Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 186172
Interface Tweaks for Ease-of-Use
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:32 EDT
Description of problem: This program is working well for updating packages and installing new ones. However, it does seem like it would be difficult for a new user to lose. I think a big of rethinking could be done, perhaps taking a look from Yumex. As most apps, perhaps the side buttons could be moved to the top, although that's just preference. Also, I think a "search" box, instead of having to use Control+F, would be greatly useful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest Additional Info: I would be happy to help with some more concrete ideas of how to make this app just a bit more straightforward, for ease of use and new users. Just let me know if I can help in any way!
There has been some discussion of moving to tabs instead of the buttons along the side, although nothing concrete has been decided there yet. As for a search box, what would it provide that isn't available in the existing search functionality?
