[opensuse-buildservice] Beta user interface: placement of "actions for this page"
Hi all, I've checked out the user interface overhaul behind the beta switch, and I have to comment on a specific point: the placement of the "actions on this page" in the sidebar. It is quite understandable to have the "global" actions, e.g. "Places", in the sidebar, which constitutes the top level of the page's "navigational hierarchy". However, it is very puzzling to have to find the actions that pertain to *usually just a tab* of the current page (but not all of them!) there. I understand the desire to fill the sidebar, but it is really breaking the hierarchy. To make it clearer what I mean, let's take the overview page for a package, where the sidebar has actions such as "delete package". The tab bar at the top changes what actions are available, but is below the sidebar in the hierarchy. On the other hand, there are also a lot of actions which are *not* in the sidebar, such as "Download package" and "Add file". On other tabs such as "Users", most of the actions (editing, deleting) are inline, while the "add" action is in the sidebar, quite far away. It is, all in all, quite hard to see why some actions have been singled out and moved to a completely different location, while others have stayed. (From a user point of view; I can guess the technical side.)
