Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2007-03-22 22:48:29 EDT 
Show last recently used views in the Quick Context View to allow really quick navigation.
Comment 1 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-03-23 21:44:41 EDT 
We've kept UI interaction data of this sort out the task context model and have generally considered UI adaptation out of this cope for Mylar.  The main reason for this is the usability problems that come from doing UI adaptation.  For an example see Leah Findlater's paper: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lkf/pubs/CHI2004-findlater.pdf  So for 2.0 this is out of scope.  But Mylar does offer UI adaptation tools with a more predictable model, and on-demand views like the context quick view could be a good UI mechanism for it.  So I'm leaving this open for further discussion.
Comment 2 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2007-03-23 21:55:19 EDT 
I don't think it is a proper comparison of LRU-sorted stack of views and adaptive menus. The feature I am suggesting is more alike to Alt-Tab task switcher on windows, which is also LRU-ordered. So, please reconsider.
Comment 3 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-03-23 22:06:25 EDT 
We can reconsider, but we would need to have UI elements in the task context, or else such elements don't belong in this view.  Maybe add this to one of our meeting agendas so that we take a first pass through a design discussion?

Heh. Why are you making it so difficult...
