240503 - Very productive work session today. Morris fixed the "up" comand,
240504 - enabling work on subject index to continue. ref SDS 0 668K Backspace
240505 - was restored to original Medit function. ref SDS 0 NW4M Experimented
240506 - moving messages from screen line 2 (filename field) to the stats line
240507 - at the bottom of the screen. ref SDS 0 8N50 Morris changed this
240508 - design by creating a new line at the top of the screen above the
240509 - command line to display messages. ref SDS 0 U59L Discussed creating
240510 - new commands em and savm, but did not have time to implement.
240511 - ref SDS 0 JW8N Morris studied wordwrap problem to determine revisions
240512 - to Medit java code. There was not enough time to refine code for
240513 - wordwrap. ref SDS 0 1A7M Morris created a new command - clearmsg - to
240514 - solve problem of Medit command error messages displaying which are not
240515 - generally needed using SDS. Discussed suppressing command messages
240516 - for display only in debug mode, but there was not enough time for
240517 - implementation. ref SDS 0 TZ5O Discussed increasing size of scroll
240518 - bar for better ergonomics. This was deferred pending more research.
240519 - ref SDS 0 XV5O Morris created an ingenious "title" command that
240520 - appends current time to the title name for identifying multiple
240521 - applications performing coordinated work; this new unique
240522 - identification can associate support menus, initially file and counter
240523 - lists. ref SDS 0 2Z5O Morris configured Netbeans for using the
240524 - compiler on c17 in 64-bit mode. ref SDS 0 Y38J

330416 - He did the work on SDS today integrated with helping his graduate
330417 - electrical engineering students with their term projects. Listening
330418 - to his discussions indicated Morris is a very effective educator, both
330419 - inspring students to reach high, and helping them understand complex

590417 - 1. Eliminated Ovr message on Stats line to conform with
590418 - conventional practice showing Ins when Insert key is on.
590420 - ..
590421 - 2. Half white line across window between stats and bottom of Medit
590422 - file was noticed by Morris as pending issue. Did not have time
590423 - to fix it today.
590425 - ..
590426 - 3. Considered Stats line at the bottom of the screen to briefly
590427 - display Medit command errors, and SDS messages created with
590428 - errormsg command. This design aligns with popular applications
590429 - like Internet Explorer (IE) and Netscape (Mozilla) Firefox that
590430 - display temporary messages at the bottom of the screen for a
590431 - few seconds. Transitory (popup) messages provide efficient
590432 - usability of screen space and mental span of attention.
590434 - ..
590435 - Could overlay Stats line for 5 seconds with transitory message,
590436 - then re-display Stats text.
590438 - ..
590439 - Morris explained that software engineering to code a transitory
590440 - message scheme that temporarily overlays Stats line content
590441 - cannot be quickly accomplished. To assess viability, Morris
590442 - developed code that appends temporary messages to the end of
590443 - stats text, explained below. ref SDS 0 XM52
590445 - ..
590446 - Brief experience today with initial effort to append messages
590447 - to the end of stats line, indicated requirement to color the
590448 - message part of the line differently from stats content, so
590449 - they do not visually run together, causing messages to be
590450 - overlooked due to limited span of attention. Further noted
590451 - that placing messages to alert people about timely action is
590452 - less effective than putting messages at the top of the screen,
590453 - since reading normally occurs from top down. Morris noted that
590454 - software manufacturers are beginning to abandon putting
590455 - critical messages at the bottom of the screen.
590457 - ..
590458 - As a result, Morris experimented at the end of the work session
590459 - with adding a new message line at the top of the screen solely
590460 - for displaying transitory messages, explained below.
590461 - ref SDS 0 UQ5N
590463 - ..
590464 - This experiment caused color scheme to fail of black background
590465 - with white letters, adopted on 110601 0937. ref SDS G5 QW9I
590466 - Now the colors are gray with white letters which is hard to
590467 - see.
590469 - ..
590470 - Stats pending issues...

