That opens a question - what can we do to prevent our users to get lost in the new UI? For me, that actually splits in two questions:
1) What can we adjust in the UI to make the transition smoother and/or to improve usability in general?
In this regard, maybe we should reconsider the approach of our current help texts in the Partitioner. When the users clicks on "help" they get a description about the content of the particular table that is currently on the screen and about the columns it contains. That's for sure useful but there is no general explanation, in the Help button or anywhere else, about how the whole Partitioner UI is organized. Nothing mentions the menu or the left tree. No way to get a general overview on how to navigate the UI.
I tried to fix that with new help texts. Please check and provide feedback https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/pull/1208
Or maybe all that is irrelevant because nobody uses the help anyways. I don't know.
Or maybe we could have such explanation accessible through a different more prominent button than the Help one (which I feel has become part of the general landscape and nobody sees it anymore)...
I have been playing with the idea of a more powerful help dialog that can contain hyperlinks to additional content (like a "guided tour") or similar fancy stuff. But I discarded it for the time being. See the thread "The YaST Wizard and the help pop-up" in this same ML. https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/yast-devel@lists.opensuse.org/threa...
