goddi Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Clarification of Menu Items:I have been using PTE for a number of years. The View menu structure has always been a bit odd to me. I finally have figured out why it has been a bit of a struggle to understand it. I am suggesting some changes to make it more intuitive.First, there are basically two menus: a File List and a Slide List. I suggest that these two menus should be titled in the main screen. See the attached Menu Screen-1.gif.Secondly, revise the View menu to reflect this. This revised View menu consolidates all of the File List view choices and the Slide List view choices. See the attached View Menu.gif.Thirdly, to reflect the four Slide List views (Filename, Thumbnails, Timeline and Fullscreen), I suggest that each choice be reflected in the main screen. See the attached Main Screen-2.gif.I think these changes will remove some confusion and make the menus more intuitive.Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goddi Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Greetings,After about 135 views, I have only received one response. I was hoping we could get past personal attacks and get some constructive discussion on my suggestions. I really do feel the contents of the menus and their labeling can made more clear. Any feedback?Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
