Transcript of Benjamin Linden's office hours:
| [15:02] | Benjamin Linden: | hi folks |
| [15:02] | Jacek Antonelli: | hey Ben! |
| [15:02] | Kippie Friedkin: | Hi Ben |
| [15:02] | Benjamin Linden: | wow malbers, you've changed |
| [15:03] | Malbers Linden: | just trying out an av i picked up a couple hours ago |
| [15:03] | Jacek Antonelli: | Steampunk for the win |
| [15:03] | Malbers Linden: | I'll be my jelly-licious self in no time |
| [15:03] | Benjamin Linden: | lol |
| [15:03] | Benjamin Linden: | ok I guess I need to set up this project thingy |
| [15:03] | Benjamin Linden: | oh jeeze it's huge |
| [15:03] | Jacek Antonelli: | Hey Stephany :) |
| [15:03] | Kippie Friedkin: | Yeah...sorry :\ |
| [15:03] | haon Arado: | lol |
| [15:03] | haon Arado: | hey steph and tnk |
| [15:04] | haon Arado: | tink* |
| [15:04] | Jacek Antonelli: | We can put it on the roof, lol |
| [15:04] | Tinker Toll: | Hey all! |
| [15:04] | Stephany Linden: | / hi everyone |
| [15:04] | Jacek Antonelli: | Hi Tinker! |
| [15:04] | haon Arado: | hey benjamin; u came when i was getting a drink :) |
| [15:04] | Phlojo Gears: | hello |
| [15:04] | Kippie Friedkin: | Hi Stephany |
| [15:05] | Roof Doors: | Phlojo Gears is at the door. |
| [15:05] | Benjamin Linden: | Hi Haon |
| [15:05] | Jacek Antonelli: | Wow, cool gear, Tinker! <3 utility belts |
| [15:05] | Tinker Toll: | :-) Thanks!! |
| [15:05] | Tinker Toll: | me too! |
| [15:06] | Kippie Friedkin: | Cool...It looks like I can control that screen from my HUD too |
| [15:06] | Benjamin Linden: | oh good |
| [15:06] | Phlojo Gears: | right on |
| [15:06] | Kippie Friedkin: | hehe..thought that might help :) |
| [15:07] | Benjamin Linden: | is this an ok position for everyone? |
| [15:07] | Phlojo Gears: | looks good to me |
| [15:07] | Malbers Linden: | cool |
| [15:07] | Benjamin Linden: | has anyone seen squirrel lately? |
| [15:07] | Jacek Antonelli: | Hmm, no :( |
| [15:07] | Benjamin Linden: | hmm |
| [15:08] | Benjamin Linden: | ok well let's get started! |
| [15:08] | Benjamin Linden: | Kippie did you want to walk through these for the residents? |
| [15:08] | Kippie Friedkin: | I'd be happy to! |
| [15:08] | Benjamin Linden: | Mudflap, there's room on the couch next to me |
| [15:08] | Kippie Friedkin: | Thanks for coming everyone. As you may have heard, we're going to review the progress on the Landmarks & Navigation project today. |
| [15:09] | Mudflap Mighty: | Thanks Ben |
| [15:09] | Jacek Antonelli: | Yay :) |
| [15:09] | Kippie Friedkin: | The team has been working on wireframes and designs for the proposed enhancements. |
| [15:10] | Kippie Friedkin: | We've been receiving some very helpful feedback from members of sl-dev....and we wanted to show some updated revisions today and get some feedback as well. |
| [15:10] | Kippie Friedkin: | With that, I'll turn this over to Phlojo. |
| [15:10] | Jacek Antonelli: | cool |
| [15:10] | Kippie Friedkin: | He's the design lead on our project and will walk us through the wireframes and designs |
| [15:10] | Kippie Friedkin: | Take it away, Phlo! :) |
| [15:11] | Phlojo Gears: | Hello everyone, i'm not the fastest typist in the world and not the best speller either |
| [15:11] | Phlojo Gears: | with that being said... here I go |
| [15:11] | Malbers Linden: | so, you are like the rest of us -- perfect |
| [15:11] | Benjamin Linden: | heh |
| [15:11] | Phlojo Gears: | first we are going to take a look at the wireframe docs for the landmark management |
| [15:12] | Phlojo Gears: | there are two solutions that we put together |
| [15:12] | Phlojo Gears: | Solution 1 is for a Unified Floaters scenario |
| [15:12] | Phlojo Gears: | and Solution 2 - for a Seprated floaters |
| [15:12] | Phlojo Gears: | so let's go through solution 1 |
| [15:12] | Phlojo Gears: | if we can go to the next page |
| [15:12] | Phlojo Gears: | here we go |
