[kepler-dev] Simple Search

[Laura L. Downey]

That is the button that takes you to a data sources dialog so you can select
which sources you are searching.  This is part of reworking those two
confusing dialogs for finding sources on the ecogrid the user can search
from and for then selecting which sources out of those the user wants to
search.  

If anyone wants to see the latest designs they can run the VB prototype I
put in Kepler CVS.  It is here:

C:\kepler\docs\dev\usability\prototype\laura-test-kepler-Aug30-05.exe

I haven't added a source dialog for components yet.

If you go to the data tab and press source you'll see the data sources
dialog and if you press "add" from that dialog you can search the ecogrid
for sources to add to your "selection list."

There is also a powerpoint presentation which has several of the latest
screen designs in them from this latest prototype.  It can be found here:

Looks good.  What does the "source" button do (it isn't immediately
obvious).