820443 - 2. In SDS records something causes the cursor to enter text on

BR0436 - 1. Command line at top of screen, with timed phase out -
BR0437 - transitory
BR0438 -
BR0439 - Morris feels that displaying error messages on the command
BR0440 - line, discussed on 110509 1047, ref SDS F7 FF6U, will
BR0441 - corrupt macro processing.
BR0443 - ..
BR0444 - 2. Stats line at bottom of screen with timed phase out -
BR0445 - transitory
BR0447 - ..
BR0448 - 3. Message line - create new program line at top of screen.
BR0450 - ..
BR0451 - Morris initially tried moving message display from screen line 2 at
BR0452 - the top of the screen, to the stats line at the bottom of the screen,
BR0453 - and in order to maintain continuing visibility of the filename on
BR0454 - screen line 2, explained above. ref SDS 0 8N50 Moving messages to the
BR0455 - bottom of the screen aligns with other applications like Internet
BR0456 - Explorer and Netscape.
BR0458 - ..
BR0459 - He appended messages to the end of stats content, rather program an
BR0460 - overlay, and phasing the message away after 5 seconds or so. He
BR0461 - indicated that programming transitory messages is a complex project.
BR0463 - ..
BR0464 - Initially, Morris used "Err" to signal the end of stats content, and
BR0465 - beginning error message text.
BR0467 - ..
BR0468 - Decided this was not a good appearance, so Morris removed "Err" from
BR0469 - the message field.
BR0471 - ..
BR0472 - Discussed making message part of stats line a different color to
BR0473 - clearly display when a message is occurring, otherwise evertying
BR0474 - blends together and inhibits alert. The problem is treating stats
BR0475 - line as two fields. Morris feels that dividing stats into two fields
BR0476 - is difficult, even though screen line 2 is divided showing a filename
BR0477 - field and an annotate field, applied with setcolor commands, reported
BR0478 - in command list file. ref OF 2 1233
BR0480 - ..
BR0481 - Another concern is ergonomics of getting critical messages at the
BR0482 - bottom of the screen is less effective than seeing messages at the top
BR0483 - of the screen, since people normally read from top down.
BR0485 - ..
BR0486 - Morris noted there is a new trend to avoid messages at the bottom of
BR0487 - the screen.
BR0489 - ..
BR0490 - After developing code to move messages from filename line at the top
BR0491 - of the screen to the stats line, at the bottom of the screen, Morris
BR0492 - tried fixing the wordwrap problem, per above. ref SDS 0 HF8G He then
BR0493 - switched and did more work on error message system.
BR0495 - ..
BR0496 - Morris implemented the 3rd option, per above. ref SDS 0 TH5W
BR0498 - ..
BR0499 - This was not discussed, since at this time discussion through
BR0500 - Elluminate collaboration system was on fixing wordwrap problem.
BR0502 - ..
BR0503 - Morris said to download a subversion update.
BR0505 - ..
BR0506 - He then drew attention to the new version having a new "message" line
BR0507 - at the top of the screen.
BR0509 - ..
BR0510 - This seems like the best solution so far.
BR0512 - ..
BR0513 - Pending issues for new message line at top of screen...
BR0514 -
BR0515 - 1. Adding another line at the top of the screen gives a visual
BR0516 - impression of a dormant line, since most people will
BR0517 - rarely, if ever, use the Command line (CMD). If the
BR0518 - Command line could display messages as well as provide a
BR0519 - command processor for the underlying Medit code, this would
BR0520 - demonstrate evident utility, rather than dormant space.
BR0521 - Morris created the extra line today, because he feels the
BR0522 - Command line cannot be used for messages, per above.
BR0523 - ref SDS 0 S74G
BR0525 - ..
BR0526 - 2. Size - need constant height same as CMD line for
BR0527 - proportional visibility.
BR0529 - ..
BR0530 - New message line in the first impelementation varies in
BR0531 - size based on displaying messages. This might work as a
BR0532 - transitory popup line, but it causes continual disruption
BR0533 - of focus, because each time the line is expanded to display
BR0534 - a message it moves the entire screen including line of
BR0535 - sight to the data entry line. When a function key is used,
BR0536 - which occurs regularly in SDS, the line shrinks to remove
BR0537 - the message. The result is the screen is constantly
BR0538 - jumping up and down.
BR0540 - ..
BR0541 - Morris seemed to indicate at the end of the session that
BR0542 - he will make the error message line a fixed size.
BR0544 - ..
BR0545 - Size should be same as command line, and other lines so
BR0546 - there is porportionality among the lines.
BR0548 - ..
BR0549 - 3. Messages transitory like other applications
BR0551 - ..
BR0552 - 4. Medit command messages should only appear when debug is
BR0553 - active, not during normal program use. Messages like...
BR0554 -
BR0555 - FR out of range
BR0556 - Up at end of file
BR0557 -
BR0558 - ...are misleading to normal use, becasue they control macro
BR0559 - processing and so are intended to occur.
BR0561 - ..
BR0562 - 5. Font too small - make controllable with new Medit "font"
BR0563 - command, reported on 090131 1300. ref SDS 32 D45G
BR0565 - ..
BR0566 - Initial effort presents a font that is much smaller than
BR0567 - any other font on the screen. It is disproportionate with
BR0568 - the height of the message line, and is much too small for
BR0569 - reading.
BR0571 - ..
BR0572 - Font has to be readable in order for messages to be
BR0573 - useful.
BR0575 - ..
BR0576 - 6. Color - would like to assign color of the field with
BR0577 - setcolor command, shown in commant list. ref OF 5 1233,
BR0578 - same as command line, filename field, annotate field, etc.

BR0581 - Color of characters from one message to the next seems to
BR0582 - vary, but there is no evident scheme to the variance.
