I agree that part needs some love but...
I just got a new test with Leap,
of the three options, the first (Edit Proposal Settings) is of no use there, and it's repeated on Create Partition Setup
It offers a fast and easy way to select the default filesystem, to choose if you want a separate /home partition. I believe it's quite used, in fact.
Expert Partitioner
is not really for expert, as it simply shows the present situation *and mount points filled*, so it simply is a "Edit proposal Settings"
The expert partitioner allows you to create/resize/delete partitions, to define encryption, software RAID, LVM... Almost the opposite of "not for experts" or "simply shows the present situation".
Create Partition Setup
first option: use disk:
It's true that you can also reach the proposal settings from here. But I think there are some non-obvious differences.
second option: true expert place
This takes you to the same point than "expert partitioner". Why is this the "true" real expert place compared to the previous one? Is the same dialog with the same options.
so two possibility (among many):
* very simple: just edit the first screen mockup, remove the menu entry "Edit Proposal Settings", change the menu entry "Expert Partitioner" to the name "Edit Proposal Settings". So two options in place of three...
* much more work: do the first point, then rethink the "Create Partition Setup", select hard disk and go next (without selecting expert). This would need much more discussion, not fitted here and much more work.
this makes expert seems to be a step more deep (but it was already there). Anyway no expert mode should be too easily accessible.
(did not look at TW. Is your new work visible on some TW version?) thanks jdd
In short. Yes, this needs to be improved but we need a better analysis about the available options and why are they there. They are clearly counterintuitive, since I honestly think you misunderstood most of them. ;-) To late for this sprint (already started yesterday)... but maybe for the next one.
