Bug ID: 369308
Summary: UX issues with the startup splash screen / about
dialog
Product: krita
Version: git master
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: alvinhoc...@gmail.com
1. When Krita is still loading, the splash screen is unresponsive and links and
recent files are non-functional. On Windows, attempts at clicking on the window
can cause the "unresponsive program" dialog to show, And if the user does
attempt to click on the links, the clicks might still be registered after Krita
has finished loading.
This appears to me as bad UX. "Unclickable" UI elements that appears to be
clickable are bad, users may attempt to click on them but to receive no
response, or even worse, a response after a long period.
The easy way would be to hide the links portions while Krita is still loading.
Even though the splash screen would still be unresponsive, users would normally
not interact with it and should not trigger the "unresponsive program" dialog.
2. The splash screen doesn't close when pressing `Esc`. I would expect users to
expect this to work.
3. The about dialog uses the same UI widget as the splash screen, which shows
the "Recent Files" links. Those seems weird to be on the about dialog, so I
would suggest hiding them in the about dialog.
Reproducible: Always
