braincow / flubber Goto Github PK

When starting Flubber and Watson has no existing entries in its store we should show user an welcome message on the main screen instead of the Gtk.TreeView. This could be centered Gtk.Label with links in appropriate words of the message that either trigger new project tracking or add dialog.

Instead of defining UI purely in code use Glade to design them and construct them in code from Glade XML files.

• Main window
• Add dialog
• Edit dialog
• Start dialog

When adding/editing an issue start/end dates are validated somehow incorrectly. For example when adding a frame:

1. enter start date, it says it cannot be mapped to any validation even if it is correct
2. enter end date,
3. return to edit start date and it validates

Currently in main window in the Gtk.TreeView columns go too wide at times. For example the edit checkbox column is way too wide and thus other information on the screen does not look very appealing.

Rewrite and fix setup.py, MANIFEST.in, setup.cfg and other relevant files to provide proper installation / release mechanism for Flubber.

This needs to be in place for first beta release to happen.

Currently grid layout in add, edit and start dialogs is buggy leading into funky look. Functionality is there, but it should (and must) look better.

Add track/stop callbacks to application menu too and not just to the main interface window.

Add and edit dialogs contain datetime fields currently implemented with Gtk.Entry and validated through "changed" signal. User however is not notified about incorrect input in any way.

Two options to implement this exist as far I can see:

1. User is notified via some mechanism about the incorrect syntax in the text fields or
2. user is only allowed to enter dates and times into the field. Is there a GTK+ widget for this? Write one?

Code does not properly update notification object and once the popup has been shown the contents never change to indicate Watson status (aka how long a project has been running, same as in the Flubber header bar)
