Removed functions in 2.1.0

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I've just realised that all the single click functions have been completely removed. While I appreciate the option to offer also a menu, I would appreciate single clicks still available, so the user can decide what he prefers.
Personally, I don't see the need to use a menu when it has not more than 2 entries. That's exactly what I would solve with left and right clicks. It's probably a question of working method, how you choose left and right clicks. But in our sector file, we are extensively working with both clicks and I would like to continue this also when implementing this plugin. Is it possible to bring the previous functions back?
For your reference, this is the setting I've started to use for tests:

Since the creation of this Plugin, there's a lot of people who find difficult to use it.
Firstly I though it was due to the CDM concept such as TOBT, TSAT, etc. But after trying to make it as clear as possible. I realised that the problem was on the compexity on using the plugin itself by the amount of clicks and commands.

This is the first step, to pass clicks to dialogs. And I would prefere not to go back to right/left clicks.
The second still in the TODO List is to create such a Window to manage all the Options.

For sure, users (controllers) will find it much more usefull. At least it is what I found :)

I disagree. "Normal" controllers usually won't read the information here on the github page. They need proper introduction and guidance into entire concept of CDM and then the implementation of the plugin and workflows how to use it correctly. This is not necessarily the task of the documentation here (only), but also of the organisations driving local implementation.

During tests, we didn't really identify the clicks to be an issue. Of course, you need to know which click is doing what. But this is assured with a 1 page overview and will be intuitive after some hours of using it. This is why I included the screenshot before, we use left click in general to edit, and right click for any special function. That's quite simple.

But now I see the number of required clicks growing again, I'll have to think about a separate fork to mitigate that issue again.

No problem, I will add the clicks functions again :)
