[Thuban-list] usability wishes

[Moritz Lennert]

Hello,

While playing around with Daniel's patches, a few usability issues have
struck me. I list them here, but if you prefer that I file individual wish
bugs for them, please tell me:

In the "Colour" chooser window:

- it should be possible to set the rgb values by typing the numbers, not
only by using the slide

- when creating a custom color, I find it counter-intuitive that once I
have adjusted the sliders, I have to click on "Add to custom colors"
before clicking on OK: I often click directly on OK and then have to come
back to recreate the color

- custom colors should be saved from one usage to the next of the color
chooser (or at least there should be a possibility to save custom colors -
ideally with the possibility of creating files with custom colors which
could then be loaded on demand)

-it would be nice to extend the hsv patch to the chooser so that it is
possible to create custom colors according to hsv values


In the "Generate Classification" window:

- it is not resizable (I am using thuban with XFCE4 in Debian
testing/unstable) and when working on a small-screen laptop this means
that I cannot see the "Generate" and "Close" buttons when creating a
custom color ramp or when the text describing the classification is long.
I have to blindly try to reach them by tabbing. Would it be possible to
allow resizing of windows with a slider to reach the different parts ?


Enough for now. Thanks again to Daniel for his patches.
