Instead of this there should be a warning icon * secondly the pop-up does not make sense semantically either: "Apply, Cancel, Finish" are no appropriate answers to the question "Do you really want to...?". Yes/No makes much more sense. Concerning the workflow: I fully agree with Tanja. It is highly confusing and we should avoid these kind of traps for the redesign and in the current module. Even it does not make sense from a technical perspective it is the users perspective and expectations we need to take into account. I suggest to fix this according to Tanja's ideas. -- 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.

In that case it's very convenient and speedy if the user can apply changes and then continue making further changes. -- 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.

Not only has it totally wrong and confusing button set, but it also present crucial information in very limited space. IMAO information of such relevance ('all the movies on your disk will be wiped out') does not belong to the tiny popup, but deserves full-screen summary, much like e.g. yast2-firewall has. Just an idea: After clicking on 'Accept' *) in the main dialog (I'm referring to these slides: http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/8/87/Partitioner_pres15.pdf) a full screen summary dialog like this would appear +---------------------------------------------+ |Summary of changes: | | * /dev/sdaX will be deleted | | * /dev/sdaY will be formatted as reiserfs | | * something else happens etc. | | | | | | | | | | [Help] [Back][Abort][Finish]| +---------------------------------------------+ Now after seeing comprehensive summary of all changes, user could either change his mind and go 'Back' to revisit changes, 'Abort' the whole modules (throwing away the changes), or 'Finish' and apply the changes. This is an approach consistent with the rest of YaST (ad comment #2 - this popup has been removed from package selector recently as it was found quite useless :) ) Martin: can we include some ideas for summary screen (be it popup - which I don't quite like - or a full screen) in our mockups mentioned above? (*) Now we should probably rename it to 'Next' -- 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.

So I still have to leave the partitioner with Abort, though my changes have been saved. So I guess I have to open the same bug for openSUSE 11.1 or what would be the correct Bugzilla procedure now?
