[Feedreader-development] Feedback on 616, mainly opml

[Nicole S. <ni...@gn...>]

Feedback on 616, as usual most on usability ;o))
as usual i am better in giving feedback on things.
btw so that I don't forget it - thanks for the fine work :o)

- rename folder
  The usual Key for rename is f2
  the border left / right is a bit thick 


- right-click on taskbar icon, choose close does minimize 
  instead of closing it.
  Option 'minimize on close button' is different 
  action than this one!


- File 'changes' could display build number after date 
  so it is easier to keep track of which version is what.


- default ending for opml-files is - opml.


- import opml dialog 
  (has no cancel button // has no shortcuts)
  has irritating structur.
  i asume i should browse first, then select, then import.

  but I could type in the name of a file and then what?

  The dialog itself from top to bottom should lead me
  like a wizard. Top comes first, end is last.

On Import does import mean import list for display? import for import?
On   [Select all] [Unselect all]  
     these are two functions, not one!

On   Feeds found:
     I am missing an indicator that I have already added this feed.
     Asume I want to seperate my new feeds - how do I keep track of 
     which one I have already added?
     I would add a "filed in folder" column to 'feeds found' or 
     a little icon as 'added'

On   Close: does close import? before? Where is [ Abort ]?

If not to complicated I would suggest also a "remove selected". Otherwise I
would have to end this import, go to the place where I have added it and
then delete it there if I accidently got one wrong. 

To get rid of this litte workarounds, I suggest this kind of dialog:
(// or [// means greyed out. (Only available functions are to be enabled.)

|  [ Select all ] [// Unselect all]
|  [// reset set place on selected ] [// reset all set places ] 
split in two lines for display in this messges, could be one line


Initial display:

#   Filename: [                               ] [ Browse ]

#   [// Import file for display ]   
#   
#   Feeds found:
#     place to add to | name   | description
#   [
#    
#    
#                                                      ]
#  [ Select all ] [// Unselect all]
#  [// reset set place on selected ] [// reset all set places ] 

#   File to folder: [//<bottom>                 ] [//set selected]

#                                           [// Import ] [ Abort ]
#   (//Import only adds feeds to selected places, the rest is ignored.)


Focus on: [Browse]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First step: Either I browse a filenname or I do insert it manually. As soon
as I insert one char,   [ Import file for display ]   gets enabled.

Then I press   [ Import file for display ]   

If file contains no feed, message is displayed "no feeds found" (= yes, I
did something but hey, there are no feeds!)

If successfull: Focus on first feed, most of the buttons are enabled now.


#   Filename: [ nameoffile                    ] [Browse]

#   [ Import file for display ]   
#   
#   Feeds found:
#   place to add to   | name   | description
#   [ < no import>    | feed a | description  a         (selected)
#     < no import>    | feed b | description  b
#     < no import>    | feed c | description  c
#                                                      ]
#  [ Select all ] [// Unselect all]
#  [// reset set place on selected ] [// reset all set places ] 

#   File to folder: [<end>               ] [set for selected feed]

#                                       [// Import ] [ Abort ]
#   (Import only adds feeds to selected places, the rest is ignored.)

As soon as 
 - more than one feed is selected, unselect all is enabled.
 - one place is selected,  [ reset all set places ] is enabled.
 - one feed has a selection, [ reset set place on selected ] is enabled. 
 - one feed has a selection, [ Import ] is enabled

As soon as 
 - only one feed is selected, unselect all is disabled.
 - no place is selected,  [ reset all set places ] is disabled.
 - one feed has a selection and no place [ reset set place on selected ]
   is disabled. 
 - no feed has a selection, [ Import ] is disabled.

Notes:
|  Feeds found:
|  place to add to   | name   | description

It is called "Feeds found". "Feeds name", "Feeds description" is
redundandent

Where to file, content of dropdownbox, (end) selected on initial
   (end)
   (top)
   (none)
   folder a
   folder b
   folder c
   folder d


If I have set everything to my desire, I finally press Import or Abort.


Does someone has a link from where I could test an import?
The ones from http://www.rss-verzeichnis.de won't work nor the one from
feedreader itself.
