Botframework-composer: Electron app: Add file menu options

Created on 28 Jun 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: microsoft/BotFramework-Composer

Minor UX improvements for the Electron app

  • Currently the buttons _New_, _Open_ and _Save As_ are only available from the Home screen.
  • The _Save As_ button on the Home page is grayed out when no bot is opened (logically), and gets enabled when a bot project is loaded. With the current design of the Home page, it is not intuitive for a user to come back to Home to find the _Save As_ action after making changes to a bot project, as most of the actions on the Home page are related to the creation of a new bot (from scratch or via samples).

Suggestion:

  • Add the actions _New_, _Open_ and _Save As_ to the _File_ menu in the Electron app, so they can be accessed from anywhere.
  • Maybe the _Export_ actions (as .zip & as skill) can be added under the _File_ menu as well?
