Still a problem in Ubuntu 12.04. Specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=diff&rev2=660&rev1=659>
** Description changed: User testing of Ubuntu Software Center consistently shows that some people think they can launch an application by clicking the screenshot. This problem has previously been observed by people testing on-screen help. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHelp/UsingScreenshots> I thought I could get around it in USC 3.0 by showing only a small clickable thumbnail, but that isn't working. So, we need to try something else. In usability testing of Ubuntu 12.04 beta, one of the 15 testers still clicked on the screenshot. "I can't open it. It's a bit weird." + + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#gallery>: "To emphasize that it + is a gallery, the gallery should include thumbnails of each item even if + there is only one. The currently displayed media, and each thumbnail, + should each appear inside an inset border, with the border of the + focused item highlighted." ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691594 Title: Screenshots are confused with applications Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: User testing of Ubuntu Software Center consistently shows that some people think they can launch an application by clicking the screenshot.
