Multi-Filter Search in action draft

[Davide DB]

Hi All,

First of all, sorry two times:

- I open another thread because the previous one (Started doing the Multi
Filter component...) was hijacked with CCR calculation.
- I post a long html email.

I tried to imagine a possible search navigation with the help of some
mockup screens. I'm trying to find a behavior with no  "dead ends" or
strange paths. I'm not a UI designer so I ask your feedback, suggestions,
improvements.

*Step One: the default*

We start from here. Our classic default "all" view with a dive selected
form the dive list table.

*Step Two: I open/activate the search function*

I don't know exactly how Tomaz did it: a Ctrl+F key combination or a Menu
item.

The key factor here is that a panel opens in  the upper windows portion
(copying Adobe Lightroom metadata filter panel).
Everything get shifted/shrinked below.
Please note that "dive notes", dive profile and map still display the
previously selected dive.
This because I did not touch anything right now.
A note on the search bar:

   - It has a sort of arrow control to minimize it (lower panels shift
   again in position)
   - It has a X control to close definitively.
   - It has a convenience clear filter button.
   - It has a "stats" button which bring me to another panel/window with
   statistics ONLY for filtered dives.

*Step  Three: Filtering/Searching*

Several things happen here! As I start manipulating the upper search bar:


   - Dive list get updated with my search results and it loose the
   previously selected dive.
   - Dive notes, dive profile, dive map get grayed out or simply they do
   not display anything. This is important because my previously selected dive
   or more of them (from the dive list) probably is not among my search result.

*Step Four: search selection option #1*

Here I'm just selecting one or more dives from the dive list and the UI
acts like the normal use case except we have the panel shrinked below. This
use case could happen in the Step Two too: I open the search bar but I do
not filter anything and I continue working on the dive list.

*Step Five: Seach selection option #2*

Exactly as before but.. I chose to minimize the search bar still mantaining
my filters active. As before but with more estate for my data.
The search bar occupy few pixels to show a reminder of the subsets and
showing the two control buttons: close and maximize (the arrow point
downward).

*Final*

>From here we can close the search bar and we go back on Default with all
dives displayed.
The stats panel is still a mistery to me. If you do not filter dives you
have stats for all logbook dives.
I couldn't find "dead ends" on this navigation but I imagine that it's just
question of few post to discover some huge bug!


Byeeeeee

PS
Tomaz I don't have Luisa email is she on the list?
