This can be a good place to discuss issues, but to have a chance of getting things actually moving, the specific projects mailing list and bug tracker (ask me off list if you need further explanation) are better places. > I think it's a real usability issue that clicking ANYTHING while a > slideshow is playing exits the slideshow, even a right click. I'd say everything that is not used in another way during a slide show should quit it. With the exception of mouse movement, as that happens too easily. This way a discoverability problem is avoided. You don't want the user struggling to get out of the slide show. > A typical user will expect a right click to bring up a context menu with > some options, such as adjusting size, pausing, and shuffle options. The > first time I used it I was really surprised to see it exiting. Now if a context menu makes sense - and it surely does - it should take right click. Also, it should be limited to actions / options considering the slide show, advanced stuff is likely better handled outside. > Wouldn't it be more usable to exit on double click? It shouldn't be limited to double click, see above. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
