My objection was that I thought it was duplicating the File->Open File->Save Menu options, a la the new Windoze ribbon interface. Your explanation is for all intents a button copy/paste context menu on the window. Based on that, perhaps my interest is piqued a little more. My concern would be selection context. If you were in f-spot or picasa, what would your selection be? The current photo? An entire album? The auto selection could present confusion to the user. To the power user, I don't see this as an enhancement. IMHO, the Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C key sequences typically are used enough that they can be done by a non-touch typist in during a sandstorm. The noob might might find some novelty if they were comfortable with the context issues. I do REALLY like the idea of global definable window button, tho. Examples that come to mind: Downloads for firefox, upload for f-spot or empathy, quickprint for Office. But given the definable nature, it isn't consistent so might be confusing. It reminds me of the convenience buttons on cell phones. But that a single global button, so the comparison might be stretched. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
