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
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|

about. The following information is shown:

||
|
|
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:

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.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
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
