Re: [Usability] Cheap Open Source Morae Alternative

That would be cool. You're right, tabs are conventionally used for information that doesn't need a pattern. A wizard could work. Other than one, What gtk+element can you suggest? I'm thinking of hierarchical buttons like the one on Ubuntu Software Center and Nautilus ( http://www.ubuntu-pics.de

Re: [Usability] Cheap Open Source Morae Alternative

I'd like to have a feature for bookmarks on frames, so that those bookmarks are shown for a few seconds during video replay as a sort of "close captioning" or balloons. The technique called "communicability evaluation" uses tags to annotate particular moments in the user test where specific types

I think, we can have the simplest features first to have a workig app sooner then just add features as the project grows. I want to push for the observe function because I like how it works in Morae. The idea is, many people involved in the project development are watching while the testing

Cool. Great inputs. I agree. I just don't know about merging observe and view because observe needs something like vnc. If it can work technically, though, that would be better to lessen the tabs/heirarchical buttons Allan On Dec 18, 2009, at 8:29 PM, Diego Moya wrote: I'd like to have

Re: [Usability] Cheap Open Source Morae Alternative

A standalone consultant is not going to want to use the viewer functionality, so is there a way we can peel the two workflows (users?) apart? Perhaps we can cook up two quick users (personas?) and related tasks summaries? I'd like to take that on, if anyone doesn't object. Go. What can y
