Hi Daniel; Thank you for the detailed feedback. - Re: synching on each tab switch & resultant unresponsiveness - I implemented a caching scheme for both client info and dist info. Hope this makes the program perkier. - Re: the dependency graph - FYI is it a dependency graph of the known-to-ASDF systems (often updated after installing a quicklisp release/system). I suppose one could argue that it is out of place here. Please let me know what you think. - Re: the dependency graph - I also suppose one could argue that perhaps I should have instead/additionally drawn a dependency diagram of the selected quicklisp system. I only go so far as to textually indicate which quicklisp systems are provided by the selected quicklisp release, and textually indicate which quicklisp systems depend upon the selected quicklisp system. - Re: single-box t - what is the best idiomatic way/place to do this? I also have tried to increase responsiveness by making use of incremental redisplay, but the logic is more complex (well, for somebody who is new to the presentation system), and I hope I have not introduced bugs. Thanks again! -jm On Sun, Nov 5, 2017 at 4:22 AM, Daniel Kochmański <daniel@turtleware.eu> wrote:
Hey,
cool application. My two cents:
- I don't like that it synchronizes over http on each tab switch (even if I go back to already visited tab) - some cache maybe?
- Fetching makes window unresponsive for a sec or two, maybe it is worth to consider fetching in background, so user can change his mind and switch to another tab
- I like dependency graph, I'd add some margin though
- For presentations :single-box t, so you have only one box for selection when you hover with mouse
- Having two layouts - one with inspector and the second without it would be nice
- Looking at ASD definition - mcclim-truetype is enabled by default now anyway (it is commented)
- Add dependency on #:mcclim-layouts/tab since you use it
That is what comes to my head. I like the idea and general organization of panes. Congrats :)
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi All;

Interested in (roughly decreasing order of importance to me):
- usability/usefulness - aesthetics (I am not a front end guy in any language) - compatibility with CLIM best practices and idioms (as this is my first CLIM program in decades, or should I say Dynamic Windows?) - compatibility with CL best practices and idioms (as this is my first real Common Lisp program after decades of C/C++, or should I say Zetalisp?)
Please be kind, and thanks for all your contributions to McCLIM!
