Re: [Ayatana] Default to single click to open files and folders

[Joern Konopka <cldx3000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I forgot to add something, sure we could use a Windicator for Selected Files, but i think we still should deliver something like the Notice in the Mockups, the Notice's only purpose is to cancel the Selection anyways, so its just a quick click if you mess up your Selection or change your mind.

The Windicator on the other Hand could hold a whole Array of Functions and might look something like this:

O <--click*

-------------------------------------------

3 Folder selected (78 Objects)

497 MB total

--------------------------------------------

-Archive these Files

-Encrypt these Files

-Synch to U1

-Synch to Dropbox

-Copy to Location 

-Move to Location 

-Send to..

--------------------------------------------

I hope i didn`t get something fundamentally wrong about the Windicators, if so, please enlighten me ^^.

Okay, two new Mockups.

The First One removes the Bottom Bar in Favor of a Chrome-Style Notice for the File Selection:

The Second One uses a Top Notice for File Selection, also it gives a little clue on how the hovered Icons would look like without a Border like suggested by Luke (it doesn't QUITE look like the actual Hover but you get the Idea):

I admit the Notices aren't really visually appealing, i just slapped em on there so we get an Idea of what it might feel like working with them.

Would you prefer the Notice to have a Attention-demanding color itself? Or maybe just the Icon? What do you say?

I moved the ThumbnailSize Slider to the Top, it's not really beautiful but it makes sense to have it there since its inline with the other "View" Functions. Im thinking about ways to integrate it better visually, but hey, it's just a Mockup ;)
