In one situation you can get three levels of Tabbed dialogs which is frankly insane but Alexandre has worked on this and hopefully his work can be put into practice.
I wish I was that good man, but I'm not :) It's Andreas Nilsson
concepts. A good book on user interface design would probably be more pleasant to read though and just as informative.
I encourage you to read http://www.martianrock.com/?p=107 first :)
need a submenu "View, Zoom" (short version, long versions will require a little more thought and reorganisation)
nice point
keybindings are not configurable, forces developers to try and hardcode defaults for everything cannot please everyone.
Will be implemented by our gtkmm wizards. I remember myself showing Bryce screenshot from Audacity and/or Scribus where it is implemented and I remember him agree to go that way.
the old F1 ... keybindings are a bit weird, and I will bet the target audience of former Sodipodi and Corel Draw users is smaller than the Illustrator/Freehand audience.
true
freehand/draw bezier/text tools have nothing on the command bar.
true
colour picker has only one item.
what else would you like to see there? ;)
Help, Modifying and Redistributing Inkscape. :( must resist urge to kill
Yes, I even I translate it simply as "License" into Russian :)
"Help, About memory" is not a useful user (artist not developer user) feature should at the very least be hidden from release builds (this is what I was referring to earlier).
Not really. Please remember that Inkscape hasn't reached 1.O yet and users are supposed to use things like these to help developers. Or do you prefer to wait for gnome/kde system monitor to start just to make sure Inkscape isn't eating all the memory?
Help About Inkscape. I'd prefer if this were simply Help, About like most Gnome programs. Stock items make less translation work. I strongly recommend implementing the standard GtkAbout dialog. The standard dialog provides version and contact information that can be easily cut and paste out of the dialog. The inkscape about dialog does not. use the standard dialog, make work then make it pretty later.
I remember discussion when a GIMP like About dialog was suggested to be used.
Rulers are ugly. Turn them off by default.
Excuse me? How are users supposed to add guidelines? :))))
The word metadata is jargon and we should not need to use it in the user interface.
Uhm, not really jargon.
Fill and Stroke, Swatches, Object Properties are all palettes/docks and should probably be under view rather than Object.
Yes
"Help, Keys and Mouse" doesn't make sense, needs a better label.
I would move it to 'Manuals' (or whatever it's in English) submenu.
