I propose we move the more important icons to the left based on the order in the user flow.
I had a layout in mind with groupings as defined below
The icons will be displayed in the toolbar left to right in the following order
1.Add items group
a.Add Folder
b. Add Files
2. Cluster
3. Lookup Group
a. Lookup
b. Scan
c. Lookup in Browser
4. Post-tagging group
a. Save
a. Info
c. Remove
5. Submit Acoustids
6. Open in Player
7. Lookup Cd
There will be a separator separating each group (similar to the one separating Add files and Open in Player
Alternative layouts and suggestions appreciated
The above change can possibly be rolled out in v1.4 if supported by popular opinion
The āLookup from CD optionā seems hidden, but is available in the extended toolbar( Accessible from the right double arrows) due to width limitations of my screen
What about allowing users to choose which buttons they want in the bar? I only add files by command line or drag & drop, I never use the CD-related functions, I never use the Open in Player command (except by accident, which is obnoxious).
On the other hand, Iād add a button to refresh a release, if I could. It would also be awesome to have an easier way to add to collections or select another release from a release group.
I can work on it and will try to make it in the 1.4 release
apart from that, we also wanted to finalize a default layout for new users, thus my suggestion above
I agree with @aerozol. The proposed rearrangement looks like a definite improvement and could be made into a PR within a few minutes. Adding UI interface for configuring the menu might well be a bit hairyāand can also go in, even if the default layout has been cleaned up a bit.
To me it would be more logical/natural to have āUser interface languageā under āGeneralā instead of under āAdvancedā.
Itās a rather essential setting which many users will want to start-off with and should be found easily.
(I remember I had to do some searching before I found it under āAdvancedā)
The original reason why it was put under advanced was the fact that it defaults to the default language of the system. And it was considered a rather advance usage if you want to use an application in a different language as the rest of your system.
I still think this is true, but I am not generally against putting it in General.
My own user case is that I am not native English, but prefer to have all my software in English, including OS.
Yet very often newly installed software seems to source ālocationā for itās user interface language, and not the selected language.
And thatās what Picard seems to be doing (or being mislead by) also.
edit,
For Windows itās probably sourced from āRegionā > āFormatsā > 'Format:'
Many āforeignā users will select English as OS language, but will want to set their currency, number formatting, dates, etc. by local standards.
Thatās a bug then, and I think we should fix that instead of moving a setting that basically never gets touched if set once to the start page of the settings
Will you pick up on this then?
I believe the official way should be me opening āa ticketā, but being a newbie I want to learn and understand the workings and dynamics of the forum/Picard/MusicBrainz a bit better before doing such.
