[RFC] [Kimchi] How to handle more than one interface when listing networks

Hi All, When working w/Edit Virtual Network, Lucio pointed out that when more than one interface is chosen (in the case of VEPA and Passthrough), only one interface is being shown in the list of Networks either after creation or editing of the network. User should be able to see all interfaces for that network. Here are the options of handling the interfaces: 1. Show only 1 interface on the list and when hovering over interfaces, show a tooltip that lists all interfaces for that network regardless of how many are chosen for that network (e.g. even for ones that can only have one interface, show tooltip anyways for consistency) 2. Same as #1 except to show 2 interfaces as there's real estate for that 3. Only show tooltip if there's more than 1 or 2 (whichever we decide) interface(s) Any other ideas? Thanks -Socorro

Hi, I would go with option 1 unless there's a visual feedback like ellipsis or an icon when 2 or more interfaces.

I'm ok with 1 too, but I recommend to append ", ..." to the iface listed to show there are multiple ones. On 24-05-2016 13:11, Samuel Henrique De Oliveira Guimaraes wrote:

Per discussion w/Samuel, we can show whatever interfaces will fit the column width. Whatever does not, we will append '...' and when hovering over interfaces, the tooltip will display them all. On 05/24/2016 01:23 PM, Lucio Correia wrote:
