The beginnings of integration.
July 1st, 2003, by Rich.
The List and Explorer views are now working insofar as they can be created and display some content. Double clicking on an entry in the Resource List makes that entry the head node in the Explorer - this mechanism, when combined with filters in the Resource List makes it easy to find the node you want… to a point. another view that would be good - or an interesting twist at least, would be a simple search view. the problem here is that the boundaries between all the views are getting blurred. The list will probably have filters, the explorer too, the Digger will be search based…
Perhaps some concept of bookmarks would be good - Perhaps the digger could provide this since it’s nodes will be the most generic.
Anyhow, the image below is of the plugin as it ran this afternoon showing the default content in the List the initial content in the Explorer was /people/rich however, double-clicking on (activating) hong’s entry in the list defocused the explorer on the hong resource. The properties view shows the content of /rich which was selected in the Explorer view.
Note that “?>” in the properties is a flag to show that this name wasn’t looked up successfully - I need to look at decorators to understand how to best represent such things dynamically.
