Add a combo box with values like "Show this summary", "Start again", "Finish"
There is "Configuration" menu item at the top of YaST Software Management (YSM) window which is item that should be used to open configuration window which will hold all configuration options. In other words instead of patching just this particular issue we are better off to take slower approach and rework GUI to fit user expectations that were created with other GUI applications. There is even more then menu items, for instance, buttons in YaST Software Management and summary screen need help too. ------------------------------- YaST Software Management: "Cancel" "Accept" should be "Cancel" "Installation" While "Cancel" is clear what it means and it does what user expects, "Accept" is actually wrong. "Accept" implies that installation proposal will be checked and then YSM will ask for final confirmation, similar to one used during openSUSE installation. That confirmation dialog does not exist for a long time, if it ever existed. In other words actual action is installation and button should tell that. ------------------------------- to help confusion, after "Accept" comes "Installation Summary" that can be taken as proposal, not as report about performed installation, and users may consider that "Back" button will allow changes. ------------------------------- Summary screen: "Abort" "Back" "Finish" should be "Abort" "Install more" "Finish" or "Abort" "Install More" "Done" "Back" is used to go back on screens that succeed one after another in order to change previous screen(s) with final goal to have different outcome of setup, or installation. That is how "Back" button is working during installation. On "Installation Summary" screen, going back will not present you with screen that will allow to undo last changes, but with empty YSM screen, which one would expect after pressing button with a name "Install more". ------------------------------- In both of above cases there is no problem with old documentation that is using "Accept" and "Back" as new proposed names don't need further explanation. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
