Preview button to preview the contents of a selected 
multimedia file, a la Nero.  If the file is of an audio type then it 
would playback without any GUI change.  If the file was a video then a 
separate window would open to display the Video content (similar to 
DVDRip behavior).  IMHO, could such a feature simply use gnome-launch or 
similar to launch the file with its preferred app?


Keen to hear the lists feedback.

Matthew
