Views UI helper for huge views

Parent Feed: 

While working on two sites with huge lists of fields in views, I threw together the views_ui_tamer module to make life just a bit easier.

The module will probably not make it to drupal.org, but there is a patch here: http://drupal.org/node/981094

This should work for views 2 and 3.

views_ui_tamer adds two ease-of-use features to the views ui.

1. The jquery quicksearch plugin is used to filter checkbox options in the add_item_form. This lets you quickly find a field, argument, filter, etc to add.

2. Large numbers of fields in a view can make the ui unwieldy. These columns are now collapsed to a minimum height, and can be expanded and
toggled by clicking the section's title.

Please feel free to add to this by contacting me for access to the git repo or in the issue mentioned above.

Get the module here: git://github.com/awolfey/views_ui_tamer.git

This is kind of a test repo for me on git. I'm just getting started with git, so would appreciate any feed back if there is a better way to do this. Thanks
