Few ideas to improve UI usability

[modem]

I have a few ideas to make the user interface a bit more usable:

• Move the plan/repo configuration button to the plan/repo page, next to the other existing buttons. In the current layout, it's easy to open the configuration form by mistake when we just want to open the plan/repo page.
• Add a button to expand/close all backup dates on the plan/repo page Tree View
  • Maybe we could have an option in the settings to define the default behavior when we open the plan/repo page: all open/all closed
• Allow to expand or close the backup date by clicking on the date (on the Tree View). Currently, it just works when we click on the small arrow on the left of the date
• The same behavior could also be added to the snapshot Browse and Restore Files in Backup section: clicking on the path to expand it
• The download icon is also difficult to work with: if we hover the mouse the menu pops out, but it's difficult to select any option there as it closes very quickly.
  • It's easier if we click the icon, but the menu closes very quickly if we don't put the mouse on the proper position

Thanks! This is useful feedback, in the next release I'm focused on a bit of future work and bug fixes -- but some of these changes are on my radar (especially w.r.t. bulk expand / collapse in the tree view and configuration button placement)

I would appreciate it if all accessible control elements would visible without having to hover specific fields (.i.e. cogwheel for settings or the download icon within the snapshot browser). Otherwise its easy to miss them if you don´t know they are there.

Also being able open the snapshot browser into a popup window would allow for more usable space and more effective browsing in backups with huge file structures or even just for files with very long names.