| [15:13] | Phlojo Gears: | so here we are calling out the Landmarks main menu |
| [15:13] | Phlojo Gears: | which will be located in the main menu area |
| [15:13] | Phlojo Gears: | clicking on a landmark listed there will immediatedly atempt a telport |
| [15:14] | Phlojo Gears: | as far as creating a landmark, the Create Landmark menu item would be selected |
| [15:14] | Phlojo Gears: | labeled 2 in thsi pdf page |
| [15:14] | Phlojo Gears: | that wil bring up the Create Landmark floater |
| [15:14] | Jacek Antonelli nods | |
| [15:15] | Phlojo Gears: | this floater not only shows up when Create Landmark is selected from the main nav |
| [15:15] | Phlojo Gears: | but also anytime a Landmark is recieved, from another resident let's say |
| [15:15] | Jacek Antonelli: | neat :) |
| [15:16] | Phlojo Gears: | that way this floater beccomes the 'gateway' in the create landmark user flow |
| [15:16] | Phlojo Gears: | as u can see on this massive projector screen... |
| [15:16] | Phlojo Gears: | there are a number of editable fields |
| [15:16] | Phlojo Gears: | such as: Name of the landmark |
| [15:16] | Phlojo Gears: | and the Notes |
| [15:17] | Phlojo Gears: | we are also including a Description area |
| [15:17] | Ellla McMahon: | I apologize ... sorry for bring in front of your screen :( |
| [15:17] | Kippie Friedkin: | No worries, Ella :) |
| [15:17] | Phlojo Gears: | which is not editable and it is set by the land owner |
| [15:17] | haon Arado: | no worries :) u weren't blocking it |
| [15:17] | Ellla McMahon: | :) |
| [15:18] | Kippie Friedkin: | This is big enough it can probably seen a few regions over ;) |
| [15:18] | haon Arado: | haha |
| [15:18] | Ellla McMahon: | LOL |
| [15:18] | Phlojo Gears: | this flaoter will give the user the ability to create this landmark at the root level of the landmarks folder structure |
| [15:18] | Benjamin Linden: | lol Kippie |
| [15:18] | Phlojo Gears: | or select a specific folder |
| [15:18] | Phlojo Gears: | vai the "create in" pull down |
| [15:19] | Phlojo Gears: | additionaly, the user will have the ability to create a new folder |
| [15:19] | Phlojo Gears: | and that is represented by the schematic/flow which are highlited by the fancy red arrows |
| [15:19] | Benjamin Linden: | Phlojo, remind me to ask a question about the receive landmarks work flow |
| [15:19] | Phlojo Gears: | will |
| [15:20] | Phlojo Gears: | wil do |
| [15:20] | Phlojo Gears: | i am not sure if u guys have seen an earlier itteration of this floater |
| [15:20] | Jacek Antonelli: | nope |
| [15:20] | Phlojo Gears: | but we did our best to clean it up and organize it better |
| [15:21] | Jacek Antonelli: | Good stuff there :) |
| [15:21] | Phlojo Gears: | further more, we are going to explor the posibility of combining the description and notes into a tabbed solution |
| [15:21] | Phlojo Gears: | to save even more realestate |
| [15:21] | Phlojo Gears: | any questions on this page? |
| [15:21] | Jacek Antonelli shakes her head, no. | |
| [15:22] | Phlojo Gears: | awsome, everyone is happy :) |
| [15:22] | Benjamin Linden: | lol sweet |
| [15:22] | Benjamin Linden: | ship it! |
| [15:22] | Phlojo Gears: | on to the next page then |
| [15:22] | Jacek Antonelli: | hahaha |
| [15:22] | Kippie Friedkin: | yay! |
| [15:22] | Kippie Friedkin: | lol |
| [15:22] | Benjamin Linden: | actually before we move on |
| [15:22] | Benjamin Linden: | should we talk about the receive landmarks sequence? |
| [15:22] | Phlojo Gears: | this page accounts for how the Manage landmarks floater is being acessed |
| [15:22] | Kippie Friedkin: | Yes, good idea |
| [15:22] | Phlojo Gears: | ok, yeah, let's do that |
| [15:23] | Benjamin Linden: | can you describe how you imagined that working? |
| [15:23] | Phlojo Gears: | yes |
| [15:24] | Phlojo Gears: | in a nuttshel after a resident accepts a landmark, this flaoter will pop up |
