Hi Eddy,

I`m sorry, but that does not make sense to me. Actually I have found myself
quite often almost clicking ADD when I wanted to perform an operation on
the current document, like Edit or something from More Actions.
At least if we`d group actions related to the current document somehow, but
in no ways is it correct from my POV to have:
1 action for the current document, 1 action *not* for the current document
and then "more actions" *for the current document*. It's like an usability
"roller coaster".
One not so great solution for the "roller coaster" problem would be to have
the Add button first in the list. At least the focus would shift only once.
Thanks,
Eduard
Hi devs,
I`m not sure if we already have a discussion started on this topic, but
in
my opinion, it's long overdue. I see people
start being confused and
questions like this [1] start to be asked.
The new location of the Add menu in Flamingo is problematic IMO for a
various number of reasons:
- It falsely gives the impression that it adds page-related entries (i.e.
related to the current page), due to its current location (i.e. in the
page
content)
- It conflicts with AWM`s "Add new Entry" button
- from my POV, looking at the page from a far, the new location looks
completely randomly selected:
-- It's not on the left/top (as left-to-right language specific brains
are
trained to follow)
-- it's not exactly at the top either
-- it's not at the right
-- it's not next to the type of elements it creates (i.e. next to
WIKI/SPACE/PAGE)
-- it basically is almost in the middle of the screen
- etc. (i.e. others that don`t come right now to my mind)
Personally, I like the fact that it is located near the Edit button, even
if it does not concern the current page. Because it groups the most basic
and useful actions that you need when you want to contribute: EDIT, ADD.
To me, it makes sense.
I`d like to open a discussion on this, since it's quite an important
aspect
of the UI and, due to it's shiny green color
(which I like :)), it`s hard
to miss.
Is it just me who's resistant to change, or do others see a problem here
with this as well?
Thanks,
Eduard
