Workspace Sorting & Controls
The manual docking of workspaces was the focus for the last post, and that task was completed. However I also discovered a different issue that I hadn't considered relating to the clash between quick docking (double click) and manual docking (drag and drop) methods for users. Managing workspace docking will continue to use the double click method.
The next focus for my work will be the management of workspaces once they're docked, including the sorting of these within the same dock or one of the others (different code and events will be needed for each, although I think they can both be triggered by the same initial action). I have also been updating the code for managing all open workspaces as I proceed. And so this too has been progressing, but will need some additional code later to get all of the data from opened workspaces managed correctly.
When it comes to data management, there will also need to be multiple paths to this because some data operations will be locally hosted on independent devices as well as (in some cases) on centralised but local systems, in addition to online data exchange or data transfer over wireless networks to other devices in the vicinity.
And yes, this all sounds like too much brain-fart to me too 🙂
Stay awesome,
