Package: freeguide
Version: 0.8.5-1
Severity: wishlist
The "First Time Install Wizard" says that it needs a timezone:
[Information _[]X]
DD data is in UTC by default
Please specify the appropriate offset
(We're working on improving this)
+0000 UTC
-0400 Eastern Daylight
-0500 Eastern Standard ... etc.
[ OK ]
...none of that text can be selected, so the user must retype it from
memory. "OK" to continue. The "Information" window vanishes.
Now there's a new window that prompts for the timezone offset.
I entered "-400", clicked "OK", and got the same window with my "-400"
blanked out. This Wizard destroys any user input that isn't perfect.
Then I tried "-400 Eastern" -- no good. "-400 Eastern Standard" --
wrong. And so on. After some frustration I tried "-0400" and that
worked.
The obvious improvement would be to have a list box, but if that's
difficult, or is expected to take a while, then in the meantime why not
combine the two windows by moving the text in the "Information" window
over to the same window as the text input box? Please don't hide it
just when the user needs help. A reminder to use a leading zero would
also be good.
Hope this helps...
