Not Intuitive #7

Open rayman89 opened 7 years ago

rayman89 commented 7 years ago

When you open the options and try to add a new event nothing happens and only after a bit of fiddling around you notice that you need to add a sound first then press the edit button an then click on the fields to be able to set the event. When you click on add event the defult thing to do should be open it in edit mode. All the fields when on edit mode should display a down arrow or some button or say click here or something to tell the user that they need to click on it. The options field I still dont know what it does.

Also it would be nice if the addon came with some sounds itself for easy and quick config.

Thanks for your great idea. I've pushed a new version 2.1, added some visual hints to try help first time user. And when first time adding event, it enter edit mode, this takes similar behavior as adding first sound.

I've considered default sound, will try keeping the audio size small then add it.

Glad to hear it. I'm wondering why it's only for the first time though. Even if the user were to figure it out wouldn't they be expecting the same behavior for the button they just pushed before? I also feel that is more convenient., Why would you want to add a blank sound or event? If you add an event you would want something to happen and if you add a sound you would want to actually do so not just add a square at the top that does nothing so I don't see why would you want to keep the old behavior for the other times.

Make sense. Previously I think I can add empty items first, therefore the page layout won't move too much because of detail setting box. But after you said, and more consideration, also Firefox itself has many places do such a "start editing when adding" behavior, I agree your idea is better. Will change it in next version, thanks.

Default present with sounds would be a nice addition.
