Browse file count highlighting small issues
« on: March 04, 2020, 06:43:03 PM »
All item counts in the Browse tab shows a bar graph which appears to be sized based on the relative number of files in the selected category.  I am specifically looking at folders but this also pertains to other categories

1. The upper-most folder level contains ALL images in my catalog but the bar graph does not extend to the end of the box containing the file count as I would expect.  What is this graph based on?  All files in the catalog or all files in the category?  I would like it to be based on all files in the category.

2. When selecting a folder the file count box gets inverted which means the bar graph also get inverted.  I would suggest you stop the highlighting before the count box so that it does not get inverted.

Happy to go with whatever works best for you but I think this needs a little cleaning up  :)

Keith,

Both of those issues look like bugs to us.  We'll see what we can do to correct them.

Just been looking at this in detail in Build 4456 on Windows 10 64.

I have the following observations.  Please refer to the screenshot and the numbers I have annotated on the image.

1 & 2: These are correct as expected.
3: If the graph is a representation of 26 / 511 then it is too long.
4: This appears correct as the graph is slightly shorter than 511 from its parent.
5: Should the graph represent 9 / 453 or 9 / 511.  Either way the graph is too short.  I would suggest it should be 9 / 453 (a fraction of its parent).
6: This should be 6 / 511 (a fraction of its parent).

7: Should the top level of every category have a total?  If this is the top level then the graph should be the full length.
8: This appears correct if it is a fraction of its parent = 90.
9: This appears correct if it is 421 / 511

10: Highlighted item inverts the graph.

Some interesting decision to be made and I hope this helps.

By default log 10 scaling is used for the bars, if you don't wont that, you can change this in the Catalog Preferences.

4: This appears correct as the graph is slightly shorter than 511 from its parent.
5: Should the graph represent 9 / 453 or 9 / 511.  Either way the graph is too short.  I would suggest it should be 9 / 453 (a fraction of its parent).
6: This should be 6 / 511 (a fraction of its parent).

See 3.

7: Should the top level of every category have a total?  If this is the top level then the graph should be the full length.
8: This appears correct if it is a fraction of its parent = 90.
9: This appears correct if it is 421 / 511

I think it would indeed be nice if each top level category has a (catalog) total, but this would be a feature request.

10: Highlighted item inverts the graph.

I actually think that is a good idea since otherwise the bar would be hardly visible.

Cheers,
Hayo

I was not aware of this, thanks  :)
