GIMP | User Interface | 2.8. - Follow-up [Bug 710167] Scale image - enter key inactive but highlighted
Hello all,
Following a remark (not really a bug) I wrote
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710167 /" Scale image - enter
key inactive - must use mouse click//"/
Michael Natterer ask me to write to the gimp-developer mailing list.
/
"maybe we should reevaluate that dialog, can you raise the issue on the
gimp-developer mailing list please? //
//Bugzilla just doesn't have the audience for UI discussions."/
To outline the "bug": I open an image, I use image\scale image menu, I
enter a number for the width and as the button border is
highlighted, I use the key ... and nothing happen.
So I wrote the Bugzilla entry.
For a user point of view it seems that the User Interface is working in
different ways depending of the sub-window/function called.
If I understand Michael, a bug (btw, I was unable to find which one)
was corrected by downgrading the Scale pop-up window, let us say, with
a quick shortcut.
I think that way of doing can be only temporary. All tools in GIMP have
to work in a similar way (from user point of view).
if a user can enter a value for a file name and hit the key
with a highlighted border in the file save function, the same user hope
to be able to enter a width value in the field of the scale function
and immediately after, hit the key with its border already
highlighted, to get Gimp doing the job.
So, I stop my rambling here.
I hope that some of the bests around GIMP U.I. , can put their minds on
this to find the best way. (or discard this, if I am wrong)
