up and down arrow examples #1
hi,
in navigator, "promote and demote" are totally ambiguous...
OKAY: as of v7.1.4, it's already "promote outline level", and move "chapter up"
good move! this part is solved :)
for the record: in v7.0.4 this was not the case yet
now only the icons are problematic, as the "promote outline level" points to
left or right...
the direction, since we move the outline level UP or DOWN,
should also point to up and down...
problematic? you say: "now, this is ambiguity!" ? :)
I suggest a policy: abbreviations, icons should have a meaning which precisely
reflects what's being referenced.. no compromises should be made...
if we can move chapters up/down physically, as well as in the chapter
hierarchy, we should not use left/right arrows just to make the situation
"clearer" :)
and I'm aware, I think, that different sets of icons are in circulation, and
that designers have freedom to interpret the functions (take "save"),
but the developer team could give them directive... as to what and what not to
do :)
both arrow pairs should point up and down... only they shouldn't look
identical...
very little is enough to make them look non-identical...
see attached pic
the empty and full shapes are not cool, cause they suggest different actions of
the same kind...
different sizes or colors would be problematic, too...
(not to mention the different icon sets)