| [15:24] | Phlojo Gears: | if they do nothing other then click save, the recieved landmark will be by default placed n a Received Landmarks folder |
| [15:24] | Phlojo Gears: | but they do have the opportuniyt of placing it elsewhere via the Create in pull down |
| [15:25] | Phlojo Gears: | and the New folder workflow |
| [15:25] | Benjamin Linden: | what if they hit cancel? |
| [15:25] | Benjamin Linden: | is it already in their inventory at that point? |
| [15:25] | haon Arado: | is it possible to have a drag and drop option from the landmark pulldown |
| [15:26] | Jacek Antonelli: | I'd expect it to go to trash, I think? If I recall correctly, that's what happens when you decline inventory offers now |
| [15:26] | Phlojo Gears: | if they accepted the landmark, and they hit cancel... it should probably go to trash |
| [15:26] | Kippie Friedkin: | Hi Adam |
| [15:26] | Benjamin Linden: | well what Phlojo is describing is you would have already hit Accept |
| [15:26] | Benjamin Linden: | then this window appears |
| [15:26] | Jacek Antonelli: | Oh. Hm. |
| [15:26] | Kippie Friedkin: | Right..that's the only way this floater would appear. |
| [15:26] | Benjamin Linden: | so then the question is, what does OK and Cancel do |
| [15:26] | Phlojo Gears: | and then if u hit cancel, it could still be moved to trash |
| [15:27] | Jacek Antonelli: | Yeah. Sort of a "Hmm, I guess I don't really want this after all" sort of deal? |
| [15:27] | Phlojo Gears: | right |
| [15:27] | Kippie Friedkin: | Hmmm |
| [15:27] | Benjamin Linden: | right, which we sort of do with Notecards |
| [15:27] | Benjamin Linden: | there are a couple of settings in Preferences you guys should explore |
| [15:27] | Benjamin Linden: | under Popups |
| [15:28] | Benjamin Linden: | that determine if the accepted content displays immediately or not |
| [15:28] | Benjamin Linden: | or auto-accepts |
| [15:28] | Phlojo Gears: | ok |
| [15:28] | Jacek Antonelli: | One thing, while I'm thinking of it -- the floater is pretty big right now, and I probably wouldn't need to edit every single landmark I get... |
| [15:28] | Jacek Antonelli: | so what if there's a smaller version, where you can just change the name and the folder it goes in, but then you can click a "More >>" button to expand it and enter more |
| [15:29] | Phlojo Gears: | that is an interesting idea |
| [15:29] | Benjamin Linden: | one thing I'd thought about is if there would be a way to select the folder in the blue pop-up notice |
| [15:29] | Benjamin Linden: | so as part of saying "accept" you also set the folder |
| [15:29] | Kippie Friedkin: | Would that bypass the Create Landmark floater? |
| [15:29] | Kippie Friedkin: | and just go straight to the folder you select in the notify window? |
| [15:29] | Benjamin Linden: | then if you wanted to turn off the "auto view" option you wouldn't need to see the create landmark folder |
| [15:30] | Kippie Friedkin: | Got it. |
| [15:30] | Benjamin Linden: | I'm not sure how feasible/desirable that is |
| [15:30] | Phlojo Gears: | for consistency purposes, i wold incline towards guiding the users towards this floater |
| [15:30] | Phlojo Gears: | any time a new landmark is to be added to their landmarks/inventory |
| [15:31] | Jacek Antonelli: | I'm hesitant. The blue notify window is.. well, it's not for doing that, hehe. That would seem a bit out of place |
| [15:31] | haon Arado: | the create landmark floater would work fine for excepting a new landmark it is being creating into your inventory or menu and it gives you customization no need to make it more complicated |
| [15:31] | Stephany Linden: | / good point haon |
| [15:31] | Benjamin Linden: | ok sounds good |
| [15:31] | Benjamin Linden: | I'm convinced! |
| [15:32] | Jacek Antonelli: | hehe |
| [15:32] | Phlojo Gears: | :) |
| [15:32] | Benjamin Linden: | the only thing that's a little strange... |
| [15:32] | Benjamin Linden: | is that someone "gives" you a landmark |
