Hi, Design Team!
I got a little issue with the new filter panel introduced in Transmission 2.11. I desided
to ask here because it's part of Fedora and there are people experienced in UI
design.
The GUI client used to have nice buttons [1] that allowed to jump quickly between the
lists of active / paused / seeding torrents, etc. Now that there are options added, the
control has been converted into combo boxes [2].
The issue is pretty simple: I dont' like the extra-click-and-choice it takes to use
the combo boxes.
I have posted a ticket [3] to the trac trying to explain my concern. Being disappointed I
made myself sound offensive, which I regret and feel very sorry for. However, the
developer agreed to see a new solution that wouldn't narrow back the current
functionality. Tabs wouldn't work. I'd like to consult with designers if this can
be improved any further. Maybe Máirín or Jakub would have an idea?
Thank you.
