Description:
With Phil- Installed over old version, when running, got a weird combination of 0.3 and 0.4.- Not much help on the front page- uDig User's Guide page doesn't work- The first getting started entry has no page- 'The Workbench' page - screen shot has createMap button- Screenshots in multiple Operating systems is confusing - should be same- Can't view the help while a dialog is open- 'New Map' page doesn't really say what to do- 'New Map' Wizard, had to type in Project name- After creating a map, user didn't know which project we were in- Tutorial has two layers in screenshot, but instructions only say to select one.- 'Using popup' tutorial doesn't use popup!- Likes the layer icon- Progress bar is small and hard to see- In the layer's view, each layer has no right click menu- Looking for a legend- Confused between swamps,rivers in 'a simple project' - could not distinguish between swamps as a map and swamps as a layer in the registry- Adding a layer wizard appears to be creating a map (fault instruction)- 'Editors & views' - explains how to do things that should be known before doing 'a simple project'- Editor's page causes confusion - need to make clearer the difference between map in project & layer in registry- When map editor not selected, cannot access map tools- Paragraph about editing Doc file in Windows is weird- 'Views' - should put the mouse cursor in the screenshot- Reset Perspective is disabled- WMS view should not be there- Wanted to cancel rendering - couldn't find button. Tried pressing ESC- Maximized then minimized before rendering was finished. uDig went insane.- Pleasantly surprised that it saved maps between executions- Discovered that you can open a map by double clicking - checked right click menu first- Coordinates are aligned at the top, not middle- 'Navigating Local Registry' - confusing, doesn't really do anything- Importing->Import Wizard, doesn't select in help frame- Unable to see path to shapefile in registry- Unable to determine projection for shapefiles- Doesn't like the way zoom works- Holding the mouse button down and rolilng the mouse wheel in an attempt to zoom produces weird results- Both wheel directions zoom out- The delay when using the wheel is annoying- Both mouse icon and pan button icon should be the same- When panning, the old view appears sometimes and cause confusion- Panning icon should change when it is held down- Disabled icons look like they are cut off- While panning around, it zoomed to full extents randomly- zoom is very un-intuitive- zoom not responding properly, user frustrated- can't figure out how to delete layer from map, explored right click, menus- took too long to zoom to one feature (to figure out how)- moving vertex is the same icon as pan- explored how to turn off editning- Random blank view space appeared- Cannot remove items from local registry- Local Registry: remove button appears to be grayed out, but is clickable- When opening a previously used map, it didn't zoom to full extents- Local Registry to fast view, then dragged out, it died completely. attempted to revive it with Show View. uDig eventually died.- Once reopened, an imported shapefile did not initially appear in the registry. Once the map was reopened, it appeared.- 'Exiting the workbench' icon in help is wrong
