Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
Ubuntu Version: 8.10
Package Version: 0.1.9
There are currently several HIG violations in usb-creators (at least simply checking the glade file and quickly scrubbing the code).
* warning/info/error alerts don't respect spaging, alignent, button labels, text labels, title and other stuff
* main dialog don't respect alignmet, spacing, suggested layout for frames and separators, accelerators
You can check both here[1] and here[2]
Here is attached a quick edit of existing glade file with suggested changes.
Unfortunately some widget names was breaked by my glade-3 so you can use it in code :-( I'll try to manually rename them in the next days.
PS however could be a good idea switch from glade to GtkBuilder, but I ignore current pygtk support to it

Changed in usb-creator (Ubuntu): | |
status: | New → Confirmed |
A small update, now as well behaving working patch.
Changed from previous glade mochup:
+ fixed widget IDs, now it works (at least the main window is showed)
+ used "USB thumb drive" as in gvfs/hal (is it ok? or simply "USB drive"?)
+ increased the minimum vertical width of treeviews (HIG says you should have at least 4 rows)
+ fixed expand in titles
+ used "drive-harddisk" as window icon (just a placehoder..)
Missing
- a secondary label for confirm exit alert
- check at runtime (I've to cleanup my usb thumb drive..)
Ideas
* grey out the "target_vbox" widget if no source is added
