[pve-devel] [PATCH widget-toolkit, manager v3 0/3] ui: tasks: add button to

[Aaron Lauterer]

Especially in the task-log at the bottom in PVE, users might not realize
that they can open the task log with a double-click. By adding an action
column with a button, this should be easier to discover.

While we are at it, let's have it in the task view panel as well. Here
it can help save clicks for non-double-click users as they don't have to
select and then go to the "view" button.

The tooltip is "View Task". This should leave no ambiguity in that it is
a read-only operation. One patch aligns the button at the top of the
task panel.

Using the "chevron-right" icon was initially done to align with how we
do that in the pbs UI. Especially in the task panel, I stuck with it, as
a test with the "window-open" icon, that is used in the button at the
top, resulted in quite the visual noise IMHO.

Regarding the placement in the grids after a discussion with Dominik:
putting the action column as first column reduces mouse travel, but is a
rather uncommon placement. It would either be seen just as the icon, or
an option to expand/collapse that row.

It is more common, and thus the user expectaion, to have these buttons
rather at the end of the row.

This is why I send the patches with the action columns as the last in
the grid. It is not the only option, one can of course double click
anywhere on the row too.
