Wow, major, and I mean MAJOR thinko on my part: upon closer inspection for the umpteenth time, I noticed that what I thought was the address, was actually just the *label*... the address it was pointing to was my home directory on local machine. The reason I didn't notice was that I always attempted to do the hotlist invocation from my home dir, hence nothing appeared to be changing. The wierd thing was I've done this test around 10 times now, every time doing it the same way, and every time missing the same clues. I think the whole thing started when I decided to try out a /#ftp link in the hotlist, so I went to the hotlist and hit... "A" for "add". Was utterly blinded to the word "current" following it; a case of user expectation leading to overly quick parsing of options. I think the layout in that screen of the options is a bit weak. I realize that such evaluations are to a large extent subjective, so take the following with a grain of salt. To my eyes a better layout of options in the hotlist screen would be if "New Entry" and "Add Current" were on the same line, and named in a similar fashion; both these changes would strongly hint at the close relationship, similarity between these two actions; e.g.: "Add" and "Add Current"... As is, there is no visual indication the two options do nearly identical task; one has to actually parse and interpret the words to realize this nature. Anyhow, my 2c. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
