- the action would look like buttons (rounded in all corners -doesn't ui-corner-all do the trick?-)
- have a confirm before popup before moving all tickets in the list in another version: this (painful) error is just one click away now...
Not sure this should be a stopper though

add commentI think it would be a good idea to have a different visual aspect than tabs. Maybe a button style with an icon ?
There are no tabs.
It would be even better if :
Action: well, it's a "button group" hence they are packed together and only the group has rounded corners -- you want sole buttons ? I can do that cheaply if there is a consensus vote on this.
The confirm popup: just NO. The "move tickets" is defined in the tracker cube and is inherently dangerous. It should be addressed in tracker.
I agree it must not be fixed in CubicWeb core, but in the concerned cube. Keep in mind however that this button is more exposed than ever and thus the priority of a fix in tracker must be promoted consequently.
Well, imho it is just _a tiny bit_ more exposed than ever, but well :)
Your wish come true: https://www.cubicweb.org/ticket/3276713
I'm not sure all actions deserve to be presented at the same level. For instance, I for one almost always use the 'toggle filter' action but hardly ever other ones. In fact, it makes me wonder if we shouldn't just display the filter by default and move other actions in a side action box (or several ones, e.g. for those that modify data and for export ones).
Thanks for moving forward on this.
I am in just the same case. However I do consider the all button presentation as a definite improvement over the all hidden previous presentation. Thanks a lot!
And by the way, as some have already put it, I have no problem with buttons performing actions. However I'm not clear with this - now striking - mix of presentation options (filter and export) and actions redundant with the action box on the left.
I would better let the presentation options and export (non-mutating actions) appear in this new toolbar and let the actions lie in the action box.
They are not really redundant, they just perform the same role but for the rset of the table, not the rset of the page.
Yes, that's a possibility I had thoughts about. I would like it even more, but it's a greater departure from the current situation, which imho makes it harder to push down to the product owner.
The current ticket/patch makes only a slight but important adjustment, leaving other important ui changes for later.
what's the status of this change? can the people who rejected it last time around please make their objections known so they can be addressed if need be, instead of deferring this forever?
As far as re-reading the above comment threads, there seem to be no real objection.
