[ui-review] File types and programs UI issues
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
UI Review: - Treeview needs sortable columns -- nice to be able to sort by extension - Treeview needs alternate stripey row entry things - applications:/// server-settings:/// start-here:/// preferences:/// trash:/// and system-settings:/// don't have descriptions - Add File type's No Icon doesn't have a mnemonic --- give it a label and left align it? - Should use new HIG borderless frame dialog style - s/Filename extensions:/Filename Extensions - s/Run in Terminal/Run in a terminal - Choose a file category needs a window icon - Should have an 'Add' button -- not obvious you need to type extension and then hit 'return' - s/Add:/Extension:/ if 'Add' button is included - If you add an image to a file type, then go back into the choose image dialog, unset the image and return, the image is still on the button - Actions frame is completely non-intuitive - What does 'Content Loser', 'View as Sample', 'View as Text', 'None' do? -- potential conflict with panel menu - Add Service needs a window icon - Borderless frames - s/Run in Terminal/Run in a terminal - s/Program:/Command:=20 -- since you might need to add arguments? -- consistancy with default applications - Not sure what 'Custom' is supposed to represent -- insensitive widget :(
Regarding s/Run in Terminal/Run in a terminal, the Run dialog currently says "Run in terminal" not "Run in a terminal" (unless there's been a recent change). Whatever the text is, it should be the same in all instances.

This dialog has gone off the deep end, closing.
