[Bug 344839] Re: Cannot Mount External drive error message is unhelpful
This is a bug in two parts. First is the fact that the drive couldn't mount which is a technical issue of some description. Second is the error message itself which is unhelpful. I appreciate that it isn't always possible to suggest what a user might do to rectify the problem but it is necessary in order to provide a good experience even when things go wrong. As it currently stands the offline equivalent is this: I am sitting on a train on my way from Brighton to London. The announcer apologises that train has encountered a problem and is canceled. I am left standing on a platform trying to find out how to get to work. A better experience is this. I am sitting on a train on my way from Brighton to London. The announcer apologises that the train is being canceled and suggests that I go to Platform X to catch and alternative train. I am still late, but I am not standing on a platform clueless as to what to do next. ** Tags added: ux-errormessage -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344839 Title: Cannot Mount External drive error message is unhelpful -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 15495] Re: Archive Manager doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an archive is
The aim of the paper cuts project is to improve the usability of the Ubuntu desktop. What this debate reflects is that there are many ways to solve this problem; what the design team aims to do is resolve these discussions by conducting research with a broader audience. In order to use something a person does not need to have an accurate picture of how it works, they need to be able to predict the effect a particular action will have. Mental models don't need to be correct to be useful. I recommend Compress because all the participants could predict what that might do and why they might use it and terms like Archive and Zip were less clear to people. To quote one participant: I know what a zip is on my jacket? Based on research, the solution from the design team is: * In the context menu rename Create Archive to Compress... * The subsequent dialog box should be re-titled to read: Create compressed file * The input box on the dialog box should be re-labelled from 'Archive' to 'Filename' What I would really like to do is heal 100 paper cuts for Karmic - let's try this now and, if usability testing shows this is not the optimum solution we can improve it in Karmic +1. -- Archive Manager doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an archive is https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/15495 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
