Hello all, QGIS 3 is getting lots of love, and we are seeing new features being added, some legacy code being clean up, and so on. We are all aware that this will break the 2.x API, but now it's the time for it. So I wondered if this is not the perfect time to think about some UI/UX changes as well, as it will lead to more work in translation and Documentation. Could we do a list of UI/UX stuff that we could improve? I can think of a few things: *Consistency* - "search", "select" and "browse" for browsing files; - "Add saved file to map", "Load into canvas when finished", "Open output file after running algorithm"; - there is more of these for sure; *Help and Documentation* - Most of our help buttons lead to nowhere, we already talked about pointing them to the User's Manual online (although we would need a solution for working with it offline and in different languages) *Defaults* - Should default selection color not be opaque? - Showing only selected features vertexes by default? - Map template, we could provide a very simple template as default (I think there was already some discussion about this); Most people I see gets very confused when they see a completely empty page. Here's another idea for a great project t which doesn't involve c++/python: check through and delete unused png icons. A lot of the old png icons have been replaced with proper svg versions, but the pngs are still included and in some cases they are incorrectly used instead of the svg replacements. Identifying these would be a matter of going though each png icon in the repo and searching through the code (eg via "git grep mactionrefresh.png") to see if they are still used anywhere. (Ignore any hits in the resources files!) . If they aren't they can be safely removed. If they are, you could check whether a suitable svg replacement can be used. The more pngs we remove the easier it will be to identify which remaining icons require vector versions.
