If Totem is a movie player, what's the "Playlist" for?

Why is a video not a document? So the "File"-menu relates to operations on the file, the go menu on navigation inside the file. It doesn't matter of which type the file is. > It says absolutely nowhere in the HIG that I should have a Stop button, > and if the Stop button does absolutely nothing more than what's possible > otherwise, what's the point? Stop is a combination of "Pause" and "Go to begin of movie / playlist". People are used to it: its on their CD-player, DVD-player, tape-recorder etc. etc. > As I've said a number of times, the HIG is only a guide.

The HIG is made to help developers making an *usable* application. Calum, Seth and many many others has put a lot of research and development in it. -- Tim Steenvoorden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
