OK I think that is so unintuative that there is no way most customers are going to figure it out. So I'm leaving this bug open and changing the summary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ricardo - any chance of a bigger "install" button somewhere more visible ? Can we put it beside the Filter combo ? perhaps with three icon: install, update, remove - make them always visible - and change their sensitivity as we go [ can be duplicate icons perhaps ? ] - the Gnome HIG suggests not hiding & showing the UI as much as possible, but de-sensitising it appropriately. Another thing that would be extremely helpful [I think], would be to make the existing buttons insensitive when there is nothing selected - such that when someone clicks on one - at least the existing icon changes to sensitive - alerting people that something is now possible :-) I played with the latter suggestion: --- src/YGPackageSelector.cc (revision 47549) +++ src/YGPackageSelector.cc (working copy) @@ -1606,6 +1606,10 @@ void setPackages (const PkgList &packages) { m_packages = packages; + + gtk_widget_set_sensitive (m_installed_box, !packages.empty()); + gtk_widget_set_sensitive (m_available_box, !packages.empty()); + if (packages.empty()) return; The problem is that the information in the bottom PackageControl can get stale - since it's not flushed / hidden on package de-selection (as we see above). Perhaps a solution would be to switch the layout: put the action buttons on the left side of the package description (so the eye sees them first) - and add move the action items to the left side too. Perhaps also replacing the version combo-button with a "click to install" type button would work - or even making the install button bigger ? :-) Another useful hint here I think would be to de-sensitise the "Apply" button when there is no transaction - that should alert people to the fact that they need to do something more I guess :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

...

The problem is that the information in the bottom PackageControl can get stale - since it's not flushed / hidden on package de-selection (as we see above).

Some reporter asked for it. Well, he didn't want it to get hidden... I guess we can change that, but that solution isn't good at all, because e.g. we don't set the available field insensitive if there is no package available in the repositories. We just hide it, so we'd have to change that as well. And we should clear the descriptions. I'd love to change the interface to the reporter's liking; unfortunately, we are in the Beta stage of development, so that's not possible. :P But seriously, graying out the Apply button until we have some changes sounds cool, and I guess that would remove any distraction it presents. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
