Hei Michael, so finally I tested the new buffer dialog.
I think its fine and in this case it makes sense. The graphics are very helpful as they change with each option. But yes, we need to be careful in not having too many options - so that the user does not need to guess what he needs to change for running the function. On the other hand its important that the user knows what options are all set automatically to explain differences in results (from an academic & educational perspective) cheers stefan Am 13.12.11 08:10, schrieb Michaël Michaud: > Hi Stefan, >> I will have a look at it the next days... and am a bit skeptical to >> merge too many things (using rather the rule: more functions but simple >> to use). but it may make sense here. >> If I am not getting back on that in until monday please remind my. > Any thought on that question ? > > I understand your argument about keeping plugins simple and easy to use. > One advantage of combining several options in a single plugin, is that each > option "multiply" capabilities.