| [15:32] | Benjamin Linden: | but then you get a "create landmark" window |
| [15:32] | Phlojo Gears: | we bounced arond the idea of naming this window Add landmark |
| [15:32] | Jacek Antonelli: | Ah, yeah |
| [15:32] | Phlojo Gears: | so maybe that is a better name |
| [15:33] | Phlojo Gears: | that answer both situations |
| [15:33] | Benjamin Linden: | ok |
| [15:33] | haon Arado: | its been given to u but since its copied it is still going to be created into your folder |
| [15:33] | Jacek Antonelli: | Good solution |
| [15:33] | haon Arado: | i also like the add landmark more |
| [15:33] | Phlojo Gears: | is Ben convinced ? :) on "add landmark" |
| [15:34] | Jacek Antonelli: | Or even "Edit Landmark". Hrmm... does this floater come up when you edit the landmark later? |
| [15:34] | Phlojo Gears: | a similar one does |
| [15:34] | Benjamin Linden: | yes Add Landmark is fine |
| [15:34] | Jacek Antonelli: | ok |
| [15:34] | Phlojo Gears: | a few pages down |
| [15:34] | Jacek Antonelli: | Got it :) |
| [15:34] | Benjamin Linden: | ok thanks for walking us through that |
| [15:34] | Phlojo Gears: | np |
| [15:35] | Phlojo Gears: | shall i continue? |
| [15:35] | Jacek Antonelli: | yes, please :) |
| [15:35] | Phlojo Gears: | right under the Create Landmark (now Add Landmark) menu item |
| [15:35] | Phlojo Gears: | the user will be very pleased to see a menu entry for Manage Landmarks |
| [15:36] | Jacek Antonelli: | hehe |
| [15:36] | Phlojo Gears: | or so we hope :) |
| [15:36] | Phlojo Gears: | which takes us to the next page of the pdf |
| [15:36] | Jacek Antonelli: | Manage landmarks sounds good to me... goodness knows my landmarks could use some management! |
| [15:36] | Phlojo Gears: | alright |
| [15:37] | Phlojo Gears: | as u can probably notice, the area to the right |
| [15:37] | Phlojo Gears: | is very similar to the Add Landmakr floater |
| [15:37] | Jacek Antonelli: | Aha |
| [15:37] | Phlojo Gears: | the only exception being the Crate in pull down |
| [15:37] | Phlojo Gears: | to the left |
| [15:37] | Phlojo Gears: | the folder list |
| [15:37] | Phlojo Gears: | with landamarks is also visible |
| [15:38] | Phlojo Gears: | so by double clicking on a landmark, a telport happens |
| [15:38] | Phlojo Gears: | single clicking would load the details of that landmakr into the grayed out area |
| [15:38] | Phlojo Gears: | now here is something that I would love some feedback on... |
| [15:39] | Phlojo Gears: | internally, we are a little thorn between: |
| [15:39] | Phlojo Gears: | 1. showing the right area as a grayed out area, before a landmark is selected - this would happen when the floater is first opened up |
| [15:39] | Phlojo Gears: | and |
| [15:39] | Phlojo Gears: | 2. potentially showing the first landmark in the list as preloaded |
| [15:39] | Phlojo Gears: | or the last landmark visited |
| [15:40] | haon Arado: | it would make the teleport to last location button less used |
| [15:41] | Jacek Antonelli: | I think I'd expect it to be grayed out / nothing selected the first time I open it each SL session, but have it remember the last landmark I had selected, when opening it later that session |
| [15:41] | Benjamin Linden: | which button, Haon? |
| [15:41] | Benjamin Linden: | I agree Jacek |
| [15:41] | Phlojo Gears: | Jacek, i like that idea |
| [15:41] | haon Arado: | acquired last teleport |
| [15:41] | Benjamin Linden: | where is that button Haon? |
| [15:41] | Phlojo Gears: | that way only once, ever, is this form ever grayed |
| [15:42] | haon Arado: | bottom left |
| [15:42] | Benjamin Linden: | well probably only once per session |
| [15:42] | Phlojo Gears: | yeah, that is probably more accurate |
| [15:42] | Kippie Friedkin: | I like that a lot |
| [15:42] | haon Arado: | if the landmark editor opened your last location that button would not have a use |
