Single clicks aren't suposed to do anything

Postby buserror » Fri Mar 07, 2003 10:24 am

Thats my primary gripe about Metro in general:

The Mac HI has *always* been defined so that a mouse down in anything doesn't DO anything. The action always occurs when the mouse is *released* from the gizmo that has been clicked.
If you click, drag the mouse outside and release, nothing happends.

In metro lots of things happends on single clicks, and as a lifetime mac user I find it very annoying.

I already mentionned the numerical values that change immediately as you click, but there are many others, like that "SysEx Edit" modal dialog window that pops up if you make the mistake of single clicking a SysEx.

A Mac interface would involve:
+ Click the sysex
+ SysEx becomes hilited somehow. doesn't pop up anything
+ Select a menu item to "Edit SysEx"

Alternatively:
+ Double click the SysEx, the popup appears
+ Control-Click the SysEx, a contextual menu appears with "Edit"

Allrighty, next week, I'll rant about the default buttons suposed to be on the RIGHT of the dialog boxes :-)

I fully agree with buserror. Metro is basically a nice lean and powerful software, but the HI is not at all Mac-like and consistent. To attract new users this should be updated at first. Certainly much work and it may be difficult to maintain the actual compactness.

Do you hear a piano note when you press a piano key down or when it comes up? :)

I sure as hell wouldn't want to wait to hear a note in the graphic window on a mouse release.

If I click on a scrollable window anywhere on the mac - it better move up or down. hehehe.

Of course I know what you're getting but I don't really care either way.

>numerical values that change immediately as you click

agreed!
