--- Comment #23 from Pau Giner <[email protected]> --- > And what if you want to use your browser's back button to get back to the > 20th Kiwi image You will click the "back" button, and then use Media Viewer "prev" arrow to go back to the image you were before. I think that the behaviour can be intuitive for the user, but in the case it is not, you still have the possibility to recover: Imagine you click the "back" button one time (going to Media Viewer) and then again (exiting Media Viewer), you only need to click the browser "Forward" button to return to the Media viewer and use the next/prev controls to locate the desired image. > The argument of browsing 25/50/100 images is blown out of proportions. That depends on the article ("Kiwi" has 7 pictures, but "New Zealand" has about 30) and the specific user interaction. The number of times you have to click the "back" button, depends on the movements you made through images. Thus, a user going back and forth with prev/next through 5 images will require more than 5 back button clicks to undo his path. It is not only a problem of volume, but the user mental model about what constitutes an activity. Articles are also composed by sections, but creating history steps for each section the users go through would be problematic. Even for fewer sections, the user would not recognise those as relevant steps. Similarly, we provide users with a collection of images and each individual step seems to be perceived more as part of a single activity (exploring the collection) than as many individual tasks. Obviously the divisions in this case are more blurry than the article/section example, but I think that the volume is just a manifestation of the underlying problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
