Hello,
Thank you for your work !
I use Amaya for my site (www.djefer.com), however I notice some
troubles in handling.
I list here a set of trouble and improvment ideas :
1°) About the main ToolBar :
Why the E, S, C buttons behaves as Toggle Button but not H1, H2, H3
and Lists ? I mean, If I active the H1 on a text part, I can't disable
it easily.
It is possible to have a contextual toolbar depending on the object
used ?
2°) About simple use :
Adding a gif images shows an annoying comment : "The Alternate text is
mandatory"
There's a lot of bug in the table object :
a°) Build an 10, 10 table. Go to the first cell and try to do several
line.
b°) Build in the amaya introduction page a table of any size with a
border > 2. Then insert another table with a border of size 1, the
main table is resetted to a border of size 1.
c°) Build a 5, 5 table. Add a text in the first column in the first
row, then add a text in the second column in other line. We can't
select the first column content !
d°) Sometime a *** Thot: Irrecoverable error *** crashes Amaya with
tables.
3°) About menus :
I think, there's ergonomic problems.
Here, current main menu :
[File] [Edit] [Types] [Links] [Views] [Style] [Special] [Attributes]
[Annontations] [Help]
Example of change :
Types could be renamed as Objects. Links could be integrated in
it. Views could ne in an [Option] menu, [Special] could be integrated
in it. Is there an interest with Annotations ? Could be so in the
[Option].
[File] [Edit] [Objects] [Style] [Option] [Help]
| |
+ Links + Views
+ Special ( to rename Preference ).
[Attributes] is a contextual menu, it should be visible or active
without valid Object.
4°) Short cut :
I need to use Ctrl+Shift+B for active Bold, same thing for Italic.
5°) Popup Menu :
It will be better if contextual Popup Menu could be available. It will
avoid to find in main menu what we need.
6°) Window
Dialog box are not always straightforward. The first think, is that I
can't kill it using the [x] Window icon. I don't understand the
interest of the 'Clear' button. What is the difference between
'Done' and 'Apply' ? Same thing if 'Done' is for 'Confirm' why such
different name ?
For example : On the action Background image item, Clicking on the
Confirm button will do nothing, It should close the dialog and do
nothing without a Background.
7°) Navigation :
Previous and Next doesn't work very well in Edition Mode.
Ex : I'm creating a new page, When clicking the previous button <--
it goes to the Amaya Introduction page (which is I don't understand
why for edition). I can't go again to my new page.
Best regards,
Alexandre Brillant
