B3: Create Video: GUI design
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:32 pm
Currently, the GUI design of the "Create Video" dialog could be improved.
Some possible improvements:
- Add a group panel labeled with "Video Size" grouping the size controls (First image, Largest image, ..., Fit image to Video size).
- The large box which contains the message during creation should be labeled at the top with e.g. "Progress" or "Messages".
- The large box which contains the message should have a grey black ground (currently it looks as if the user could interact with the box, but in fact he/she can't do anything).
- Layout: Label "Filename", edittext "Filename", "Format", and other controls should be left aligned. Currently, the edittext "Filename" is not.
- If option 'Fixed size" is NOT checked, the fields 'Width' and "Height' should be greyed out (disabled).
- The message "Encoding ended..." should have no elipsis and rather be "Encoding completed.". (probably all translations)
- The messages "Encoding frame <x>" should have an elipsis. (probably all translations)
- Rather than just "Create Video" it should say "Create video slide show" or "Create slide show video" (native speakers, please help.) (Probably all translations)
Feedback to the above suggestions and/or additional suggestions are welcome.
