Meeting theme: Usability Bugs!

Proposed window bar layout (part of Bug 187233)

Make often used/primary actions (e. g. "empty trash") more prominent

  • Issue: In context and menubar menus, the most common actions could be more prominently displayed to help users more quickly identify them, and to help them make a decision
  • Action: NSaibot to coordinate with others and come up with mockups/screenshots of different design ideas to be discussed at the next meeting.

Konqueror's "save password" dialog is unintuitive

Keyboard's "Super" key doesn't launch Kmenu

  • Bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154564
  • Issue: Cannot launch Kmenu from single key because the System key is a modifier. Needs to be fixed at the kdelibs level (kdeui/dialogs/kshortcutsdialog.cpp?).
  • Action: seele to contact mjansen to discuss problem

Select/enter newly created folder/file automatically

  • Bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155706
  • Proposal: When a new folder is created, the user should automatically be entered in to the new folder.
  • Resolution: On new folder creationg: Dolphin selects folder, File Save enters folder. New folder functionality will be removed from File Open.
  • sreich to discuss with dfaure and submit patch
