Hello, Due to work I couldn't be there but I have some comments to add: On Wed, 2002-05-15 at 22:44, Glynn Foster wrote: > http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~gfoster/ui-review/ui-review-panel.txt > http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~gfoster/ui-review/ui-review-nautilus.txt Empty Trash Dialog - ================ (...) Default response should be 'Empty' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Erms... hello?? :) The most destructive options should NEVER be the default action! I think it's pretty clear why :)... remember that recovering files is pretty hard... so the dialog's only reason to exist is give an ultimate last option out! Plus, the user can set the option of not showing the confirm dialog, so that's one more reason to not set the most destructive option as the default. Also about nautilus and gnome, I think that having "Use Default Background" and "Change Desktop Background" in the root window context menu is a little unecessary. I suggest using: |(...) | +-------------------------+ |Change Desktop Background| --> desktop background capplet |Change Preferences | --> launch window on 'preferences:' +-------------------------+ Rationale: * the old first option should be directly accessed through the old second option. It is not, currently, but it should be. * Enven though this could be said as well of the new layout, changing the background seems (IMHO) something more frequent than changing desktop settings, thus being relevant to maintain. * The second option (maybe the label could/should change) seems like a natural contextual option... I think that this change is a Good Thing. Although the number of choices doesn't decrease, it gives a direct access to changing preferences, but probably there's no time for it in 2.0.0... but it's not really so important, so there's no stress. If the change can still get in, cool, if not, for 2.0.1.
