Add more links to the link bar of the inspector #5706
Comments
I don't want to add a lot of stuff to the top link bar. I still want to keep the sidebar mostly like Simple / easy to use / universally understandable I'm ok with adding link bars to the other sections though.. e.g. download all relations can go down near the relation parts. |
We need to differentiate two different types of usecases for downloading of relation members.
Maybe we can avoid single operand operations which need a complete download of the selected relation. In this case a download link to support usecase 2 could be placed in the multi-selection view. How about placing a link bar below the list of selected items there? It might be useful for other things too. |
If #5180 were implemented (a background worker queue), we could probably just fully download and parse reasonable relations using a web worker and the user would not even need to be bothered by this. |
For iD v3 I converted the "Zoom to this" link to a toolbar item. Most of the items in @slhh's original list could possibly be toolbar items as well. In any case, I don't really see us adding these links as described. |
iD has recently got a linkbar in the inspector (#5169 (comment)).
In addition to the zoom, the following links or icons could be useful there:
To prevent cluttering the UI, links should be hidden, when they are inapplicable. Most links are applicable in relatively rare cases only. They would be shown just when they are likely required.
Typical workflows of a Newbie would unlikely led to activation of links 3. to 7., and activated links would get hidden again quite soon.
