These are draft 4, updated 24 August 2009.
These are draft 5, updated 12 September 2009.


=== Changelog ===
=== Changelog ===
* 'Local' devices tab has been renamed to 'Basic'
==== Design Changes/Additions ====
* Added IQN to search, multipath, and other SAN devices tabs
* the mockups are now organized into two separate paths
* s/Fiber/Fibre
* a status bar to indicate the total number of devices & space present in the UI vs. the selected number of devices & space has been added.
* New filter icon is used consistently across screens
* there are now icons to explain the 5 partition screens in the basic screen flow
* "Basic vs Advanced Installation" is now renamed "Installation to Basic or Specialized Devices"
* boot device selection has been removed from the partition scheme screen. it was a small dropdown on that screen, now it is a full-blown screen.
* Chopped off UNIX-style device names (woowoo!)
* new upgrade/install icons that are distro-agnostic / de-branded
* Modified data vs install target selection screen such that install target list widget is much more compact (so we can fit the longer WWIDs now that we've cut the UNIX-style device names)
* RAID devices no longer use UNIX-style device names
 
==== Bug Fixes ====
* upper-right-corner list filter boxes have been cleaned up (removed old unused items)
* the capacity column was missing from several SAN-related screens. It has been added.
* fixed more instances of the term "fiber" to read "fibre"
* the term "bios raid" has been replaced with "firmware raid" (for UEFI consideration)
* the term "product name" has been replaced with "model"
* usage of the term "device" has been made consistent throughout the mockups. there are no more references to "drive"

There are two paths through the mockups. One is for using working with '''basic devices''' such as internal IDE/ATA drives, the other is for working with '''specialized devices''' such as SANs, Firmware RAID, etc.

Anaconda Storage UI Design

Mission Statement: To make it easier to find and identify the device(s) that you want to work with in anaconda, especially when there are large numbers of devices and/or types of devices present.

Icon Work

Design Team ticket 63 concerns the updating of icons in Anaconda. Some icons may need to be redesigned/created also as part of this UI redesign effort. Some notes on this follow.

Install Type Icons

Right now we have install and upgrade. One idea proposed in UI feedback in that we have three install types:

  • clean install
  • multiboot install (don't overwrite other OSes)
  • upgrade

Here's some icons to demonstrate these:
