Phoronix: Pitivi's User Interface Is Getting Better Thanks To GSoC, Plus Other GNOME Improvements

If you have been less than satisfied with the user-interface of the Pitivi non-linear open-source video editor for Linux, you may want to try out their next release...

It feels very modern now. Kudoz!

thanks for your contributes to the Gnome project!
If there's sort of wish list (and can't even find an official Gnome forum) I'd love next summer someone to focus on giving the users a couple of extra configuration/customization options. Any will do, doesn't matter which area of gnome/nautilus/gdm.. just few more so that we can feel like in charge of our desktop environment and not the other way around.

Many thanks and god bless Gnomeville

I have a complaint...



Why is the "Cancel" button at the top right? Wasn't it supposed to be at the top left?!
Not even GNOME developers themselves respect their HIG.

As an occasional user of gnome-disks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Disks I can confirm that the buttons are all over the place now. (try doing a "format drive" or other actions).

Not to mention that the action buttons shouldn't be in the title bar of the window in the first place... Usability disaster.

They're their because it's the "modern way" of doing things. iOS, BB10 (both at OS and app level) and Android (only at app level for quite some apps) have buttons on the top left and right.

But yeah, I'm not a fan of the modern way either.

True for desktop, but not for tab-

never mind.

iOS, BB10 (both at OS and app level) and Android (only at app level for quite some apps) have buttons on the top left and right.

In the top bar, iOS only has navigation buttons (usually "back") and the option to change the displayed elements ("edit") -- what a PC user would find in a "View" or "Window" menu -- no real actions.

I don't care. My thumb is at the bottom of the screen and reaching up requires a lot of stretching (it at all possible), so no elements at the top please UNLESS the screen isn't tall, then go ahead and place whatever you want at the top (I actually liked the top menu on webOS because the screen was never too big). Your comparison to PC's is totally flawed as I can easily reach the top with something called a mouse pointer, something that doesn't exist on mobile OS's (THAT IS, not by default as there's no mouse or touchpad by *default*).
