Discussion: |
- Professor Bolker tested all three
applications in the Unix lab, and took note of application status and
bugs. Major findings are listed here.
- Protex: Folding takes a long time
(several seconds) on old machines. Therefore, there should be
some sort of feedback to let the user know that the application is
still running.
- Genex: If the user double clicks on a
single nitrogenous base the whole DNA sequence is selected (on the Unix
machines). This functionality serves no purpose and should
be disabled. Also, the mouse pointer appears to be
inaccurate. Pointing and clicking on one item sometimes selects a
neighboring item instead. This inaccuracy might be a source of
frustation for some users.
- VGL: Program can appear to be
unresponsive if popup windows (e.g., creature images) fall behind main
GUI. Either those images should be forced to stay "on top" of the
GUI, or they should be displayed as part of a separate thread.
- Students reviewed poster and schedule for
presentation on May 4th. Ruchi will begin setting up MGX poster
at 3:30 pm.
