Vorschlag zu Autofill - [GERMAN ]Autofill proposal

[wolboe]

In meinen Autofill-Vorlagen unterscheiden sich die einzelnen Werte-Zeilen oft nur geringfügig - deshalb folgender Vorschlag:

Ich würde gern In den einzelnen Wertezeilen einer Autofill-Vorlage  kurze Informationen anbringen, die NICHT in das Tag-Feld übernommen werden sollen. Das könnten u. a. Erläuterungen zum Inhalt besonders bei längeren Zeilen sein,  um Unterschiede schneller zu erkennen (In Analogie zu Spalten- und Zeilentiteln in einer Tabelle). So könnten sich zwei nahezu identische Zeilen nur dadurch unterscheiden, daß in einer Zeile nur Code, Land, Province.... usw. eingetragen werden, in der nächsten zusätzlich auch noch GPS-Werte definierter Orte.

Ist ein Vorschlag, Aufwand der Realisierung kann ich nicht einschätzen.

In my autofill templates, the individual value lines often differ only slightly - hence the following suggestion:

I would like to add short information to the individual value lines of an autofill template that should NOT be transferred to the tag field. This could include explanations of the content, especially for longer rows, in order to recognise differences more quickly (analogous to column and row titles in a table). For example, two almost identical lines could only differ in that in one line only code, country, province.... etc. are entered in one line, and the GPS values of defined locations in the next.

This is a suggestion, I cannot estimate the effort involved in realising it.

So etwas wie eine Kommentarspalte?

Like a comment column?

Genau! - Exactly!

Since this gathered a number of likes quickly and it makes sense to me, I toyed around with it for a bit today.
It's not to hard or time-consuming to implement I guess. Extend objetct model to store a comment per row, IMWS endpoint enhancement, a new first column in the AutoFill editor, showing an extra column in the AutoFill selector dialog when there is at least one comment, enhancing the search to also include comments. Making mew screen shots for the help system and add text to explain the comment etc. Maybe a workday or two?

For example:

Hallo/Hello  Mario,
freue mich, dass sich weitere Interessenten gefunden haben, Du diesen Vorschlag aufgreifst und offensichtlich gute Chancen zur Realisierung bestehen.

I am pleased that other interested parties have been found, that you have taken up this suggestion and that there is obviously a good chance of realising it.

I have implemented this useful addition. In the AutoFill editor it looks like in my last screen shot above, and in the AutoFill template selector dialog, it looks like this:

I decided to use a contrast color for the comments. Good or bad?
If a template has no comments at all, the Comment column is hidden automatically.

Das sieht sehr gut aus!
- Was spricht gegen eine (die gleiche?) Kontrastfarbe im Editor?

This looks very good!
- what is the case against a (the same?) contrasting colour in the editor?

[Mario]

Dark blue is not really visible when the background is dark gray. Which is why I always use the orange color for contrast, in all apps (the AutoFill editor is an app).

Orange does not really have a good contrast with a white window background, which is why I use blue in this case.
I could also just use a lighter shade of gray to highlight the comment in that window, but that does not play well with high-contrast themes or other colors used when assistive technologies are enabled in Windows.

[wolboe]

Convinced,
if the comment in the editor also appears in orange - ok.
In the screenshot above only the word "comment" is in orange.

[Mario]

That's because the comment field has the input focus. The comments are shown in orange when not focused.

Bin begeistert!
