The current greeter, which although is a really great addition, was implemented as a Window Stack which changed the middle of the stack, but not the action bar or titlebar. This results in a selection buttons not doing anything on certain screens and the title can sometimes be confusing. This was also reported by @vanillajonathan in https://github.com/gaphor/gaphor/issues/973.
For example, on the recent model Window, the Recent Model... doesn't do anything. The title bar says Open a Gaphor Model instead of Recent Models:
On the Create Model Window, the Create New Model... button doesn't do anything. The title bar says Open a Gaphor Model instead of Create New Model:
This is also evident when selecting Open a Model or New Model from the hamburger menu, since the same window stack opens.
Describe the solution you'd like
Here are a couple of mockups:
Would Open Other Model... or just Open Model... be better than Existing model? I wasn't sure about that or not.
I can submit a PR once we are aligned on improvements :+1:
