Thanks for testing it! This bug is now fixed (i.e. now it is under "Hardware").
I installed it again and now is in proper place :-) Problem with your model where buttons are part of the sentence, is that one has to get used to read whole text like butons are not there, and that is where I have difficulties. For instance: _________________________________________________________________________ If your connection is not shown, try |More Connections| or use |Connection Wizard| _________________________________________________________________________ Will be much better to start on left side and skip "or use" at minimum. Actually a bit more change in wording will be better: _________________________________________________________________________ If you don't see your printer, try |More Connections||Connection Wizard| _________________________________________________________________________ The printer is what any user will assume that is presented in the list, not connection to the printer. Small inaccuracy that will prevent a lot of confusion. For instance if I would have to give phone support to someone, which question will bring me right answer: 1) "Do you see printer connection listed?" or 2) "Do you see printer listed?" I'm sure that some will give right answer on 1) just because they will assume that "printer connection" is geek speak for printer, but most will reply with question: "What connection?", and I'm pretty sure that second will bring right answer 99% of the time. For me this is way better than sparse |More Connections||Connection Wizard| as it includes answer to question that every user will have if there is no printer in the list. Also, there must be available action if it is presented only/also old printer that is still hanging in database, but it i not currently connected.
What do you think about "Iteration 5" which is not just an experiment but intended for the official new version.
In particular I am interested what you think about the "Overview" together with "Remote Access" and "Print via Network".
Do you understand what the meaning behind is or do you feel confused?
This is what I wrote by now. I need more time to see everything. I guess that just "I like - don't like" is not what you are looking for. Overview: It is clean, though I would prefer your approach as it gives answers, on immediate question if something doesn't look right. Some wording changes might be helpful, though. "Printers configured on other Computers" ... that you can use. "Printers available on other Computers" "Other printers that are available" "Other printers that you can use" For me, this would mean that only printers that one can actually use are in the list. I'll go trough Overview and other 2 when I find some time for detailed look, ie. time to think of different paths that printer installation goes trough, and see what I would need know to select right action. I'll attempt to use above mentioned phone support use case also. BTW, in recently published image: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Printer_jsmeix_driver_options_squashed_combo_bo... for driver options it is probably better to list all in 2 columns, if YaST allows this. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ux+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ux+help@opensuse.org