| [15:42] | Phlojo Gears: | how about displaying the last landmark recieved as preselected? |
| [15:43] | haon Arado: | make it an opition? |
| [15:43] | Phlojo Gears: | yeah |
| [15:43] | Phlojo Gears: | could work |
| [15:43] | haon Arado: | i like that idea |
| [15:44] | Phlojo Gears: | lets move on to the next pdf page |
| [15:44] | Benjamin Linden: | mmm |
| [15:44] | Jacek Antonelli: | Hrmm. Selecting it would be handy if I'm going to be editing it right away. But if I've just edited / filed it, does it need to be selected? *thinks* |
| [15:44] | Phlojo Gears: | shows the same floater |
| [15:44] | Phlojo Gears: | not grayed out |
| [15:44] | Benjamin Linden: | I'm not a big fan of the auto select idea |
| [15:44] | haon Arado: | landmark editor leave blank or acquire previous landmark on initalzation |
| [15:45] | Kippie Friedkin: | It seems like it will never be what anyway |
| [15:45] | Kippie Friedkin: | what you want, rather |
| [15:45] | Benjamin Linden: | right |
| [15:45] | Phlojo Gears: | Ben, I am not a huge fan either, but i keep being overuled... everyone else does |
| [15:45] | Phlojo Gears: | i dont typcally like it when a computer is trying to be smarter then me, and "anticipate" my next move |
| [15:45] | Benjamin Linden: | right |
| [15:45] | Jacek Antonelli: | Inventory selects the last item you received... but inventory is kinda different, because when you receive an item / clothes, often you want to rez it or try it on right away, and you can only do that by finding it in inventory (which can be tedious) |
| [15:46] | Benjamin Linden: | let's get to the second option |
| [15:46] | Benjamin Linden: | the split windows |
| [15:46] | Phlojo Gears: | ok |
| [15:46] | Benjamin Linden: | so we can get some feedback on that |
| [15:46] | Phlojo Gears: | second pdf doc Kippie |
| [15:46] | Phlojo Gears: | page 5 |
| [15:46] | Phlojo Gears: | the first pages are identical to the other pdf |
| [15:47] | Kippie Friedkin: | on my way there |
| [15:47] | Phlojo Gears: | but this is where the solution differs |
| [15:47] | Phlojo Gears: | so in this instance |
| [15:47] | Phlojo Gears: | the folder floater |
| [15:47] | Phlojo Gears: | is separated from the edit landmark area |
| [15:47] | Phlojo Gears: | and in this scenario |
| [15:47] | Jacek Antonelli: | aha |
| [15:48] | Phlojo Gears: | multiple landmarks can be opened at the same time |
| [15:48] | haon Arado: | that seems to make more sense |
| [15:48] | Jacek Antonelli: | yes, this way seems better |
| [15:48] | Phlojo Gears: | mutiple edit landmark floaters tat is |
| [15:48] | Phlojo Gears: | one thing to keep in mind tho |
| [15:48] | Phlojo Gears: | is that a single click |
| [15:48] | Phlojo Gears: | to load the landmark details |
| [15:48] | Phlojo Gears: | will not work anymore |
| [15:49] | Phlojo Gears: | as that would result in many, many edit landmark windows being opened by mistake |
| [15:49] | Phlojo Gears: | so we included a little edit icon next to each landmark |
| [15:49] | Phlojo Gears: | and we are also exploring the idea of having and edit button |
| [15:49] | Jacek Antonelli: | Hmm. I was thinking that double clicking would edit the landmark, not teleport |
| [15:49] | haon Arado: | double click is already used to teleport |
| [15:49] | Phlojo Gears: | in between new folder and delete |
| [15:50] | haon Arado: | or u could have right click |
| [15:50] | Phlojo Gears: | as opposed to an edit icon next to each landmark |
| [15:50] | haon Arado: | lil drop down menu |
| [15:50] | Jacek Antonelli: | Yeah, I guess Right Click > Edit would be good |
| [15:50] | Phlojo Gears: | right click will exist |
| [15:50] | Jacek Antonelli: | and consistent with the inventory |
| [15:50] | Jacek Antonelli: | I'm not a fan of the edit button :\ |
| [15:50] | Phlojo Gears: | but it needs to be a little more discoverable, so we're looking for a more obvious way |
| [15:50] | Phlojo Gears: | for the novice users etc |
