Neat, much better.

1. Should the input boxes (free space before/after and size) be that wide? That looks like ~2.5x the max width of anything they could logically contain in plausible usecases.
2. Also, could the window width be sized so that the title text fits in the titlebar? That's a pet peeve of mine.

Wahoo,

I've seen all the screenshots and I was concerned that it appeared to be a massive collection of ugly tables and lists and buttons. It's good to see you haven't forgotten about making it easy on the eye. I (like everyone) will judge an application in the first few seconds, and open something else if this one looks too scary.

Good work.

If you've been using the application and your impression from working with it is that it was just a "massive collection of ugly tables and lists and buttons", please let me know where we can improve usability.

This thing is really supposed to be as usable and as user friendly as possible, despite all the features. ;-)

Generally very nice. I'd decrease the size of the border around the partitions by a little bit though so small partitions don't end up with a border bigger than the space inside or define the smallest horizontal area a partition can take to be a bit bigger than it is now.

Thanks for the feedback, Michael.

Discussion here and on IRC seems to imply there's some more fine tuning required, so I'll look into it (together with Hugo, of course) some more. Making the borders a tiny bit smaller and increasing the minimum width probably will be first on the list of things to try out.

Hi,

Looks good but your formats are off.
On the top half you're using GiB and on the bottom half you're using MB, not MiB 141GiB ~ 145,035 MB
And as JR said, please keep the window title short enough for it to fit inside the window borders, so resize the window or reformat the title.

Just thought of another thing you might want to look at.
Why mix the use of GiB and MiB (or GB and MB) in one window? This is not only not consistent, but very confusing at time.

great! looks like a real kde4 app now :) i love little polishing like that :)

I'll look into point one again.

The dialog window is resizable. The application will remember the dialog size across sessions. So if you really need to see the application name repeated in the dialog window (that's all that gets cut off in the sceenshot), you could just make it wide enough once and be done with it.

I cannot see any mistake in the use of capacity units here. Please enlighten me.

Thank you ;-)

If I'm not mistaken you have "Maximum size" in GiB (141.64) and 2 lines down in the edit field "Size" it's in MB (145,039)

I'm afraid you are mistaken:

152,084,791,951 Byte == 148,520,304.64 KiB == 145,039.36 MiB == 141.64 GiB

versus:

152 084 791 951 Byte == 152,084,791.95 KB == 152,084.79 MB == 152.09 GB

[...] KDE Partition Manager: New PartWidget Design [...]

I haven't tested KDE partition manager since v1.01 - I was worried when I saw some of the earlier (probably mid-development) dialogs, but having seen this post and the last line of your reply just there I don't think I've anything to worry about.

It all looks to be going great. I'll check out SVN sometime and give some proper feedback if I think it needs it. It all appears to be in safe hands.
