Photos public beta - GUI mistakes
Photos PUBLIC beta They removed drag and drop functionality and a finder like side bar. These omissions make this the most un-Mac like application Apple has ever created. They use TWO identical and very closely situated " + " buttons to replace the above functionality. I believe this is likely the greatest GUI design mistake of all time, regardless of the platform. Not to mention if you lucky enough to pick the appropriate " + " button for the task you desire , it requires many "mousing" clicks to do something that previously was simple and intuitive with "drag and drop" AND totally consistent with the Mac OS X finder sidebar for organizing items. Oh, and If you make a mistake and choose the wrong " + " button you lose your selections and have to start over.

It does not display by default on my MacBook Pro, but does on my 27” iMac; either way ⌘⌥S toggles it. Not sure about Drag-and-drop as I can’t remember the last Time I used that. > They use TWO identical and very closely situated " + " buttons to replace the > above functionality. What? I only see one ‘+’ button, it’s on top on the right, to the left of the share and search. > I believe this is likely the greatest GUI design mistake of all time, > regardless of the platform.

No idea what you are talking about. I just drug a photo into Photos and had no issue at all. > Oh, and If you make a mistake and choose the wrong " + " button you lose your > selections and have to start over. I think you need to describe much better what you are doing. -- perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren't also dangerous, just because reading them didn't make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain. --Soul Music ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk

I don’t have it installed yet - waiting to hear what beta testers are saying. So, are you able to view your ALBUMS in the sidebar (as in the current iPhoto) while looking at contents of a particular album in the main window allowing you to select photos from the main window and drag them into an album in the sidebar? Or do you have to view contents of some album or camera roll, select the ones you want to be contained in some other album, click the action button, scroll to find the album you want, then drop them in somehow? Is that the process now? Or is drag and drop supported from content in the main viewing panel to albums in the sidebar? I’ve been holding out switching to the Photos app because at some point, I need to merge 3 libraries to create one uber library sans duplicates. I hope there is a reliable tool to do that. Then I’ll likely push them to iCloud /Photos app. How is performance? Loading photos on iOS devices? Editing? -K > >> They use TWO identical and very closely situated " + " buttons to replace >> the above functionality. > > What?
