Re: [cdt-dev] Do we really need a refresh in Debug View?
|
My main argument is for giving the user the general ability to refresh
debugger views on demand, as I feel the need for it was being questioned.
I think it's a valid need and a feature CDT should provide. I think it's
useful to have that control on a per-view granularity, but I don't feel
terribly strongly about that. If it were made optional, that seems fine
to me; and if the per-view control wasn't there, oh well. But what I do
feel strongly about is that the capability be there at a minimum as a
global action (refresh all views) that is by default hidden. When I first
responded to this thread, I believed the action in the Debug view
refreshed all views.

- I really have to disagree. There are advanced and basic users
in both
- embedded and desktop environments, and supporting the basic users
is
- very important. The more buttons you give a new user the less
they
- like your product in my experience.
+1 My pet peeve is UIs that are overloaded with buttons. It's very
intimidating for new users. Buttons should only be provided for the most
basic operations that are used most often. Everything else should be in a
menu. And even then it should only be shown when and where
applicable.
- If the main - not only, but main - way to get in trouble is using
the
- debug console, then maybe the debug console is where the action
should
- be? Even if it's not only useful for the console, that seems
like a
- reasonable place for it.
