[Gnumed-devel] privacy - upgrading and bootstrapping postgresql

[Ruthard Baudach]

In the Wiki Todo List I found:

active patient privacy dilemma

find a sane way to prevent patients waiting in the exam room to freely  
glance at other people's details

The only sane way I can think of is a locked screensaver or automated  
screen-lock. This should be standard in all examination rooms, and is a  
matter of OS-settings rather than application. (By the way - where is the  
lockable screensaver in MSWindows XYZ?? - as far as I know there is none).
It would be great if someone would implement a locked screen- or at least  
"frame"-saver in Gnumed. I've got still just an idea of how python works.

Installing the prerequisites on SuSE 10.1:

All but psycopg2 are part of the Distribution and can be installed with  
yast. In order to install the downloaded psycopg2 package the SuSE  
python-devel rpm has to be installed, too, in order to provide the  
distutils of python.
pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf can be found in /var/lib/pgsql.conf on SuSE

Bootstrapping the server and upgrading to gnumed_v5:

To pg_hba.conf the lines:
local     gnumed_v[NumberOfVersion]     postgres ident  postgres-alikes

must be added prior to upgrading, and to avoid several frustrating retries  
we should remember to load this configuration with pg_ctl reload. I do  
know that now.

Allergy management:

the current check-out shows only the first 6 letters of the allergenic  
agent, and is not well readable: "parace,Penici" instead of "paracetamol,  
Penicillin".
For mouse lovers it would be a nice shortcut to raise the Allergy  
Management Widget by clicking on the caveat-field.

Using keys, on the other hand, it would be nice to be able to change  
quickly through the notebook-tabs. If the F-keys are still unused
in Gnumed, they could be assigned to the tabs (and Ctrl+F could be  
assigned to subtabs at the upper part of the panel, creating a sort of  
"grahical key shortcut"

This could be indeed a good idea - the Alt, Ctrl and Shift key raise up  
from the whitespace key, F1 to F10 or F12 from left to right.

Thus Tabs at the bottom are F1 to 12, Buttons at the botton Alt+F1 -  
Alt+F12, Buttons at the top Strg+F1 to Strg+F12, and Tabs at the Top Shift  
F1 to F 12. I just looked at the edit demographics panel with a 3 tabs at  
the top and 2 buttons at the bottom.

Well, just an idea.
