GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 349349
Bookmarks search entry width
Last modified: 2006-10-15 14:03:45 UTC
The bookmark search entry matches both topic and bookmark names, but the UI implies only the bookmarks are searched through. The UI should be updated to reflect what the application does. I'll attach two screenshots.
Created attachment 69928 [details] Small search bar (current status) This is how it looks now.
Created attachment 69929 [details] Large search bar (proposal) This is how it should look to reflect what the application really does.
Maybe it could be on the bottom, to maintain consistency with the browser find bar?
In that case it should be hidden by default and only popup on ctrl-f. I think that's not the right way to go, since the search/filter is one of the most common ways to quickly find a bookmark. In my opinion the entry is more like a location bar than a search bar, despite it's name ;)
The search function in the bookmarks window is much more prominent than it is in the browser window. Therefore it makes no sense to hide it by default. On second thought, the search field on top is not so bad, because we want to encourage users to use it. I'd like to hear mpt's opinion on this though.
chpe, any chance to get this tiny "ui freeze breakage" in for 2.16?
Not without a patch :)
Created attachment 70925 [details] [review] Makes the bme look like the proposed mockup Just changes a line for the magic to happen.
Confirming this works as proposed. chpe, mind if I commit?
To HEAD only.
