| Summary | 0000918: per block download visualisation | ||||
| Description | A color matrix showing each iblock and dblock of a download The dblocks should be marked somehow (a key symbol on them?) Each block would have one of the following status indicator colours: red - We don't know the key or id for the block yellow - We know the key and id for the block green - We have succesfully downloaded the block Blinking (lightening the color) for action... red - blink when a query for the keys is sent to network yellow - blink when query for the block green - blink when the block is sent to another node | ||||
| Additional Information | Usually it is good to hide technical details from user, but not when they have a therapeutic effect or may attract users. If the user is looking at gnunet-gtk while downloading, (s)he is definitely going to need something cool to look at. I don't know, if it is by purpose, but MS defrag uses this. (Looking at MS defrag is very relaxing ;-) Also flashget download manager uses similar view to visualise downloading the file from multiple places at the same time. I'm not sure, if the visualisation I described is even possible as I described it. Blinking green on sending a block further might be very hard to implement. | ||||

I came to think that it would probably be a lot clearer to show only d-blocks in the matrix. Otherwise user will wonder what the iblocks are. It is not necessary for user to know about them. When they are left out the matrix looks more like a progress bar, which many users are familiar with. Blinking red dblocks is good enought. Blinking smaller areas at once indicates that we are closer to yellow state. Which user will easily notice by staring at the matrix. |
