(1.0.5) small suggestions, many #321
Comments

Just learned in gitter that this is "slated for death", so I stop my list of improvements. But this pt2 I had already typed. This is a follow up on #321 feature request: Larger/choosable font size in code editor Deploy Step 2: ... press Deploy Scenarion Idea: As soon as the TXid is known, show it in the GUI. Deploy Step 3: "Save packaged DApp to": "..." copypaste button does nothing qml: Closing project What is the key to repeat a search? ... 21:33:37.072|mix-ide Closing blockchain DB qml: editor: qrc:///qml/html/codeeditor.js:350:Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
What about maintaining a positive list of tools that will have long term support? |

The case of mix is a bit special. and I am pretty sure that remix will stay for long. |
First impressions of mix-ide
Great tool! Really like it.
Sorry if the following are newb problems. A fresh perspective helps sometimes.
My system is Debian 8 (my manual: ethereum_debian8.txt.)
Some suggestions:
Pressing "debug transaction":
Segmentation fault with:
qrc:/qml/Watchers.qml:79: Error: Cannot assign [undefined] to bool
qrc:/qml/Watchers.qml:79: Error: Cannot assign [undefined] to bool
had to restart it.
Starting mix-ide, intuitive first step (with the sample contract) is to use the HTML page (with the lilac background).
The "query get" works, great!
But "Store 17 Save" results in a yellow-red "web3.js - line 3885 - Uncaught Error: Invalid address".
Have I missed anything?
EDIT (-: web3.eth.defaultAccount = web3.eth.accounts[0]
Yes I know, RTFM; but once a GUI matures, not needed anymore.
Suggestion, check at start:
Before, instead I had to
1 press the PLUS
2 add transaction
3 transact with contract
4 function set()
5 v 17
6 ok
7 press the PLUS
8 Seal block
right?
--> Please make two buttons of the one PLUS:
1 add transaction
2 seal block
Easier to use, and to understand.
Inside "add transaction":
Default "Type of transaction" --> "Transact with contract"
not "create contract" (because the latter is used only once).
The Debian 8 rendering of Qt window and dialogs has choosen a different(-from-windows) font?
Because most your default window & panel sizes are too small, so they all have scrollbars. Only surface issue, but still.
EDIT: Later found the menu "Decrease Application Fontsize". Helps.
Default smaller?
When I call Sample.set() it returns a value - but I cannot see that value anywhere.
until I
1 find the tx with the call
2 find the tiny down-triangle at the right, which (on Debian) is half-hidden
3 click the triangle
4 scroll down
5 find the gray "Output"
-->
output:
undefined 17
== many steps.
Please introduce one more panel, showing return results.
Everything below is the "Rating"-DApp from the mix-tutorial.

Segmentation fault
Typing into the 'query' field (on lilac HTML page) is slow. And caused that crash ^
Why immediately query? Wait until I finish typing, and show a "submit" button?
Deploy to network:
Pick scenario to deploy: name shown is "New_scenario_1", not my renamed name.
No message in GUI when account is not
--unlock "0"
Seen that in cosmo.
Show password dialog if not unlocked?
Make blue "Deploy contracts" column wider. Not all text readable.
"contracts deployment verified" - great. Has worked.
First I overlooked step 3. Then found package.
Idea: Perhaps auto-start step 3, when verified?
When all ready, make "cancel" button into "OK", or "ready", or "leave".
Simplemost instructions in package would be nice, something like:
cd package/www
geth attach
loadScript("deployment.js")
RC = contracts["Rating"].contract
RC.setRating.sendTransaction("matrix", "87", {from: eth.coinbase})
RC.ratings("matrix")
(for user data, perhaps use scenario input?)
Some of my ideas good?
Great tool, very happy about it. Keep up the good work!
