What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select Preview, Local File,
M:\Classes\Cee111\ReidSenescu\Charette\classroom   where M points to my
narratives folder.  The image appears
2. Save to Server
3. Load All from server

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Image should appear after loading again, but it doesn't.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Deleting lighting narrative not working in greendorm database

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Can you make the arrow lines thicker?

Change the arrowheads to be bigger or more solid?

The everything search box should also search narrative names.

Search window looks great.

A suggestion (straight from my HCI prof).  Can you make the default window
size of the search box slightly taller, such that it's obvious to the user
that the results are shown below. 

Now, one might search and wonder where the results went.  They would need
to know to scroll down for results. Just make the first view lines of the
search results visible without having to scroll or adjust the window. 
Also, you might find that you can eliminate some grey space in "search by
text" box.

Also, is it necessary to have two scroll bars?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. select perspective in narrative
2. right click on white space
3. copy
4. paste

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing happens.  it works using the directory functionality.

We have lost the ability to add a Perspective which has already been
defined in another Narrative to the current Narrative,. Can you enable drag
and drop from the hierarchy canvas into the narrative canvas?  (I realize
this causes conflict with selection activating the narrative view. Use the
ctrl key to enable selecting without modifying the view in the narrative
canvas).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to server
2. Create a new model
3. Try to create new perspective


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It doesn't work.
Seems impossible to create a new node by double clicking, or right
clicking, etc.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open group\narratives\projects\charette\Narratives\House-daylight-energy.rdf
2. Save to server
3. Try to change the narrative name.  Click enter.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Name doesn't change.  This could be because this model is corrupt.  I
couldn't find any loops.  Do you know why this model is corrupt?


Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

When deleting a narrative, ask, "Do you really want to delete XXXX narrative?

Currently the process for uploading has you :
1. connect tot he server and model you want to upload to.
2. Open a model on the hard drive.
3. Click "Save to Server" to save that latest model intot he model you
selected previously on the server.

The only problem with this is that after step 2 above the application no
longer shows anywhere that you are connected to the server, and if so
where. So when you click "Save to Server" it is not clear where it is
saving the model. 

I suggest the Narrative Hiearchy window should look like this:
Server: http://cife-server.stanford.edu:8080: CIFE-Narratives
  + and then show all of those Narratives
File: Y:/WWW/cee111spring08/greendorm/greendorm-final-narrative/model.rdf
  + and then show those Narratives

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set status to Integrated
2. Save to Database
3. Load all from database
4. Close firefox, 
5. Restart firefox and reload database and narrative.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the color should stay the same, but when you reload the same narrative the
status doesn't change, the barrel remains red.

I want to be able to point people to a particular Narrative, and have them
only need to click on the url to get there. Is it possible for us to make
urls like this:
http://cife-server.stanford.edu:8080/cife/Narrator2.htm#http://cife-server.stanf
ord.edu:8080/green-dorm-heartbeat
Can we also extend this to drill down any depth into the narratives with
these urls.
http://cife-server.stanford.edu:8080/cife/Narrator2.htm#http://cife-server.stanf
ord.edu:8080/green-dorm-heartbeat/Schematic
Designs
This should tell Narrator what Narrative to open in the Narrative canvas,
and to show in the Hierarchy canvas at start up

- I deleted this issue by mistake - so I added it again...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter in execution times
2. Save to server
3. Close applet and restart

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The time is not saved.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Goto server database Test 1
2. Open Model
3. Browse to \afs\ir.stanford.edu\group\narratives\cee111spring08\gsb
4. Open gsb-library-analysis.rdf or gsb-library-daylight.rdf


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should open.  But "error loading model"

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

When i open a model on my harddrive, the next time i open the open model
window, it should remember the path and go back to the same path.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Actually....all the previous posts about things not being updated apply to
everything.

When you save to server, it only temporarily saves to the server. When you
reload Narrator, no changes ever appear.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  First time, when i connect to database, it doesn't give me a list of
server models.  
2. I need to refresh to get the list.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up a narrative on the network:
group\narratives\projects\charette\Narratives\GSABorderStation-daylight-illumina
nce.rdf


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The images, icons, etc don't show.  They only show up once you save to
server and then, reload.

If i do not download Narrator for a while (several hours) when i first try
to do so, and then try to "Select Server Model" the list is empty. (see the
attached image).

Cancelling and reconnecting to server shows a full set of models...

Please see the attached images to see desired ui modifications. Here is a
summary of hte issues described there.
1. removal of green menu and placement of hte contained functionality in a
panel on the left

2. Add a "Connect to Narratives" panel on the left that simplifies the
process of connecting to the server and to a narrative on the server.

3. Add about pages that allows me to add information about Narrator and
Narratives. Assure i have access and instructions for how to access and
modify that html file. 

