Definitions of the word intuitive are wide-ranging. I meant that the interface concept needs to be graspable with as little learning as possible, adapted from what is done in normal life / in other interfaces: »Jakob's Law of the Web User Experience states that "users spend most of their time on other websites."« – http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9605.html = consistency with the real world. I know, not even that is possible with a mouse between you and the folder. Let’s not keep derailing to meta or general topics all the time. It is not the purpose of this list to discuss meanings of words. I am all for clear and sharp language, so the only problem is that I exaggerated and used the wrong word. A personal mail will do next time. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
