Bug ID: 490999
Summary: Improve usability of Export PDF dialog
Classification: Applications
Product: Skanpage
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: a.stipp...@gmx.net
Reporter: m.lince...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
First let me mention that I appreciate quite a lot the design and overall
usability of Skanpage.
I would like however to make a couple (or maybe more) suggestions on how to
improve the "Export PDF" dialog.
The current issues are:
1. right now, one is expected to edit both the title and the filename to make
the document unique;
2. directory path and filename are edited using a single box, while in general
one saves multiple documents on the same directory (i.e. the directory mostly
changes once per session, the filename changes always);
3. the `file://` prefix is redundant and confusing.
Possible solutions / proposals:
1. by default, derive the filename from the title, so that editing the title is
sufficient to create a custom filename;
1a. yet, allow to edit the filename manually, maybe there could be an "auto"
mode where the filename is derived from the title and "greyed out", plus an
option to make it editable.
2. make directory and filename two separate boxes (I guess this could go well
together with 1a);
3. either (i) use a drop down menu with the supported protocols, defaulting to
`file://`, or (ii) hide the protocol when, and only when, it's `file://`.
I hope these suggestions can be helpful and thank you in advance for taking
them (potentially) in consideration.
