Wallet Explorer

With the introduction of multi wallet support #8, we have the Wallet Explorer.

I think it can be the main way that the user navigates through his wallets.

• seeing all the wallets in a nice ordered list
• loading a wallet, this is done easily with a double click, or right click context menu Load Wallet.
• doing wallet specific tasks, like testing password [Test Password #19] done in a right click context menu
• Navigate the tabs of the wallets, Send, Receive, CoinJoin, History` etc. It is always clear which tab of which wallet is opened, because of the drop down hierarchy
• overview of the wallet balance [of loaded wallets]
• easy activation of lurking wive mode

The Wallet Manager was one of the first things added in this new UX redesign, and I think it is very very good. In fact, it has completely changed how I manage the different tabs of the wallet. I no longer click on the tabs in the top for switching the views. Rather, I ALWAYS use the wallet explorer, both to load the wallets, and then to switch the tabs of the wallets.

Further, I have seen multiple users use the new Wasabi, as well as asked multiple users about how they now load wallets and switch between the tabs. And [not so much] surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of users are now using the Wallet Explorer to switch the tabs. When I asked users afterwards WHY they used it, they said something along the lines that, "it is a nice overview of all wallets", "it was clear which coinjoin tab of what wallet I'm clicking" etc.

So, both from personal experience, as well as from initial user feedback [though more feedback would be nice], I am confident that the Wallet Explorer was a fantastic addition to Wasabi UX for the multi wallet support, and I think that we can leverage it very much in the future design consideration.

It can be a great tool to declutter the whole experience, for example removing the Load Wallet tab #10, or the Test Password tab #19.

Some improvements that @molnard mentions in #10, and that I personally like a lot too, is to pin wallets in the explorer.

Right now, wallets are ordered based on two criteria...

• loaded wallets are up top
• alphabetical ordered

It would be nice to have this pined feature, where a selected wallet is ALWAYS on top, regardless weather it is loaded or what letter it starts with.

It could be a right click context menu with Pin Wallet or Unpin Wallet.

Then, the pinned wallets can be ordered based on drag and drop. So, if more than one wallet is pinned, the user can arrange them in whatever order he prefers.

Perhaps some extra functions currently only possible by editing the wallet.json file, such as renaming the wallet could be included as right click menu option.

Yes @kravens - and these kind of functions should also be available in the "expanded" wallet manager at the launch of Wasabi.
