GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 70512
"Run program" dialog: HIG conformance
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
A few usability issues with the Run Program dialog: - The list control should have a separate text label, rather than column header... then the label can have access key (E.g. _Applications) - "Advanced..." button should not have ellipses as it does not open another dialog that requires input. It should either be labelled "Advanced >>" (and probably change to "Advanced <<" when the Advanced section is open), or be replaced with a disclosure triangle. - It's actually quite disorientating that the 'advanced' panel opens 'up the way' rather than extending the dialog downwards-- it took me a couple of tries before I could even see what had happened when I pressed the button. - "Advanced" button, "Run in terminal" require an access keys. (So does "Browse", but I guess that's GNOMEFileSelector's problem). - "Execute" button should be re-labelled "_Run", partly because it's the "Run Program" dialog, and partly because 'execute' is one of those violent words frowned upon by the styleguide :)
Attached patch fixes all except placement of Advanced options
Created attachment 6690 [details] [review] add mnemonics to labels, and use label instead of column heading
