GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 81821
Gnome-search-tool GUI enhancements
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Recently, the "Run Program..." dialog was redesigned. The new dialog makes use of a disclosure widget. I would like to see gnome-search-tool's GUI similarly redesigned. Gnome-search-tool should not have a simple and advanced tab. The two tabs should be merged, and the rules from the advanced tab should be placed in the disclosure widget. If there is no objection, I will probably implement this new design. (sometime after the 2.0 release)
I don't think anyone will object, Dennis :) That said, I've cc'd usability maint to see if they have any objections, and you may want to search for other usability bugs in gsearchtool to see if there are any other comments/thoughts in them.