| [15:50] | Jacek Antonelli: | hrmm |
| [15:51] | Phlojo Gears: | do u favor a little edit icon next to each landmark vs an edit button at the bottom? |
| [15:51] | haon Arado: | no |
| [15:51] | Jacek Antonelli: | I was just going to say, an edit button down next to the Delete one, hehe |
| [15:51] | haon Arado: | to easy to click by mistake |
| [15:52] | haon Arado: | both of them |
| [15:52] | Jacek Antonelli: | Having a button next to every landmark would be quite busy o_O |
| [15:52] | Phlojo Gears: | yes |
| [15:52] | Phlojo Gears: | that is true |
| [15:52] | Malbers Linden: | one button on the bottom is very standard rich UI design whereas an icon next to each entry is very Web-ish |
| [15:52] | Phlojo Gears: | but it wold allow one click access to the landmark details |
| [15:52] | Phlojo Gears: | one shared edit button at the bottom |
| [15:52] | Phlojo Gears: | rsults in a cleaner ui |
| [15:53] | Phlojo Gears: | but requires 2 clicks for each landmark to be opened |
| [15:53] | Phlojo Gears: | so there are pros and cons |
| [15:53] | Jacek Antonelli: | I don't think 2 clicks is a problem |
| [15:53] | Phlojo Gears: | for both |
| [15:53] | Malbers Linden: | as always |
| [15:53] | Malbers Linden: | tradeoffs |
| [15:53] | Phlojo Gears: | :) fair enough |
| [15:54] | Jacek Antonelli: | I mean... I have trouble imagining a situation where I would need really fast access to tons of landmark details |
| [15:54] | Kippie Friedkin: | Good point. |
| [15:54] | Benjamin Linden: | that's good feedback Jacek |
| [15:54] | Phlojo Gears: | yeah |
| [15:54] | Malbers Linden: | yeah -- the more common use case is to TP not to edit details |
| [15:54] | Benjamin Linden: | is there some high-level detail that would give you more context? |
| [15:54] | Benjamin Linden: | like the region/parcel name? |
| [15:54] | Phlojo Gears: | so, with that being said - edit button probably is it |
| [15:55] | Phlojo Gears: | Show on Map icon does that |
| [15:55] | haon Arado: | having it as a right click i think is very novice friendly and it would eliminate either edit buttons |
| [15:55] | Benjamin Linden: | right-click menus are hard for some users, Haon |
| [15:55] | Phlojo Gears: | i think... re Show on Map |
| [15:55] | Jacek Antonelli: | I think the edit button is good to have... if only to appease the Mac users ;) *grin* |
| [15:56] | Benjamin Linden: | less discoverable |
| [15:56] | Benjamin Linden: | right and bad for mac users |
| [15:56] | Kippie Friedkin: | lol...hey now |
| [15:56] | Tinker Toll: | guys, this page has not yet rezzed for me, can erybody else see it ok? |
| [15:56] | Jacek Antonelli: | hehehe |
| [15:56] | haon Arado: | :D good point jacek |
| [15:56] | Benjamin Linden: | yes, I can see it Tinker |
| [15:56] | Phlojo Gears: | same here |
| [15:56] | Adam Marker feels .... slightly appeased | |
| [15:56] | Benjamin Linden: | maybe try zooming in on it? |
| [15:56] | Phlojo Gears: | maybe u need a mac :P |
| [15:57] | Jacek Antonelli: | An "Edit" button isn't that expensive, anyway. In terms of real estate |
| [15:57] | Phlojo Gears: | that is true |
| [15:57] | Jacek Antonelli: | Okay, shall we move along? Almost out of time :O |
| [15:57] | Phlojo Gears: | yes |
| [15:57] | haon Arado: | yup |
| [15:57] | Phlojo Gears: | next pdf page please |
| [15:57] | Phlojo Gears: | just for one sec |
| [15:58] | Phlojo Gears: | u will see, on the next page, the right click menu |
| [15:58] | Phlojo Gears: | and also, the above mentioned "Show on Map" and "Copy SLURL" icons |
| [15:59] | haon Arado: | i like the idea of having the edit but plus the right click |
| [15:59] | haon Arado: | button* |
| [15:59] | Jacek Antonelli: | (A small comment... the one-letter buttons, like E, m, s... I was confused what they meant, so I'm hoping they're just stand-ins for the full text description) |
| [15:59] | Phlojo Gears: | yeah, they are |
