Thanks for the feedback - we'll give it some more thought. Power users should not be denied the use of ⌘N and ⌘O, and the new Xcode is done better. You are able to choose from Recent Documents instead of getting the standard Open dialog.īut I just checked again and found that, indeed, theirs is not modal. If you set one or more document(s) (in Settings ▸ Open/Save) to open upon launch, then you don't see this dialog. Let me tout here that we made two improvements over Sandvox implementation:ġ. We decided to go with the Welcome after seeing it used in Sandvox, which won an Apple Design Award in 2007. Don't you know you're supposed to hit ⌘N?" But many people don't, and this has been changing recently - as you mentioned even Apple's Xcode has a Welcome window now. The power-user in me wants to reply with "Well do you want us to splash you like a Windows app? DUH this is a MACINTOSH. We have received many support requests from new Bookdog users who say "I launched your app and it doesn't do anything". If you happen to know the answer to someone elses question. Other than that, keep it clean and post away. The answer to your question may already be there Also, please choose the most appropriate forum to post your question in. Please do a thorough search before posting a new topic. We wanted to give people some help, though. Welcome to the OneSpan Community Platform forums. Since most people will only have one document, we almost made BookMacster a non-document application, but didn't want to start with that limitation. That's why I have 5 *.bkmshlf files sitting in a Dropbox. Also I don't want to 'consolidate BMs across all browsers' just yet. I'm using BookMacster to sync between a travel lappy and a desktop machine (via DropBox).ĭepending on which machine I'm on I prune dead bookmarks,and sync back. I also have History Hound to search all my Bookmarks, and Highbrow to open in the last browser used. Do I need to set all 5 to open at runtime? Or one that I do not want, have to dismiss? Ummmm right now when I hit Cmd-o I end up in the recent shelves that I've been working on.Īside I'm probably not your typical user. And it has that funky checkbox so that power users don't feel like they're being blindered into one way into the app.Ĭoncerning your point #1, Um, I may not know which recent shelf I want to work on beforehand. If I had something like that it'd be big enough not to get lost, and it's one dialog, not two, to get the user where he needs to go. Except instead of recent projects, try putting 'Recent BookmarkShelves' in there. This is just my 2 yen, but if you must use a Welcome screen (and you should for beginners) take a look at Flux, which follows a common model. I'm not using the Agents either, but that may change. Why, because, at this point I'm using individual bookmarkshelves per browser/service and I may not want to 'default' to one of them. Right now on my busy desktop with open b/g Windows these smaller dialogs get lost in the clutter.Ģ/ I have to blow thru 2 of these 'little modals' to get to where I want to go, which is Cmd-O. If it was a bigger welcome screen, I could "see" what's holding me back from using Cmd-O or Cmd-N. I think there are two things that would "irritate" a power user like me.ġ/ The modal dlogs are too small.
