Ideas to discuss the UI for Record

With Simon, we defined the following ideas:

Suggestions for improvements from Tom: http://www.flatlandfarm.de/blog/?p=283
Possible UI for changing the modes (photo, audio, video) http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Garycmartin#Memorize_Toolbar_Mockups
we add an edit button to the toolbar including a copy button
we add a view button (fullscreen, show/hide mediabox)
then we add a button for each mode (photo, audio, video), every mode button has a toolbar with the properties like (duration, quality) and a button to start the recording (use the the circle to match the physical button)
we add a 'take note'/'playback' mode: plays back the media and gives an option to take notes (title, description, tags)
we only show the mediabox when we have an item (we call mediabox to the box in the bottom of the screen)
the mediabox must have a similar behavior to the bookmarks box in Browse for consistency.
we will show all the medias in one box
(sharing: sync the mediabox)
if you select an item in the mediabox we switch to the 'take note'/'playback' mode
the 'record audio' will show a preview similar to the measure one
the recording level will be adjustable in the activity

Main Toolbar

Edit Toolbar

Add consistency and is easier found the copy button.

View Toolbar

We can show/hide the mediabox or show the media in the full screen.

Toolbars for photo, video and audio modes

May be we must move the chronometer combo to the secondary toolbar.
All the media, photo, video, audio is in the same mediabox, to emphasize the idea of project.
