I suggest having a kind of start screen instead of the multi-widget view when starting the application the first time. The view should show the possible perspectives / work mode or work flows as well as provide additional information. By selecting a working mode it should be switched to the corresponding perspective. I think this would be an easy way to familiarize people new to MITK with the main features of the new 3M-3 application without having them reading a lot documentation

In Eclipse, this idea is supported via the "Intro" concept (not completely implemented in openCherry yet). The attachment shows a typical Eclipse welcome screen, in which the user can navigate through different topics.

I like the idea. Eclipse, OpenOffice and some other applications do this and it's an easy way to greet the user.

status update:
Hi Marco, little status update:
- no commits yet, since there is nothing useful to commit.
But hopefully we going to have a first version up next week. What I did this week is to get familiar with the QT WebToolkit and how a welcome screen can be realized
Therefore I created a view and displayed the external mitk webpage for testing purposes.
Following, I created a html simple welcome test page in order to test the QWebPage delegation mechanism of different kind of links such as local file system links, web links, and mitk links (new designed links leaned on the Url schema, used to change between perspectives ).
Further steps are:
- testing if we can display the welcome view within a particular method for showing intro pages,
- putting the test page within the QT resource system,
- transferring the web view into an editor window instead of an simple view,
- implementation of an option to check if the QT Webtoolkit is availalbe, if not a simple view should be showed,
- Implementation of an simple optional view
- finally thinking about how we could design the welcome screen .. should be discussed within the application frame group
- Design of the welcome screen: ( I think I am going to need help on this due to time issues ) we will see ..
.. that all for now ..
