Description Milan Kubec 2004-05-19 08:46:06 UTC 
[dev-200405182245]
Categories in New Project dialog are shown in tree
for no aparent reason. Nodes will not have a
content so there should be list. UI Spec shows
only list.
Comment 1 Petr Hrebejk 2004-05-19 09:07:02 UTC 
It should be tree. Trust me (or rather Tomas Zezula who implemented that)
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2004-05-19 09:20:05 UTC 
And the reason for having tree for something that doesn't have any
content underneat it? Just curious.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2004-05-19 13:35:43 UTC 
I agree with Milan, 
it seems like you can choose something from subtree of category node,
but there is nothing....

Jano is it defined this way in some UI spec?
Comment 4 jrojcek 2004-05-19 13:46:47 UTC 
It should be a tree. Each category can potentionally contain subcategories. But, there are a 
few problems with the current implementation:

* there should be no turner widget visible if a category doesn't contain subcategories
* only the selected item should have the "open folder" icon; other categories should have 
"closed folder" icon
Comment 5 Petr Hrebejk 2004-05-19 16:12:59 UTC 
Looks like the resolution is: we have fix the tree. OpenOnly on
selected is probably hard to implement. Let's ignore for now. No thubs
on empty categories is probably necessary.
Tomas is working on that.
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2004-05-19 18:34:06 UTC 
Can't we just simplify this and show a list and ask people not to use
subcategories?? I don't see any compelling reason for subcategories;
Jano do you have any use cases in mind?

Comment 8 jrojcek 2004-05-20 17:30:14 UTC 
I am not sure if it is a compeling reason, but ME team (and maybe Web team) wants to put 
Sample projects into a special subcategory underneath the Mobile category. IMO, putting 
samples into New Project wizard is not the right solution, but easy to do.