| [15:59] | Kippie Friedkin: | Yes, they will most likely be icons. |
| [15:59] | Benjamin Linden: | they will be icons |
| [15:59] | Jacek Antonelli: | cool |
| [15:59] | Jacek Antonelli: | sounds good |
| [16:00] | Phlojo Gears: | and they will be repositioned to fit next to the area info |
| [16:00] | Phlojo Gears: | and traffic |
| [16:00] | Phlojo Gears: | not next to the editable name text field |
| [16:00] | Jacek Antonelli: | great |
| [16:00] | Jacek Antonelli: | The right-click menu looks good, as well |
| [16:01] | Jacek Antonelli: | Copy SLURL +1 :D |
| [16:01] | Kippie Friedkin: | ;-) |
| [16:01] | Phlojo Gears: | shall we stop here, continue the wireframe discussions, or move on to the nav bar designs? |
| [16:01] | Phlojo Gears: | i am fine either way |
| [16:01] | haon Arado: | me too |
| [16:01] | Benjamin Linden: | I actually need to run but please continue. If someone would send me the transcript I'd appreciate it. |
| [16:01] | Kippie Friedkin: | Sure thing. |
| [16:01] | Benjamin Linden: | thanks Kippie! |
| [16:01] | Kippie Friedkin: | I'm fine to continue as well. |
| [16:02] | Kippie Friedkin: | a pleasure, Ben :) |
| [16:02] | Jacek Antonelli: | yes, let's continue :D |
| [16:02] | Phlojo Gears: | ok |
| [16:02] | Phlojo Gears: | before we do so |
| [16:02] | Malbers Linden: | i gotta run too. talk next week. |
| [16:02] | Phlojo Gears: | can I get a vote from everyone as to which solution is preffered? |
| [16:02] | Kippie Friedkin: | Cya Malbers! |
| [16:02] | Jacek Antonelli: | Take care, Ben and Malbers! |
| [16:02] | Phlojo Gears: | Unified, or Separated ? |
| [16:02] | haon Arado: | seperated floaters |
| [16:02] | Jacek Antonelli: | I like the separated floaters |
| [16:02] | Tinker Toll: | separated |
| [16:02] | Phlojo Gears: | take care Ben |
| [16:03] | Phlojo Gears: | and Malbers |
| [16:03] | Jacek Antonelli: | Uses less space in the common case |
| [16:03] | Jacek Antonelli: | and allows multiple editing, as well :D |
| [16:03] | Phlojo Gears: | anyone for unfied? |
| [16:03] | haon Arado: | way more practical |
| [16:03] | Phlojo Gears: | not trying to push unified, just curious |
| [16:03] | haon Arado: | doesn't look like it :) |
| [16:04] | Phlojo Gears: | :) that is true |
| [16:04] | Phlojo Gears: | let's have a look at the nav bar designs |
| [16:04] | Kippie Friedkin: | cool |
| [16:04] | Phlojo Gears: | can we load those Kippie? |
| [16:04] | Kippie Friedkin: | You got it, Phlo |
| [16:04] | Phlojo Gears: | danke |
| [16:04] | haon Arado: | ooo kool |
| [16:05] | Phlojo Gears: | we have two general directions |
| [16:05] | Phlojo Gears: | and a few variations for each |
| [16:05] | Phlojo Gears: | one is centered nav |
| [16:05] | Phlojo Gears: | the other accounts for a left justified nav |
| [16:05] | Phlojo Gears: | by default, in both situations the nav bar is colapsable |
| [16:05] | haon Arado: | can we see the one that would be on the left |
| [16:05] | Phlojo Gears: | so on the screen u see the centered colapsed |
| [16:06] | Phlojo Gears: | next slide please |
| [16:06] | Phlojo Gears: | haon, we'll get there in 2 slides or so |
| [16:06] | haon Arado: | kool :) |
| [16:06] | Phlojo Gears: | so now here is the centered in a boxier treatment |
| [16:06] | Phlojo Gears: | and next page please |
| [16:06] | Phlojo Gears: | the same desgn style with rounded corners |
| [16:07] | Phlojo Gears: | we already know that we are going to simplify the history pulldown |
| [16:07] | Phlojo Gears: | so that it isn't so visually heavy |
| [16:07] | Phlojo Gears: | and more along the lines of a standard pull down |
| [16:07] | Phlojo Gears: | ex: Gesture pull-up menu |
| [16:07] | Jacek Antonelli: | cool |
| [16:07] | Phlojo Gears: | next slide |
| [16:08] | Kippie Friedkin: | yes, sir! |
| [16:08] | Phlojo Gears: | :) |
| [16:08] | Phlojo Gears: | here we have the left justified |
