Usability #15

I just tested plugin. Step 1 It took me several minutes to get started. I didn't know what to do. There is a free space below the image on the left. I moved instructions and select there.

Step 2 I didn't get new image preview, I had to take chance and click OK

Step 3 I finished editing one thumbnail but it says "start over" - start over with the same image or... Maybe write something else.

So overall did the process work?

RE: Getting Started, I'm hoping that when people download from wordpress.org they will have the instructions and screenshots as outlined in the README.txt file. Do you think those instructions help?

RE: Step 1 -- Are you suggesting that I should put instructions below the Select image on Step 1?

RE: Step 2 -- What browser are you using? Would you mind helping me troubleshoot this issue (find the URL that PTE is sending to the browser and investigating why it can't be loaded)

RE: Step 3 -- Thanks for the comment, do you think instead of saying "Click here to start over", it would be better to have "Click here to modify a different thumbnail"? Do you have any suggestions?

RE: RE: Getting started -- In the Readme file it says "4. Crop the image as you see fit and click "Create Thumbnails". " I didn't know how to actually crop - where to point , what to clik. I would rather have a couple of sentences for dummies. Something like Point here ->Press the left button on your mouse ->Drug the pointer holding the button pressed ->....

RE: RE: Step 1 - I work with small screen 1024 x 600 and I can't see top and bottom of the frame ( half title at the top and half thumbnail at the bottom ). This part : Choose the images/thumbnails that you want to edit: Point to the image above and drag to select the area Select: All | None I moved to the left ( below the button "Create Thumbnails" ), also as you can see I added one more sentence there.

RE: RE: Step 2 - I use Firefox 5 . I got those URLs : {"thumbnails":{"thumbnail":{"url":"http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/brand\/wp-content\/uploads\ptetmp\6\IMG_0973-88x88.jpg","file":"IMG_0973-88x88.jpg"}},"pte-nonce":"cd62cc3c36","pte-delete-nonce":"a2036d1fd8"} json "127.0.0.1/brand/wp-content/uploads\ptetmp\6\IMG_0973-88x88.jpg"
The slash around "ptetmp" is different ( wrong ? ) so checked where it is. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR - can't find where it is defined ( don't know if needed ).

RE: RE: Step 3 -- "Click here to modify a different thumbnail" sounds allright. English is not my native lang, so I can't be any more help here.

Hopefully this clears up the issues with Steps 2 and 3.

For Step 1, I don't anticipate making any visual changes for this release, but I will update the README with better directions. Thanks for all your help!
