DSP 1.2 Release Notes

Development, General Add comments
For release 1.2 of DSP (as I’ve been fondly calling the Developer Sneak Peak) here are the enhancements that were made:
  1. Went  from a partial screen panel to a full screen view port to maximize the amount of real estate available for the application
  2. added additional issue detail panel on the bottom to view the details on the selected issue. This brings the number of panels up to 4
    1. the series panel on the left – this is where your series search results are displayed. Select one to see available issues.
    2. the series details panel on the upper right – this is where additional information about the series is displayed, such as notes about the series any information on continuity, etc.
    3. the issues panel on the center right – this is where the available issues for a given series are display. Select one to see additional info on it in the issue detail panel or to edit it.
    4. the issue details panel on the lower right – this is where additional information is displayed for the selected issue, such as notes on the issue, description on the variation, continuity information, cover thumbnail, etc.
  3. made all panels except for the issues panel collapsible. this means you can easily focus on the panel you’re dealing with and maximize its space
  4. Added the capability to filter issues by any one field, for example, only show the Annual issue for a given series. Or show all issues that have variants for a given series.
  5. Enhancements to the issues panel.
    1. Added new notes column that show any notes for the selected issue as well as any description for the particular variant.
    2. Added an Expand Notes button so that Notes column can be expanded or collapsed vertically to see all of the issue notes and/or variant description
    3. Added tool tip pop ups for the notes column. You can now hover over the notes field for a given issue and see it’s full value without having to select it or expand the notes field for all issues.
    4. Cleaned up the display of the issues grid by displaying most common issue type (Regular), variant (No Variant) and printing (1st printing) as blanks. This looks much cleaner as there is more white space.
    5. Added tool tips for Type, Variant and Printing Columns. Just hover over the column and the value for the Type Code or Variant Code will display in a tool tip for the issue. For printing a tool tip will only appear when the Printing field is blank in which case the tool tip will be ‘1st printing’. For example, hover over the Type Code of ‘Anl’ and a tool tip will be ‘Annual’.
    6. performed some general code factoring to make the code more maintainable.
