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

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.

Info / Playback / Take notes toolbar

  • We need a better icon.
  • Can we save to the Journal every metadata change (on exit of inputs) or we must add a button to accept the changes?
