Hi all, I really like the Unity Lenses but I have one big problem with it. Every lens always take an action which is defined by file type or service. For Lenses how the Application Lens that is no problem. But if you look for example to the music lens the user don't want always only to add songs to the current playlist or start a musicplayer basically. I think the unity lenses need a default user dialogue which ask what to do. Similar to Android. Here the user get a list of installed apps which can handle the selected file type or service.
I created a small mock-up to show you how I imagine this: http://ubuntuone.com/6lsAMuAGjO5J6JIw27ZxXP After the user select song(s) the dialogue pop up and the user can select what to do. In this example you have the possibility to play the selected song(s) and replace the current playlist items, add it to the current playlist or open the folder location in nautilus. Also should exist a possibility that the user can define default actions and also to change this later. I think that could be very useful for the default music lens but also for some community lenses. So that's all at the moment. Let me know what you thinking.. cheers, marco -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
