Selection pattern design updates
Last modified: 2013-08-08 10:15:24 UTC
There's been a round of changes to the selection pattern; these are intended to overcome a bunch of issues that we've encountered with the existing design. Details of the updated design can be found here: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/SelectionPattern
Created attachment 251009 [details] [review] selection-toolbar: Implement the new selection toolbar
Created attachment 251010 [details] [review] main-toolbar: Use a "Cancel" button instead of "Done"
Created attachment 251011 [details] [review] selection-toolbar: Exit the mode when an action has been performed
The wiki does not cover cases where the action is a toggle. eg., the favorite button. I have left it as an icon because: - It is a bit strange to flip between "Mark as Favorite" and "Unmark as Favorite" because the state of the button and the colour of the icon already implies the mark / unmark action. - The toolbar starts getting cluttered. We already have "Open with Image Viewer" and "Add to Album". In future we will have "Share". - The designs in https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Photos use an icon for favorites (well, it uses a star instead of a heart) while using labels for others. What do you think?
(In reply to comment #4) > What do you think? Agreed. The metaphor is widely used and will be clear I think.
