Armory's startup time is lower than I can ever remember it being before.
Yep, truly impressive, even when loading a supernode from an HDD.I noticed this little symbol in the lower left corner of the transaction window. When I hover over it, it expands and tells me where I am in the list. Is this meant to be just a debug thing that should be taken out before final release of 0.93?
Heh, we've been debating this widget forever. I'm not a big fan of its placement, but it is intended to be a permanent fixture. The idea is that for huge wallet histories, you can use that widget to go to any point in the history (we've been testing with 1VayNert and it definitely helps get through the 10,000 pages of tx history). You can click on the block or time to manually type/select where you want to go. Or just click "Top".
Glad to hear the positive feedback about the changes. We knew this was going to be a rough testing round given how much has changed under the hood, but it does appear to be wrapping up nicely, and I think 0.93 really is a huge step forward for Armory, especially as an option for exchanges and webservices that need a strong API to the network.
Okay, a contest. Extra 2 bounties for the winner!
Wtf do we do with the paging control widget? Since writing the above message, we have spent even more time debating this. The problem stems from the fact that
- If it's placed on the tableview itself, it obstructs things (or at least, it annoys me), and the user may not want/need it
- If it's placed outside the tableview, then the dialog must have extra space to put it. Not a problem for the main window, but it will need to be placed for the wallet address ledger and the lockbox ledger. Both those dialogs are short on space.
Obviously we want it to be available for those that need it, and it shouldn't be a easter-egg... it should be easily accessible for users that want it (i.e. we don't want to have a feature then get emails asking for us to implement it because they don't realize it's there).
One option is to leave it where it is, but add a setting to allow the user to disable/hide it. That's probably the easiest to implement, and not a bad choice. I'll give an extra two bounties to whoever provides and idea that we like enough to implement. If you have a transaction history of 1,000,000 rows, spanning multiple years, how would you like to navigate that history? And if you switch the filter to a wallet that has only one page of history, what happens to that control? Should it be hidden, moved, or left where it is? Should it be totally user configurable.
Ideally, whatever it is can be non-intrusive enough to have visible all the time and not inconvenience users that have small transaction histories and/or don't need the fancy controls.
