GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 205477
Merge Screens in the Import Wizard
Last modified: 2009-12-10 17:06:24 UTC
On the scond screen of the Import Wizard the Next button should be changed to a "Import" button and the third screen should be removed.
I'm guessing that this is important but too big a change for 1.0. Is that correct?
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to 'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under the following circumstances: 1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not have to be changed in any way.) 2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should probably not make any such changes. Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to prioritize our limited resources.
This seems to be the behaviour still in 1.1.0.99. I don't think this is not important change at all. It was first time I tested the Import wizard and it looks logical. I'll change this to wishlist. Feel free to comment if you have other thoughts.
evo-2.2: on the second page, i can choose between importing settings from apps or just importing single files. on the third page, i will get informed about possible apps found on my system, or i can choose which file to import and which type. so is this one here still valid or can we close it?
Apologies for any spam... cc'ing usability-maint on all Evolution usability bugs. Filter on EVO-USABILITY-SPAM to ignore.
it's pretty annoying currently (2.4.0), i'm clicking like stupid. my suggestions: merge the first and second screen (the welcoming message and the "choose between application settings and single file" dialog). also merge the 4th screen ("choose folder where to place the imported file") and the 5th screen (Click "import" to finally import the file to evolution), please. ...so there would be 3 instead of 5 endless screens.
I'm WontFix-ing this. Thinking of it a bit after reading this [1] I would say the actual Assistant in Evolution conforms to H.I.G. quite well. The only thing which might be changed probably is the preselected import type. From my point of view the "Import a single file" should be listed first and be preselected, as I believe one is more often importing individual files than settings from other applications.
