New versions, 1:1 with the new icons at MBS-12951:

openedit-entity-02.svg

^{openedit-relationship-02.svg}

edit: ran icons through tiny png for bonus savings

I think the clock might be clearer about the "pending" concept, at least, so I'd probably go with that  

After feedback from atj (which I lost in my emails, sorry all...) I redid this icon for clarity:

Thoughts?

If people like this look we can do similar ones for our [ + ] [ x ] icons:

See code changes in pull request #2901 submitted by reosarevok.

Correct!

Attached in png and svg, let me know if you need something else:

openedit-entity.svg

openedit-relationship.svg

I like it! So the idea is the left is for edits to the entity, the right for edits to the relationship?

We can leave the different colours for now, just brainstorming.

I've probably faffed with these icons enough for now... I think this is my final, if it looks okay to you:

Blends in with the entity 'edit pending' highlight a bit, if we ever use it elsewhere, but not too much.

Let me know if you'd like changes, otherwise I can supply it at different sizes.

The main issue I can see is that a) there might be multiple edits to the same entity (some destructive, some not) and b) all we have right now is a number, the count of pending edits, but we have no idea about what the edits are.

re. different icons for different edits, what about highlighting if it's 'destructive' or minor, etc? Using Picard's three colour scheme (potentially drop the yellow and just use red and orange):

There's been more icon discussion in the meantime so the icons above use the 'Fontawesome' icon set look that BookBrainz uses. I'll try align with this in general, in future.

New look 'pencil' in-situ:

Once we've decided how the icon will work, in general, and picked an icon, I'll do a second set for 'this relationship has open edits'.

Feedback please!

p.s. a wack idea, if we use an hourglass we should try change how full it is depending on how soon the edit is closing * gif of person holding their head and flying through stars and galaxies *

I think having different icons to show what kind of edits are open might be nice, that way you could tell if it's a merge, deletion, or something else. I don't think we'd need an icon for every type of edit, just some of the big destructive ones at least.
