Hi all, I have been making progress in my multiview (i.e. tabs) development branch [1]. If you have a look at the whiteboard on that page you will see a brief status overview (TODO, DONE, etc).
I'd like to bring up the following UI design decisions that need to be made. By the way if these descriptions don't make sense to anybody except me then I apologise :) (1) Open tab on middle click button press or button release? The behaviour in Epiphany is rather inconsistent: history window middle click will activate on button press, "Home" button in toolbar will activate on middle click (i.e. press and release without leaving the button), and "Bookmarks" menu entries will activate on button release (regardless of where you pressed). The current behaviour in my Nautilus branch is to open a tab on button press. I should probably change this to button release, since that is generally the standard for most UIs (although I can't see anything specific in the HIG). What are people's thoughts about this? If button release is preferred then I guess a bug should be filed against the Epiphany history view. (2) Labels for menu items in "Tabs" menu There are really 2 main options for this - either a (semi)-full path like in gnome-terminal (e.g. "~/Pictures/2006/Beach holiday") or just the current folder (e.g. "Beach holiday"). I am leaning towards the former since it is a bit more informative, although the latter is obviously simpler ( and easier to implement ^.^ ). Currently the latter is implemented because I'm lazy. Thoughts? (3) Open tab by middle clicking on folder in main view Currently in Christian's branch this is a double-middle-click, which is inconsistent - to me this operation seems analogous to middle-clicking a hyperlink in Epiphany. I'd like to change this but first I'd like to check what other people think before I blatantly change the UI decision that Christian made :) Cheers, Jared [1] https://code.launchpad.net/~cornflake-pirate/nautilus/multiview-jm -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
