Re: PSPPire UI mockup

[Bastián Díaz]

Thank you very much for the good reception of the suggestions.

note: A friend just reminded me forget some functions included in the mockup.

Currently in SPSS, you can copy a case or more and paste them into the same 
file or another open in another window (or in a text file). The same happens 
when you copy the properties of a variable.
When you paste a case in a empty space are copied exactly the same data, 
however when copying a variable, stick the same properties, but with a generic 
name (eg VAR0001).
The options to copy, cut, paste and clean also appear in the context menu 
(which currently appears insert/delete cases/variables in PSPPire).
This is very useful for example when you have to analyze Likert questionnaires, 
where some reagents have the same properties.


The other function is purely visual. When activated the value labels from the 
toolbar in the data view, in some cases the transition is somewhat abrupt when 
deployed option above. One possible solution is to align left columns active 
variables with labels (omitting the user option when activating the function). 
This allows comfortable position exists for the button that displays the 
options.


The latter refers to the column headings (in data view and variable view), the 
width not less than the title.
In data view allows better visualization of the variables and variables given 
to correctly display options.
* currently considering variables that exist, but there are difficulties when 
dealing with the interface in another language (not English). For example in 
the "align" the word is cut (alienación → alienac), but when I correct the 
width manually, capped appears showing the entire word. I imagine that there 
may be difficulties in other translations, where the words are bigger.


Again I tell you that these are suggestions from a group of users.

Regards
