--- Comment #4 from Henrik Fehlauer <rk...@lab12.net> --- > - an accidental click at the wrong position can reset the selection : > thus +/- is moderately usable If this was disabled, how would resetting the selection work? > - Rectangular selection doesn't work well Please clarify what you mean by that. > - files are kept selected : thus we have to unselect them, > else we move accidentally files Not sure what you are talking about. Is this the same as in bug 295411? --- > In fact, I think it's a KDE Framework component issue, > since Dolphin has the same issue. Unfortunately, Gwenview uses custom code, so the issue is only similar in concept and won't be fixed by changing KDE Frameworks. In addition, file management and sorting images are slightly different use cases in terms of specialization. (However, patches for rebasing Gwenview's Browse modes on Dolphin's code would be appreciated, as that would also fix the annoying selection vs. focus problem. Note that KIO also has the stash:/ kioslave nowadays.) > GUI developers should observe how users use software, > i.e. record the screen and look for issues. At least some developers are very well aware how formal usability testing works. Nobody would oppose initiatives like an extensive eyetracking study, but "developers should" and "I will" are two different things. Let me know if you want to spearhead such an effort and need some tips. > It's a typical FOSS issue : not enough resources / developers to polish GUI This has nothing to do with FOSS at all. There are terrible closed source GUIs and excellent free software GUIs. Also, please keep the discussion in this bug about the issue at hand. If you want to change how KDE develops software, propose something on the mailing list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
