I had an interesting revelation today regarding button placement and overall usability concerns. I was using a cross-platform (and custom GUI) 3D app on my Mac. I typically use it on PC. I kept hitting the wrong dialog button, because they swapped positions from PC to Mac. Interestingly, I also always have a heck of a time with Command-C vs Ctrl-C for copying as well (I do agree with Apple, Command-C is easier, it's just I'm now used to Ctrl-C).
In anycase, I'm not sure dialogs are necessarily an OS specific thing anymore. I think some people who use multiple OS'es-- and there are more of these people-- may have a consistent contextual memory of button placement, rather than preferred OS placement. IOW, they relate to button placement in context of the specific app they're using, not the OS they're on. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
