Re: [Gnumed-devel] 0.3.2 Progress Note editor - won't allow "New" second, concurrent note

[James Busser]

Two complaints or requests which seem
- both unrelated to each other and
- seeming unrelated to any thus-far documented issues

... the patient can be new or maybe rarely came in before.

Apart from the use case which is legitimate, I hate when a button  
invites pushing but does nothing.

When the Progress notes editor currently opens, there is (by default)  
a new episode open in the right pane, and double-clicking a left- 
sided Active problem opens an additional tab.

If there is a limit to one (as-yet unnamed) new episode to be held  
open, then the "New" button seems to serve no function, since the  
first tab seems always to be "new episode" and if a second tab is  
opened from an existing left-sided episode and the entries in the  
"new episode" are saved by use of the Save button, that tab closes  
and a new tab named "new episode" again opens to the right of any  
existing tab. Accordingly the "New" button seems non-functional so  
should be commented out.

This leaves un-implemented a way to have 2 new issues being worked-on  
at the same time.  The downside of having to save one-at-a-time would  
be that the first would have had to be committed already, and is then  
at risk of needing a second note in the same visit in order to add  
more to it. While this would irritate a solution I had in mind to for  
better Journal display, I can accept the constraint :-)