| [16:08] | Phlojo Gears: | in the inactive mode |
| [16:08] | Phlojo Gears: | and (next slide) |
| [16:08] | Phlojo Gears: | the active/visible mode |
| [16:09] | Phlojo Gears: | as u noticed, the functionality on these is similar |
| [16:09] | Phlojo Gears: | and we have a back button |
| [16:09] | Phlojo Gears: | forward button |
| [16:09] | Phlojo Gears: | a unified history pulldown |
| [16:09] | Phlojo Gears: | which shows the current location as highlited |
| [16:09] | Phlojo Gears: | and the back and/or forward locations above and bellow |
| [16:09] | haon Arado: | awsome |
| [16:10] | haon Arado: | i like the centred idea just for the sake of symetry |
| [16:10] | Phlojo Gears: | this simplifies the ui, so that we dont need to have 1 pull down for each button |
| [16:10] | Phlojo Gears: | next |
| [16:10] | Phlojo Gears: | we have a few design variations |
| [16:10] | Phlojo Gears: | on the left and centered |
| [16:11] | Phlojo Gears: | these next designs, are even closer to the Dazzle look and feel |
| [16:11] | Phlojo Gears: | next slide |
| [16:11] | Phlojo Gears: | (this is the left with rounded corners) |
| [16:11] | Phlojo Gears: | next slide please |
| [16:12] | Kippie Friedkin: | apologies...a little laggy over here at the moment |
| [16:12] | Phlojo Gears: | np :) |
| [16:12] | Phlojo Gears: | same functionality, different design treatment |
| [16:12] | Phlojo Gears: | and 2 slides dow, we have this same design in a left justified format |
| [16:12] | Phlojo Gears: | down* |
| [16:13] | Phlojo Gears: | so, first i am curious as to which is prefered, centered or left ? |
| [16:13] | Kippie Friedkin: | one sec, sorry...something's acting a little funky |
| [16:14] | Phlojo Gears: | left vs center? |
| [16:14] | Phlojo Gears: | anyone? |
| [16:14] | haon Arado: | center |
| [16:14] | Tinker Toll: | center |
| [16:14] | haon Arado: | again for symetry |
| [16:14] | Jacek Antonelli: | Centered is good -- it creates a spatial relationship with the location on the top menu bar |
| [16:14] | Phlojo Gears: | ok |
| [16:14] | Jacek Antonelli: | I really like that theme, too. :D |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | which one? |
| [16:15] | Jacek Antonelli: | The darker blue with silver buttons |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | the first progressive one |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | or the Dazzeled one? |
| [16:15] | Jacek Antonelli: | Yeah. It doesn't fit with Dazzle at all, but... well, I'd rather Dazzle change to fit this one, lol |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | as in, round buttons or little square-ish buttons? |
| [16:15] | Jacek Antonelli: | Rounded ones |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | ok |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | it draws insiparation from Dazzle |
| [16:15] | Phlojo Gears: | somewhat |
| [16:16] | Phlojo Gears: | as far as clor palete |
| [16:16] | Jacek Antonelli: | And the bigger buttons are nice, too |
| [16:16] | Phlojo Gears: | and we are going to do another variation on it, to make the buttons be a little more Dazzle like |
| [16:16] | Phlojo Gears: | replicate the same gloss/reflection treatment |
| [16:16] | Jacek Antonelli: | Alright, if you must... ^_^; *not such a fan of the Dazzle treatment* |
| [16:17] | Phlojo Gears: | not that I want to speak for Ben, but he also liked the round buttons treatment |
| [16:17] | Phlojo Gears: | but in a left justified position |
| [16:17] | Jacek Antonelli: | The left-justified one is acceptable, but I'd prefer the centered one, slightly |
| [16:18] | Phlojo Gears: | alright... any other comments, ideas... |
| [16:18] | haon Arado: | me too with rounded buttons |
| [16:18] | Phlojo Gears: | words of wisdom :) insirational quotes ? :) |
| [16:18] | Jacek Antonelli: | hehe |
| [16:18] | Jacek Antonelli: | Keep your ears dry and your nose clean? |
