feat: indicate uniqueness of data source picker entry

[craquet]

Alternatives to the star icon could be:

• Fingerprint
• DNA Helix
• Sparkle (I thought it looked odd though)
• Snowflake

Merging to main as development is very out of date 😄

Awesome. Just some small stuff:

tooltip appearence delay

This tooltip takes a while to hover on until it appears. This is consistent with the other tooltips, but not with the one of the availability bar on the left, where it appears much faster. I think as the icon is not 100% intuitive, a faster tooltip could be appropriate here. What do you think?

icon

• sparkles are currently associated with AI, so I would not choose something too similar.
• snowflake doesn't trigger the association for me
• DNA is cool, but can be confusing if the data is actually really related to DNA somehow
• I like the fingerprint.
• I somehow have issues with the star. It tells me "favorite", which also does not perfectly match. Especially as it looks like I should be able to click it (not filled).

So I would either prefer the fingerprint or try to make the star solid, if possible. But I also want to propose another icon:

• https://lucide.dev/icons/circle-dot

What do you think?

tooltip text

Somehow the text seems vague to me. Maybe "These values are unique (different in each provided file)"?

Thanks for the input! I tried out your suggestions as well as another idea, and I'm still not sure which one is the most suitable. I think none of them are as self-explanatory as I would want them to be... But turns out, there is no perfect symbol for saying "this value is unique in all provided example files" 😄

With Circle Icon

Problem: The availability scale and the icon look kind of the same. I find this a bit confusing

With Fingerprint Icon

Problem: None?

Integrated into Availability Scale

Idea: Only add the dot in the middle if all values are unique.

Problem: we have no symbol for quickly checking for 100% availability

The sentence can be misinterpreted as "unique within each file". Should rather be "unique for each file" or so? Actually I am not sure if it is really better. But I find it similarly unclear to the original sentence. Maybe it is just me? How about "The values of this entry are different in each provided file"?

[Pfeil]

Good points. I'd prefer the fingerprint, I guess. Tbh, I did not find any, but I thought an "id" with a circle around it might fit. There is an "id card" icon but I think it would be confusing and associated with persons. Am I overbiased with the star being not filled looking like a button? Maybe it would also look like a fav button if it is filled, though.

I am in principle also not against something more abstract. At least we would avoid misinterpretation. Something like https://lucide.dev/icons/triangle or so. Not sure. Anyway, how about we just choose something and try to get some overall feedback before the workshop from DEM.

Let's just keep the fingerprint for now. What do you think about my remark to the text?

[craquet]

@Pfeil changed the text to also include a note that the value might be used as an identifier. As that is the actual intent behind the icon, it might make sense to tell the user 😄

I also increased the tooltip delay back to 700ms. My thinking is that this is a tooltip that will be used when a user doesn't understand the fingerprint icon yet, but will not need in the future (hopefully). This is different to the availability scale, which the user might want to look into more frequently to get more details than is visible through the icon. But for the fingerprint icon the tooltip content never changes, and it is a bit clunky to always throw the popup at the user whenever their mouse crosses over the fingerprint icon
