Move the tool bar to the left in combination with an expandable area

Opened this issue · 1 comments

In order to be able to simplify the user interface it would be great to move the tools from the left bottom to the left, similar the new Wike interface.

Provide more painting like tools

  • select
  • paint
  • erasure

for modifying the map.

(other tools are not described in this ticket)

This gives the possibility

  • to make it work on smaller screen sizes
  • to unclutter the screen if needed
  • better extensibility for future tools

This will provide two modes: an expanded and one collapsed mode.

If this button is selected the window switches to expanded mode:

Collapsed mode

If a tool gets selected, the corresponding frame with additional information is displayed.

For painting:

  • painting tool gets selected
  • elements and their search gets displayed (overlapping the rest of the window)
    image
  • when an elements gets selected, the area collapses again the user can place the elements
  • to select an other one, click the painting tool again

Expanded mode

The area is always displayed (not overlapping) and widens therefore the window

As long the user is using the modifying tools, the items are displayed.

Other tools

It would be great to have next to the painting tool (which puts selected items on the canvas) also

  • a selector and an erasure

Selector

select single Entries or multiple Entries to

  • move (Drag and Drop)
  • delete or
  • edit

Delete

If selecting and then deleting is not obvious enough, one could also add an erasure too, to delete

  • one
  • many (drag and drop)
    elements

@tchx84 btw Woke is also implemented in Python: https://github.com/hugolabe/Wike/tree/master/src
Maybe it's a good place to copy paste
