Just wondering... why is it that the Gnome version of YAST is so dramatically different from the KDE one in openSUSE 10.3 Beta3?
It was designed to be similar to the gnome control center
I haven't used Gnome on SUSE in a very long time, but I don't remember YAST being any different between KDE and Gnome in previous versions. The Gnome version of YAST is unwieldy and hard to use - not that the KDE one is a good example, but it is certainly much much better than the Gnome one.
There was no gnome version of YaST in the past, so that is why there was no difference :)
Isn't it a bit of a major usability issue if the core tools that set SUSE apart from all the other distributions are so inconsistent/different?
It is consistent with gnome, I guess that was the idea
Also.. who thought that the Gnome version of YAST software installer is a good thing? Was it actually tested with users? Does anyone else find it to be a very poor UI design?
I'm not sure which one you are thinking of. The one I've seen is very similar to what is in other gnome based distros, like ubuntu. No, I don't like it either, but gnome users seem to like it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
