With approx. 20 items, a combo box is no longer ideal. We should think about how we can better facilitate the selection of base images. For more details, see https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2166
I'll try to to implement a custom combo box for which the height can be set.
Created attachment 704 [details] bug 2345- selecting base images spec.pdf Hi Valentin, Attached a document showing a possible design to handle base image selection. Check also the html prototype at: https://github.com/belenbarrospena/2-step-image-selection-2345 Play a bit with the 'Select a base image' section to see how the image groups work, and let me know what you think. Cheers Belen
Just realised that bug 2565 might also fix this bug without requiring any changes to Hob's interface. We should wait until 2565 is fixed and then determine if the new design is needed. Belen
Changing the target milestone to 'Future': I am not sure it is worthwhile to tackle this problem as part of the current release.
Hello Belen, It seems that bug #2565 did not solve this issue. So, we will keep the design proposed in this bug or you have some new ideas? Thank you, Cristiana

Hi Cristiana, Could you have a look to this document: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/attachment.cgi?id=1031 and tell me what you think? Thanks!

Hello Belen, As you can see in your design these combo boxes with flyout menus are in gtk3. I did not find them in a previous version. Instead, I've found another find. Please see the attachment. What's your opinion?

Created attachment 1036 [details] combo box multiple layout
I am not sure this is going to help. Our problem is that we have too many items in those combo boxes, and to solve the problem we need to group them somehow. The multiple layout does not help with the grouping, I'm afraid. I guess it's back to the drawing board :( (In reply to comment #9) > Created attachment 1036 [details] > combo box multiple layout
But that's exactly that combo box for. To show on multiple columns, in case you have many items. But I suppose, but it doesn't look so well.

This bug needs a design, so I will change the status. Cristiana
Hi Cristiana, I've taken the bug, since it needs design. Belen
At this point, work will take place on toaster, not hob, so marking as won't fix.
