== Goals ==

Our goal is to improve the journal usability adding new features and extensions. 

== Objectives ==

* Use the new toolbar.
* Enable multiple files operations.
* Use tags.

== New toolbar ==

The current journal toolbar ran out of space for new options. The new toolbar provides the structure we require for adding these new GUI elements. 

=== Filter and Sort sub-toolbar ===

The current toolbar will be completely moved to a new sub-toolbar. Since this sub-toolbar is not always visible we also add a new element to the journal GUI that pretends to display current [filters, sorting criterias, tags] at any time.

== Multiple files operations ==

* Add a checkbox column to every journal entry.
* Display the edit sub-toolbar when more than one entry is selected.

=== Allowed Operations for multiple files ===

* Copy
* Send to
* Remove (this operation should display a warning before committing)

'''All of this operations should display a proper progress bar.'''

== Tags ==

In this work we propose to remove the current star icon and replace it by tags. We propose to add a new sub-toolbar to manage the creation and deletion of tags. These tags could be used by dragging tags and dropping them on the journal entry.

== Mockups ==
