Description Markus Elfring 2011-09-29 14:45:40 UTC 
Some data structures are directly accessed by the graphical user interface. I find this design approach too tightly coupled because it limits the application extensibility to some degree.

I propose to reuse the software architecture "Model-View-Controller".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller

This design pattern supports the creation of multiple views from a single document/model. I imagine that it can make the development of some partition editing extensions easier.

Would you like to reuse a framework like Bakery?

How do you think about to move a data structure like "treeview_filesystems_Columns" or "treeview_detail_Columns" to separate source files?

(In reply to Curtis Gedak from comment #2)

I am curious if any other software developers or system administrators will care more for a better software design.
