https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=287872 Summary: yast-gtk frontend for software management is unusable Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jfriedl@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Documentation GTK YaST package selector is unusable. The interface is confusing. The idea of two lists of software (Available and Installed) is confusing. I do not want to pay attention to two different lists which need to be mentally diffed. If i search for some term and get number of packages as a result, I want to see them in a single list - with icons showing their state (installed, uninstalled, will be installed, will be uninstalled etc.). I also hate the fact i see only few packages in each list - because each package entry consists of multiple lines. The dialog is also very slow. Waiting for the list to show the package which got focus in the other list is painful. Switching between "plain list" and "in patterns" is extremely slow. If the goal was to make the interface simpler than yast-qt's, the goal wasnt achieved. The interface has fewer features, yet it is harder to use, less intuitive and more confusing. I didnt even get what does those two triangles in package entries in the first list mean. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
