In our case the advantages would be: * more efficiency as the user doesn't need to search through nine modules in the control centre as modules for less frequent actions are integrated into software management module * conformity with user expectations (software management includes everything I need to manage my software) * clearer structure of control centre because of less modules The disadvantages are: * users need to learn about the new ways of software management * new module might look overcrowded To be honest, integrating anything into the current software management UI would be a mess, as the current layout is already quite complex. Therefore I suggest a simplification of the software management module and an integration of all software management related functions: http://en.opensuse.org/Usability/Softwaremanagement#Simplifying_Software_Man... The basic concept is: * searching and browsing of packages is the core function of software management and therefore prominent * less frequently used functions are moved to the menu bar Search and browse tabs: * The somewhat difficult to understand status icons (install, taboo) are acompanied by some description to make them easier understandable (please not, that the icons used in the mockup are not the original ones because I was not able to find them) * Search settings includes options for "Search in" (name, summary, description, RPM provides, RPM requires), "Search Mode", case sensitve yes/no. I chose status, package name and summary as columns because they seem most important to me and this amount of columns doesn't force the user to scroll horizontically (which, I think, we all agree, is something that should be avoided if possible :-)) If you like to include other columns (available/installed version, size,...) please let me know. * Disk usage was dropped. I think that in times of the current storage prices, this overview is outdated * Dependency checks moved to the menu. I suppose that most users will use autocheck. For those who prefer a manual check, maybe we can create a shortcut The menu bar (please note that some entries will have check boxes (e.g. autocheck dependencies) I was just not able to create them with qt designer) * Software: includes all settings from current software management module. The package all in this lists option can be integrated into the "package" sub menu. Mge came once up with the idea to connect software management with bugzilla, so I put a "Report a Bug" item. * Online Update: "run online update" and "settings" will start the corresponding YaST modules * Novell Customer Center: "Register" starts corresponding YaST module, "Start NCC" opens NCC in a browser. Maybe this menu point is more interesting for SLES and if there is any need to hide the term registration from the community users, then we just give the baby a different name :-) * Repositories: opens the corresponding YaST module. I suggest to integrate the repositories according to the suggestions above. -- 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.
