The engineers say that. The decision makers about UI tend not to be engineers, and don’t pay much attention to Radar. (I’m not saying that’s a good thing, just that it’s how things happen at Apple. The UI designers there work in an extremely strong echo-chamber.) I don’t know that there is any effective way to get Apple to reconsider a UI. What seems to get the most results is to have a big enough critical mass of people yelling that they dislike it (on blogs, Twitter, forums, whatever) that it makes it into the press, which then might start to seem significant to Apple designers & managers. For instance, one instance where this worked was with the orientation vs. mute switch on the iPad. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
