Analysis

Overview

Resource manipulation is set of features that allow various operations with resources. Some of these include

• Import resources
• Copy resources
• Delete resources
• Edit resources - this is available for some resources
• Export resources
• Meta manipulation

The interactions will be the following

• Drag and drop (not part of this revision)
  • Dragging file from the OS to the resources palette inserts the file as a resource
  • Dragging file from the OS to a work area inserts the resource into the resources palette AND the work area.
  • Dragging resource from the resources palette exports the resource as a file
• Buttons
  • Following buttons are available when a list item is selected or not
    • Import button allows importing of a resource by envoking file dialog
  • Following buttons are available only when a list item is selected
    • Export button allows exporting of a resource by envoking file dialog
    • Edit button allows out-of-frame editing of a resource with appropriate plugin. Note that for 2.0 we plan only text editing that way, but there should be a way to know exactly what resource types are editable
    • Duplicate button creates a copy of a selected resource
    • Delete button deletes the selected resource. A dialog with a warning will be useful if the resource is used by frames as content.
• Editable fields in the metapalette of the resource tab - for the resources that the user has writing permission the meta palette should allow editing of the writeable fields (comments, etc)

Task requirements

• For this revision you should
  • Ensure only the first level of resources is displayed (e.g without subresources as embeded books' resources)
  • Ensure the other levels' resources can be easily implemented in future revisions of this task - if we decide to implement tree view for advanced users
• Implement the delete resource and duplicate resource functionalities
  • Delete resource should delete resource and it's children.
  • If the resource is content of a frame for example, the user should be warned. After deletion, this frames become empty (no content).
  • Duplicate resource should duplicate resource and it's children. If a resource is a page element, it's duplicated with an offset on the same page. If the resource is page, it is inserted after the source page.
• Implement Import functionality (link it with the Import button). Note that Import should insert the resource into the book, not only into resources palette.
  • Import should allow import of any kind of resources (optional for this revision)
• Implement the duplicate functionality
  • Duplicate should copy all the data from the resource.
• Make the delete and copy buttons active (clickable) only when a resource is selected
• The import button should always be active
• Implement the editing feature for the meta palette
  • For the editable properties the field should allow text editing. See which fields are editable in the Overview section

Steps

• Import a resource using the Import button from the palette (optional)
