[Bug] 1.1.2 / Yliaavanlampi - Inconsistent UI / Icons usage in browser [released]
asked 2015-02-19 17:17:01 +0200
When I select Transfers in browser I will get 'Share link' menu and when I click icon that is same as for 'Mobile Network' I'll get 'Transfers' menu.
Edit: Since this looks like to be more design error instead of being a bug:
Three circles are originally used for Transfers in System Settings so using the same icon for different operation (share) makes user interface inconsistent and not intuitive to use. Also, when file is downloaded it only triggers Transfers page.
Edit: 7.9.2015 - Fixed in 1.1.9.28 - mobile connection enable/disable has a new icon.
IMHO I don't think it's a bug, but they just ran out of icons. :D Because I thought the three circles were ment to mean "Share" and the data icon for "Transfers". At least in my head the icons are logical for what they do, but they don't follow the rest of the UI, thus something needs to be changed.