When you connect to the server, it should Load all the narratives from the
server automatically.  You shouldn't have to click "Database: Load all from
server."

when you save to server, it should not refresh to a blank screen.  the view
should stay at the same narrative.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I connected to the server and then Charette-02
2. I opened up 
narratives\cee111spring08\gsb\gsb-library-analysis.rdf
3. It never opened.
4. Sometimes it will appear if i save to server and reopen, so that's what
i did.
5. I reconnected to the server and Charette-02 was gone!!!!

Can you recover Charette-02 for me?  I have a lot of information there.

Also, why do you think this narrative (gsb-library-analysis.rdf) doesn't open?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  connected to server and loaded CIFE-Narratives
2.  I opened
http://www.stanford.edu/group/narratives/projects/charette/Narratives/House-dayl
ight-video.rdf
3.  I saved to server.
4.  I loaded all from server
5.  I searched all.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The other models were deleted.  i couldn't get them back.  Seems like the
new model overwrited the old ones.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Open a model
2.  Delete a perspective in the model


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The hierarchy collapses automatically.  It should stay open.

Should we add "close" in the file menu?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a model
2. Move the vertical divider to the right
3. Try to move the vertical divider back to the left.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You can't shrink the window on the left by moving the vertical divider left.

If the only option to make the Narrator work is to alter the java security
file, please include a .bat file or some alternative easy way for the user
to easily alter these settings with one or two clicks.

You should be able to change the status of multiple perspectives at the
same time by selecting multiple perspectives.

If is toggle off the execution time (or any view for that matter) and then
I save, when i reload, the execution time should still be toggled off.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. If i create a new model with a name of an existing model, it should ask
"A model with that name already exists.  Do you want to overwrite the
existing model?"

1. Can you add a text box for each narrative
2. I think this could go below the Narratives tree.  When you clicked on a
new narrative, the appropriate text box would come up.
3. Anyone could type in  the text box and the text would automatically be
saved when you leave the narrative.  
4. I'm thinking it's about five text lines high, but that it has a scroll
on the right if more text is added.

Let me know the easiest way to do this.  It could also go on the actual
narrative window if it's easier.

you should be able to toggle on and off actor text

What steps will reproduce the problem?
delete a narrative.  Save to server.  Load from server.  The narrative is
gone.  I then close the application. Reopen the browser.  


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The narrative I deleted is still there.  It should be gone.

When Ben created the Narrator applet functionality, he uploaded the model,
and then uploaded the resources as relative urls.
When i try to open these models and resources using the latest Narrator
build, it does not resolve the relative urls.  I've attached a picture to
explain more.

Could you implement item #2 in the attached mockup?

I'm interested in your feedback.  What do you think of this?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open group\narratives\projects\charette\Narratives\House-daylight-energy.rdf
2. Save to server
3. you get an error message (nice).  But then, i need to be able to delete
a corrupt narrative no matter how corrupt it is.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
deleting any narratives in the model doesn't work.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. File, New Model
2. Nothing happens
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You should be able to create a new model this way.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
The narrative at:
narratives\projects\platform\charette\House-daylight-video.rdf
When I open it, all the hierarchy shows up perfectly.  Then, I save to
server, load from server, and all the hierarchy is all screwed up.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put a comma in any title
2. Save to server
3. Reopen same narrative

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Putting a comma in the title makes the file corrupt.

It would be nice to be able to change model names at the highest leaf in
the narratives box.

http://cife-server.stanford.edu:8080: Test2

Or under file menu, you could add Edit Models.

That would take you to a window where you could edit model names and delete
models.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. search for something that produces results
2. open a new model

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The search results should be cleared, because you can no longer access the
results once the new model is opened.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Search for input, content, " "
2. Search for output, title, " "
3. hit search button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
all the narratives should show up.  Instead just 3 out of roughly 7 show
up.  Opening narratives reveals many of the narratives have disappeared.

Is there a bug in the hierarchy view? Why does Mechanical System Scope not
show that it has a deeper hierarchy there? When I click on the barell in
the narrative view, I access a very deep hierarchy of narratives. 

See attached image.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  copy a perspective
2. right click on the narrative window
3. paste perspective


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The perspective should just be pasted on the narrative that you're looking
at, but it went to some other location (i think on a sub-narrative of the
narrative that was selected in the hierarchy)

I am unable to upload the following model to the CIFE-Narratives model on
the Server.
Y:\WWW\classes\08-09\CEE215\Projects\greendorm\water\future-state.rdf

The application hangs and never actually uploads the model.

For some reason I am able to upload the very same model to the N1 model on
the server.

I've tried uploading this model several times to the CIFE-Narratives model,
to no avail.

Add ability to search by actor, process, and process icon.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. goto narratives\cee111spring08\gsb\
2. Try opening any of the .rdf files
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It reports that there is an error.
