As likely everybody in this list knows, we changed the user interface of the Partitioner... The openSUSE installation expert partitioner /was/ highly agreeable to me. The only things I found lacking were [1], and Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia's installer cmdline option that limits its partitioner to only accepting designation of mount points, mount options, and whether to reformat any existing partition; powerless to alter, add or remove any partition.
Nothing about the changes I noticed in the 20210210 15.3 DVD installation installer's expert partitioner do I prefer to what was.
Very much missed are the instantly available at the bottom left: summary and settings, where I would always change mounting default to by LABEL and type to EXT4, and double check before proceeding from partitioning to next step that I
Those options are now placed in the new menu bar at top: * View -> Settings * View -> Installation Summary
made no serious typos or omissions. I loath having to choose to click a back button, which in the past more than once has caused all my work to that point to be discarded. Also missed is ability to see all partitions on all SATA and NVME disks at once, while excluding the installation USB partitions not to be considered for the to-be-installed system.
I think you can see all partitions at once when you select "Hard Disks" or even "All Devices" on the left tree. Maybe the partitions are collapsed in the table? We are improving the criteria to auto-collapse entries.
[1] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1101756 seems not to have been addressed, bad for multibooters.
OT: At the very least, give some contrast to the bottom right buttons. Gray on off-white is merely bothersome. Off-white on pale green is very poor. The green is so pale that black would be better than pure white. It looks as if its contrast has been reduced as often happens when some other action is required before it can be selected.
I don't like how deep I have to go into network configuration to setup static when all the static IP settings have already been provided via installer cmdline options.
Thanks for your feedback. We will take it into account. Iván -- José Iván López González YaST Team at SUSE LINUX GmbH IRC: jilopez
