Outstanding Problems
/ Issues for further Investigation, 3/9/04
1) COLLECTION NAME: One remaining problem is with the repetition of the collection name as the first element in the metadata display. Are you certain nothing at all can be done about this? I can understand that the menu bar display is part of a different set of functions, but I have a hard time believing that the box labeled "Collection:" can't be suppressed. If it's not supressable, can it be moved to the very end of the list of metadata tags we display? If neither of these can be done, then that's that -- though I would really like a better sense of why this design choice was made. 2) REPOSITORY SPEED SEARCH (BROWSER INSIGHT/) In the Browser version, the SpeedSearch of "Repository" does not appear to function. (I haven't been able to get a session in the browser version to confirm this, but if that's true, clearly it needs to be fixed.) 3) ZOOM ISSUE: I've lost track of which images in the test system actually have sid/Zoom enabled at this point. People here keep reporting that zooming in too far results in an empty grey screen; but I'm assuming that's because the sid hasn't been loaded for that particular image. For the record, could you confirm this and also describe the behavior of the system when the sid is in fact loaded and the user has zoomed to the largest size and tries to zoom in still further? What displays and what message is generated for the user? 4) METADATA & SEARCHING ISSUES: I'm presuming that all the following relate to the metadata supplied by Saskia and would have to be addressed by updating the metadata locally and changing the indexing and display options as needed to accommodate the metadata change. I'm listing the following therefore both to confirm our understanding of the situation and to create for ourselves a list of changes we might want to make locally either as part of the training or while we have the system in test mode at Columbia.
