Hey,
after a bit of brainstorming with a friend Jure we came up with
another mockup that might facilitate partial backup in a better manner:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1493539/past-rest-mockup.pdf
By adding files to a special list that would be communicated to a user
at all times, users could restore files from different time points at
the same time, which would be impossible by my first mockup since user
would have to run assistant several times to achieve this (and also
for files from different directory). This mockup also better addresses
the issue of user not knowing where in the assistant he is - although
I would still add progress bar with superimposed text regarding next
step to even better communicate to user where in the process he is and
how many steps still await him.
Not included in the backup is a small "x" or "delete" button from the
table below which would allow user to delete a file that was added by
mistake.
After a bit of discussion with GTK guys it is apparent that although
widget is being developed it is still quite far from being developed
to acceptable level. I may give a helping hand in it's development
later, but will, for the time being, just use treeview for browsing
file structure and iconview for showing current directory. If he/we
develop the breadcrumbs later, I might switch to that when the time
comes.
Comments? Ideas? Suggestions? :)
Regards,
Urban
