Public bug reported: Binary package hint: khelpcenter
After installing khelpcenter to be able to read the taskjuggler manual and tutorial pages, the initial launch caused several windows to open which prompted for index rebuilding with check-boxes and confusing options. I'm lodging this as a khelpcenter bug, but it may turn out to be a taskjuggler bug. Personally, I think that the installation process should just rebuild all indices without requiring the user to either be aware of any such mystic things as what an index might do or provide. Alternatively, if an index is really only "nice to have", then there should not be a prompt to provide this functionality and this should be a preference. In my opinion the Human Interface Guidelines many, many years ago (1995) said it best: A preference should be a setting that the user changes infrequently. If you provide choices to users that they will change many times in a work session, you should implement those choices in a menu or other interface element to which the user has easy, modeless access. By choosing the right way to implement a feature, you can give users the flexibility to choose, in their own language, their preferred method of working. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Index building for initial launch is overly complex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
