this could be circumvented by making the checkbox befor the layers selection aware .. easy to do and one point less in the context menu .. >> from my users side of view I can say that I use context menu, button and >> also EZ-Buttons...it depends on the functions I want to use and what I can >> reach faster.

Just the option that I discovered first or that has been shown Generally it makes sense to "train" users by providing an intuitively understandable way of distributing functionality over the UI. It helps if a functionality is only available at one point in the UI to avoid confusion. I'd suggest to take this issue as a reason to cleanup and reorder the context menu. - Look for doubled entries and decide to put them only in Layer or context menu. - Group similar items together (e.g. editable, selectable, viewable) - separate different groups by lines to enhance usablity (less groups=less lines) ..ede ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Jump-pilot-devel mailing list Jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel
