<ul></ul><p>I'm assuming that we are talking about the tree browser on the left<br />hand side here.</p>
<p>What Ptolemy has now<br />is<br /> Utilities<br /> Directories<br /> SDF Director<br /> CT Director<br /> Actors<br /> MoreLibraries</p>
<p>Edward discussed this at group lunch and pointed out that if we <br />edited $PTII/ptolemy/configs/basicDirectors.xml and change the name<br />"SDF Director" to "SDF", then when the user drags the SDF icon into<br />a graph viewer the green box is labeled "SDF". We would rather<br />the green box be labeled "SDF Director".</p>
<p>I see the point of having the tree widget on the left avoid redundancy,<br />but I prefer having the green box have the complete name.</p>
<p>Perhaps one way to implement this would be to add a shortName parameter<br />that would be used in the tree widget if it was present?</p>

<ul></ul><p>I can understand the concern of the lableing issue of the director when it is <br />on the canvas -- however, if the director has a distinct icon (which I'm <br />proposing) then that will serve the purpose of the user recognizing the <br />director. Additionally, the director is a bit bigger and a different color <br />scheme, and normally located at top of the workflow and disconnected. So <br />there are many indicators that something is a director. On top of that there <br />are only a very small number of directors, and users will learn those <br />identifiers such as SDF, CT etc.</p>
<p>Removing unnecessary words is my professional recommendation. However, if <br />some feel strongly that they want to maintain the word director in the <br />director label, then the idea of just using "SDF," "CT" labels in the tree but <br />using "SDF Director," "CT Director" as labels for the directors on the canvas <br />would be a good compromise.</p> Kepler - Bug #2023: remove redundant labeling in treehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/2023?journal_id=69272008-10-29T00:49:50ZAaron Aaronaschultz@nceas.ucsb.edu
