Do you mean putting the aggregate usage meter inside the button with the
selection text, instead of beside it? That's easily doable.
Trying to save message size, I trimmed the window to the part I was talking
about. I have attached here full captures of the pop-out window,
showing the
PCI view that indicates what devices are fully, partially, or not covered by
the current CPU selection. Do you think that's useful?
I guess that is useful, i.e. when selecting a group of CPUs having the
various list of objects have just the ones that have those CPUs in its
affinity masks.
But after looking at it I think it has way too much info, i.e. and
cryptic ones at that, i.e. it should state "Intel ixgbe NIC", say,
instead of all those vendor and model codes :-)
Probably allowing to see a more compact representation that could be
turned into something more detailed by pressing a hotkey, like 'V' or a
button (I would prefer the hotkey, so that the screen doesn't get too
crowded) would be better, i.e. go from a high level view to a more
detailed.
Also those hex cpu masks should be turned into compact CSV, i.e.
"1,3-15,20,22", say.
Looking at selection2 I see that you don't filter out, just highlight,
well, with a bigger machine maybe it would be better to filter out,
showing just the devices that have the CPU selection on it.
If the extra PCI information isn't useful, I could change it from
a pop-out
window to an in-place replacement for the current CPU view.
I think it is useful.
I'm in favor of presenting all the information we can, and it
seems like
making the CPU selection a task-specific window is a good plan, but I know I'm
not a trained UI designer.
Neither am I, so at some point we would better try to show these
sketches to people like Shak to ask his impressions,
