− | '''Icons in the Toolbox:'''
| |
− | * not meaningful enough
| |
− | * should have strong contours, be good metaphors, differentiate by colours
| |
− | * pen and pencil have almost the same angle and colour, at least the colour should be changed
| |
− | * new icons for Dodge or Burn tool and Eraser
| |
− | * Levels, Curves, Threshold represent the dialog window, not the its meaning & function
| |
− | * all the transformation tool look almost the same, the colour is the same, just the details differ
| |
− | * Ink tool would be better represented with a nib
| |
− | * Crop&resize is not enough differentiated from the bg, and it’s difficult to know what it is; traditional two 'L' were better
| |
− | * Measure tool is too complicated, detailed; old one was better (look at www.doc.gimp.org)

− | '''Open Image Window''' <br />
| |
− |
| |
− | Not a native dialog.<br />
| |
− | Left favorite directories, top- path.<br />
| |
− | Doesn’t show files that are shortcuts to folders (in Windows).<br />
| |
− | Maybe GIMP could remember that during one session/ or within one folder we want to see the files in Open dialog sorted by time.<br />
| |
− |
| |
− | * Conclusions<br />
| |
− | Dialog is not the standard dialog of the operating system.<br />
| |
− | Dialogs should be implemented natively (Open and Save dialogs should be implemented according to platform dialogs.).<br />
| |
− | If you have cross platform projects, adopt them to the platform. Do not compromise, so that it fits all of them. <br />

− | '''Acquire Scanner/Camera'''<br />
| |
− |
| |
− | To Scan you need to install SANE plugin.<br />
| |
− | It should show possible devices and let user chose one, knowing what type of device it is.<br />

| |
− | '''Open Location'''<br />
| |
− |
| |
− | Technological solution, there is no user interface solution at all.<br />
| |
− | It’s usefulness is very limited for copy and paste of technical details.<br />
| |
− | Not acceptable is the fact to type the whole http:// by yourself.<br />
| |
− | Too sophisticated. It does the job, but you can’t make any mistake.<br />
| |
− | You should be ale to go to a website and browse your way towards it.<br />
| |
− |
| |
− | It’s also possible to drag and drop an image to toolbox from IE so that it opens, but it doesn’t work for FF.<br />
| |
− |
| |
− | * Conclusions<br />
| |
− | User has to adapt to machine! That’s wrong<br />
| |
− | If dragging and typing are supported, it’s good<br />
| |
− | Maybe there should be a small project to find the solution for mini browser for Open location dialog.<br />
