  • Worked on MMDB-726, add delete tag capabilities to desktop client and move tag view/delete to the TagView. This issue involved several changes to be made including adding a TagView to the desktop UI plugin so I could reuse code from the Info view for dealing with tags. The intent was to make the TagView more useful by displaying tags and adding the ability to delete them. This required adding some listeners and a callback to listen for delete events. When I removed displaying tags from the Info view this required me to update some of the UI layout. I also uncovered some odd behavior in deleting tags that Joel and I are looking into. It seemed that TagEventBeanUtil.getTags(subject) returned correctly, but TagEventBeanUtil.getAssociationsFor(subject) returned incorrectly (it still returned the deleted tag) so something appears to be out of date. When the app restarts, the getAssociationsFor returns correctly. This issue is still open while we track down what is happening. I will test my changes this week and check in my updates shortly.
  • Started working on different perspectives that can be used with Medici to provide users with views associated with their primary interest (e.g. uploading data, browsing data/images, executing tools, etc). I am updating the wiki with perspective mockups and will continue this week.
