First of all I want to apologize again for my previous rant, that was clearly inappropriate.
Now on to the newest UI proposal; You've dropped the gears icon in favor of the text message "Change" but my greatest concern is "-". The symbolic icon "-" does NOT always mean "delete". In fact when you open the "change" dialogue to apply changes to a partition "-" clearly means reducing the size of the existing partition! This is true of many apps, typically "-" means shrink, lower, or reduce! I've followed user errors a lot at Ubuntu forums down through the years and I'll assure you that anything that's even slightly confusing will ultimately result in user error, the worst of which is the loss of data or an existing OS. So IMO using "-" to replace "delete" is a very bad UI change/decision :^( BTW I only included that gparted screenshot in comment #8 to prove that if the installation process is "quit" no change is actually applied, but I fear that if someone were to click on "-" not knowing that it means "delete" they'd proceed with the actual desired changes and still end up deleting a partition they'd NOT intended to :^( I hope that's clear, I really am getting old and tired, and I've been almost begging for someone else on the end-user end of testing to jump up to the plate to replace me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045799 Title: Manual partitioner: Icons 'Add', 'Remove', and 'Modify' are a bit confusing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1045799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
