[Suggestion] A couple of suggestions regarding usabilities by charlie_su1986 on 02-28-2005 at 08:35 AM

Hi all, and especially Patchou :bow:

I don't know if anyone has posted the same thing... well anyway here are some suggestions for the next release:)

1. For the configuration wizard, i think it will be good to add a new start page that has 3 choices(and maybe with a simple description below each option)
  ---This is the first time I'm using Messenger Plus!(If this one is selected then the wizard will continue.)
  ---Load my Preferences from file(If this one is selected then it will open up that import/export wizard)
  ---Use Preferences from previously installed Messenger Plus!(this option may be unnecessary since the user can simply click "close".  Well anyway, this is just a suggestion ;) )

2. In some sections of Peferences where the contact list is showned, such as Custom Names, Desktop Contacts...etc, it would be nice to have a "show full list" button that will open a full contact list in a new window (maybe in a few columns if the list is realllly long) and disable the box with contact list in preferences window.  This should be useful for people who think that it's a pain in the ass to scroll through the whole contact list when they got hundreds of contacts.

what do you think? :banana:

I really like the first idea and think that it could be useful for first users of plus! etc...

I don't think that the second idea would be useful at all :-/.

Patchou  is no longer open for suggestions as plus! is being tested

The first idea seems good - with a "Don't show this again" checkbox.

It will go into a list if he agrees and will be added to other versions of plus which will be coming out.
