The main strength of menus is cramming lots of options in a small space. What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts. I particularly hate cascading menus because of the tendency of the subordinate menu to dissappear if you do not move the mouse precisely enough, especially on high res screens with small text. Also any hierarchical setup makes finding the subordinate items very hard, as it is very difficult to traverse a complex tree and remember where you have already been. Thats another pet hate of mine - the awful Unix directory structure, with its /lib/bin/share/bin/lib" structure. e.g. Is it in /lib/bin/hotplug or /lib/hotplug/bin or /lib/sbin/local/share/hotplug or lib/hotplug/local/bin/share etc... I think you get the point. Probably i am too impatient and menus are best when used sedately.
i dont like menus. i would rather have big keyboard keys with big labels. more like 30 function keys. nobody will make any mistakes with that. -- the thing i like with my linux pc is that i can sum up my complaints in 5 items _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
