Give him my/our thanks.
Of course it is not perfect (specially the client and server install).
Observations:
On double-clicking the GnumedLauncher, the Mac's main menu bar
- briefly flashes Gnumed / File / Edit as menus
- quickly reverts to the Mac's "Finder"menus
- then shows only a "Python" menu, and the GnuMed login dialog appears
- total time to this point - about 5 seconds
- PS: buttons all work, help displays seemingly correctly, options
scroll bar offers test-doc, any-doc, localhost, hherb [perhaps because
I had already tried these - not sure if they're all built-in)
Questions:
- from this point on the first menu appears fixed as "Python" - is it
not easy/possible to get it to again say GnuMed?
- button position: OK seems awkwardly placed as the third button in; do
we wish a convention in which the "confirmatory" (or most-often picked)
button is either left-most or right-most, with additional conventions
for placing the Cancel/Quit, help and options buttons
- button defaults: on the Mac it is possible to visually communicate a
'default" button which is accepted just by pressing Enter or Return -
is this supported in wxPython/wxWidgets?
- do Macs, Windows and Linux GUIs all have different terms for
"leaving" a program (Quit vs Exit vs ?? Cancel)
- - did the choice of Cancel simply suit termination after launching
from the command line and CVS in which case maybe Python remained
loaded?
Logging into Localhost:
- observed the "Gnumed: loading 20 plug-ins" dialog. Four or five of
them flashed "failed" as they went by including ClinicalWindowManager
and gmContacts
- - (gnumed log attached)
- problems with main GnuMed window appearance and behaviour
- - (screen shot PDF "busserMacScrn20040229 attached)
- - tabs are all crowded together, overlapping at extreme left of the
screen, cannot be activated
- - window inner work areas do not display except transiently as I
click out, and back, into Gnumed. Almost the whole window is occupied
by "XDT field" and "XDT work area" which will not yield to other
clicks.
- - along the bottom right of the window, date and time display and
refresh correctly
- if I resize the window to make it bigger, then I can see displayed
"EMR dump, Guidelines, lab journal etc" beneath which is a status
remark "Done". If I click "lab journal" without a patient selected, the
status line explains that no patient is selected. However if I find and
activate Kirk, James T and click lab journal, the status line does not
refresh and I am still stuck with "XDT field" and "XDT work area" but
no results. Clicking on the other tabs along the bottom do nothing and
the status line does not change.
- menus shown are Python, File, Edit, Tools, Reference, Help. Their
items I can select, but they result in no action
- time to complete loading and to display the main notebook about 15
seconds
- time from entering "Kirk" and pressing <enter> to see returned "Kirk,
James T": 12 seconds
- time from deleting "found" kirk and re-entering kirk and pressing
<enter>: I gave up after 2 minutes
Logging into hherb:
- time to load the modules (ADSL connection) about 1 minute
- time to find and refresh Kirk's name in the search box 35 seconds
- same problems as above, it is just that there is no slight defect
within the bottom left margin of the window as seen connecting to
localhost
