A assume that "next to root password" means one additional step after setting the root password. That would be the easiest option to implement, but I kind of dislike having an extra screen for such a small and "obscure" setting.
No, it's definitely not about adding yet another empty dialog. Next to, is "close to".
I believe it belongs to the summary screen because: - Many users will not know what it's about - The default value is good for most cases, a few users would change it
Then I hope you will get the blessing from Ken later as what I remember, he wanted to remove as much from the summary as possible.
If "next to root password" means in the same step that setting the root password, I have even more reasons to dislike it. :-)
I believe you do, but as you did not write any of them here, it's hard to compare what is worse :)
In addition to the already commented reasons (obscure and usually not changed): - The root password step is currently skipped in some cases (like if "use this password for root" in checked when creating user) - It's abusing a single step that now has a clear goal to do two different things
Anyway, I'm neither a designer nor a usability expert, although I've already done quite some bad UI and learned from that a bit. If I knew how to make a simply-looking and understandable UI while having all the requested features, I would probably win a Nobel prize for design!
Yeah, quite challenging. Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
