Fix the "overview" card information classification #971
Comments
Here's a screengrab from #969 to show what I'm talking about: We need to classify and organize this information. For a start, I see at least the following types of information:
Is this right? Is there a better way to group these? Should we split this out to multiple cards? @skobyda: WDYT? ("What do you think?") |
Thanks for sharing how VirtualBox does it! @skobyda and I talked about this in a call just a few minutes ago and we have some ideas. We worked further on the grouping in a shared document. I think we might want to shift the layout around to go from left to right, then top to bottom instead of being top to bottom, left to right (as it is right now).
However, there's also autostart, which is kind of the odd one out. It's kind of booting, but it's really tied to the VM itself (where it autostarts based on the host machine, not the boot process inside the VM on the guest). We're not done with this, but I have some ideas on how to start laying it out (kind of written above). I'll have to work it through a layout tool (probably Penpot, but perhaps Excalidraw or Inkscape). I've added the |
Hey, I think in close future GPU configuration also might get implemented in the overview card: #554 Edit: On second thought, since there can be multiple video devices attached to a VM, then when GPU gets implemented, it will probably have its separate card among other devices such as disks, and network interfaces... So then I guess we don't have to account for GPU in this card. |

Closing in favor of #1027 |
As seen in #969 (and before): The overview card is a monstrosity. It has grown organically and everything inside has been tossed in, mainly under "general". There's also "hypervisor details", which doesn't seem to be a useful group either, as these are all "details" of some sort (even under "general") and it's not clear what is what or how anything relates to each other.
