Hi all,
I am about to make the enigmail UI more convenient/self-explaining.
So, I have the following problem:
I want to give three choices for encryption (and other options):
1) use default setting and rules
2) turn encryption on
3) turn encryption off
Unfortunately there is no 3-way-toggle button.
But I want to give these three options in a menu.
So, which approach is the best:
a) 2 menu entries which you can turn on and off:
-----------------------
force to encrypt
force not to encrypt
-----------------------
and you can select at most one of them
- selecting one disables the other if selected
- clicking on a selected entry turns it off
So possible states are:
-----------------------
force to encrypt
force not to encrypt
-----------------------
-----------------------
x force to encrypt
force not to encrypt
-----------------------
-----------------------
force to encrypt
x force not to encrypt
-----------------------
If neither of them is ON, default settings are used.
b) 3 menu entries where you can select exactly one:
-----------------------
use defaults and rules for encryption
force to encrypt
force not to encrypt
-----------------------
So possible states are:
-----------------------
x use defaults and rules for encryption
force to encrypt
force not to encrypt
-----------------------
-----------------------
use defaults and rules for encryption
x force to encrypt
force not to encrypt
-----------------------
-----------------------
use defaults and rules for encryption
force to encrypt
x force not to encrypt
-----------------------
c) 4 menu entries (one for the topic, three for the choices)
-----------------------
send encrypted
according to defaults and rules
yes
no
-----------------------
So possible states are:
-----------------------
send encrypted
x according to defaults and rules
yes
no
-----------------------
-----------------------
send encrypted
according to defaults and rules
x yes
no
-----------------------
-----------------------
send encrypted
according to defaults and rules
yes
x no
-----------------------
Note that in the menu we would have these choice for
signing/encryption/PGP/Mime.
Thus, with 4 entries for each topic, we get 12 menu rows.
Or do you even have a better idea?
Best
Nico
