I'm wondering if anyone has looked into consistent separation of permanent and temporary state manipulations.
For instance, when I open Opera, it's always on the last web page I visited. It wouldn't be clear to me that Opera would save the webpage I visited. However, this is typically not obtrusive, as I am usually not worried about my homepage. It can be a problem with recovery, however, as the page I was on may have caused the browser to crash. In another context, when I'm using KDE, I find it frustrating that Konqueror will not be in the same viewing state for file browsing. Yes, I know this is the GNOME list, but I'd still hope to spark some discussion on this topic. _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
