1: General
|
|
||||||
----------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- When the app starts up, it pops up a dialog while scanning for devices.
|
|
||||||
- The window is resizeable.
|
|
||||||
- There doesn't seem to be any way to get the information that I need
|
|
||||||
easily: I suspect that some direct reading of the partition map is
|
|
||||||
needed. For now, a fake struct with the info I need will suffice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2: Display View
|
|
||||||
---------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The display view displays information about the drives that the system knows
|
|
||||||
about. The following information is shown:
|
|
||||||
- Device: Where the device is mounted on the system. For example, my floppy
|
|
||||||
drive is at /dev/disk/floppy.
|
|
||||||
- Map Style: Either apple or intel, depending on which type the media is.
|
|
||||||
- Partition type: Empty for a drive.
|
|
||||||
- File System: Comma seperated list of the File Systems on the selected
|
|
||||||
device.
|
|
||||||
- Volume Name: Comma seperated list of the Volume Names of the partitions on
|
|
||||||
the selected device.
|
|
||||||
- Mounted At: Comma seperated list of the mount points of the partitions on
|
|
||||||
the selected device.
|
|
||||||
- Size: Total size of the media at the selected device.
|
|
||||||
Selecting a drop down arrow on a device shows a list of partitions on the media
|
|
||||||
in the device. The following information is shown:
|
|
||||||
- Device: Empty for a partition.
|
|
||||||
- Map Style: Empty for a partition.
|
|
||||||
- Partition type: The type of the partition.
|
|
||||||
- File System: The file system on that partition.
|
|
||||||
- Volume Name: The name of the partition.
|
|
||||||
- Mounted At: The mount point of the partition.
|
|
||||||
- Size: The size of the partition.
|
|
||||||

4: Partition View
|
|
||||||
-----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The partition view is brought up when "Partition" is chose from the Setup
|
|
||||||
menu.
|
|
||||||
- If the selected drive has partitions that are currently mounted, a dialog
|
|
||||||
is brought up explaining that the partition map can not be modified, only
|
|
||||||
viewed, and offering a choice to cancel or proceed. If the user proceeds,
|
|
||||||
all of the UI components are set to an inactive state, except for the
|
|
||||||
Cancel and Ok buttons.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Intel
|
|
||||||
- The top part of the view shows the device path.
|
|
||||||
- The middle section of the view shows the partitions, the type (in a text
|
|
||||||
box), a readable explanation of the type number in a drop down menu, and
|
|
||||||
a checkbox indicating the state of the Active flag.
|
|
||||||
- The bottom section of the view consists of a slide bar for each partition,
|
|
||||||
allowing the user to set the size of the partitions. Each slide bar can
|
|
||||||
be locked or unlocked, which disallows or allows movement of the slide bar.
|
|
||||||
- The button actions are Revert, Cancel, and Ok.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Apple
|
|
||||||
- (I have no apple partitions available, help needed!!)

* make the unmount menu build off of the selected drive,
