I’m having a tough time adjusting to the new editor, especially when trying to edit or add to panels, so much so…
I couldn’t wait to restart LL. Pierre, you have the best launcher, period.
]]>I feel like the post categories for the community could do with some work.
Here are the categories I think would work better (mostly very similar):
All Posts
News (mods only)
Get Help
Report a Bug
Suggest a Feature
Express Your Opinion
Share your setup
Translate LL
Scripts
APK’s
Custom Views
With those categories, it should be easier to find certain content. I’m not sure how moderation works on G+ as I have yet to be one but I would suggest a sticky post in each category detailing what to post and then move any misplaced posts to the correct category too so things are kept organized.
]]>Using beta:
Long pressing on an app item brings up the edit menu and then you have to long press again to be able to select actions or edit the icon or text. I feel it would be much better to have the actions menu show by default and have an edit item option in that menu that opens up the edit mode.
The actions menu is what you would expect to appear when you long press on an app in any other launcher. Most of the time I want to view the item in the play store or uninstall it but have to go through three menus or find it manually in the app which is just tedious. Of course if edit mode is active and the app item is long pressed it would be natural to assume the menu would be shown as it is currently.
]]>Pierre Hébert something just like this is what I’ve had in mind for a long time, it really needed something less…
This post could have been in the “App update news” section but it’s right place is here because I need your feedback.
Sorry for the poor video quality, bugs can be seen, and there is no audio, no comment, not even text (OT: by the way could someone suggest a decent and cheap video editor for Mac? I really like Camtasia but my trial ended, and the price is a bit expensive. It is worth every penny but I only make at most two videos a years…)
Back on topic now. I’d like to show a preview of what I am working on at the moment. This is a major UI rework to make editing faster. In short it consists in new bottom and right toolbars that can be shown/hidden using a little arrow in the bottom right corner (sorry no left handed mode yet). The content scaling is partly inspired by a post from TrianguloY .
There are also some utility boxes that can be shown/hidden too: one at the top for operations found in the usual popup menu (edition, position, actions), and one at the bottom for item properties (partly implemented on the video). This properties box will display settings that are now found under customize/item/more. The benefit of these toolbox is that they are “sticky”: select another item and the boxes are updated with the newly selected item values.
Also shown on the video are new undo/redo buttons, and new snapping options. No more confirmation on folder deletion, it can be undone 🙂 Folders can be cloned too (all items in fact).
This version is currently far from a beta and even from an alpha but I would really like to know your opinion on this new UI. I know this is uneasy to understand and feel it just by watching the video (without any comment…), if someone is interested in playing with it I will be able to provide a direct link to a snapshot tomorrow.
