LT2 Combine page

Hello, wonderful combiners group!

I just wanted to give your group the heads up that the combine page has been LT2ified. It's a rather esoteric page, so this seemed to be the best place to announce it. We have done our best to ensure that the data density on the page stays as close to the same as possible. You can see below that if you select The Lorax font-style it does look pretty close. I know this page can have a lot of information on it, and we didn't want to make it double in length.



Also, I know this is an important screen, and testing it is a little difficult because I don't know the use cases as well as you all do, and I don't want to mess up the real data! So, please let me know as soon as you find issues and I will address them as quickly as I can.

Thanks for all your help!

>1 knerd.knitter: It's working and looks basically the same as before. I was really hoping that the ability to return to the workbench after combining would be added, but I can continue to live without it.

>2 amanda4242: The goal was to not make any real changes to functionality, but only change the interface to match the LT2 style.

I really like the "combine" and "reset" icons

Did the retain all series information get added back in? It was the original default in the work combinations, got switched off because it wasn't supposed to be that (retain series on first selected work), and people complained so Tim said it would go back in...

>3 knerd.knitter: So, cosmetic changes that won't actually help combiners. Gotcha.

Looks good and works as expected, so a succesful design upgrade!

I like the bigger buttons. It looks good.

I miss the right hand column (a bit) with who did how much, and who else worked on this page. I always found that amusing info, but far from essential. It's fully functional as far as I'm aware at this moment. (And I'll let you know if I run into problems).

The righthand column is still there for me. Possibly you have a narrower screen and it's flowed to the bottom of the page?

>13 Aquila:: Oh, that could be it. My current screen (a backup solution)
is indeed kind of small.

I'll just echo >8 SimoneA:

Combining works like it did before the design change, so that's a success in my book.

Petroglyph (#16):

Exactly! No lost functionality (and for me a loss of visible information is lost functionality, but with the very nice Lorax view style that's minimal) so it's a win. I'm sure there was a ton of invisible refactoring to make it stay as nice as it always was.
