Make the main interface more intuitive

[Emilien Klein]

In my opinion, the main interface is pretty hard to understand for a new user. It would be nice if we could think of different ways to make it simpler for new users to understand.

In particular new users could be asking the following questions: (see attached screenshot)
- What is the different between the 2 url fields, why can I change one and not the other? (see the 2 red zones)
- What is this empty and inactive box doing here, I can't change anything and nothing is happening (see yellow zone)

I'm sure that we can find ways to make the interface more intuitive.

I have added "0%" at startup and a tooltip

I am reopening this bug report because I am not the only one confused by the user interface.

Reported by sziszi in Bug #479692, as question 4:

Question:
Why seemed the "URL to sending" field to input field(When I can't modificate the text/value/data). "URL for recieving" has a grey background(because it mark the input field which is uneditable)

First answer by Guido:
4) now the 2 text box are both white :)

I think we would need to have some kind of thinking about this double textbox... I guess that it was not only about the color, but more that people don't understand what those 2 different boxes are/mean.

[Guiodic (Guido Iodice) (guido-iodice)]

@Emilien: each text box has a label (sending, receiving).

[Emilien Klein (emilien-klein)]

Yeah, there are labels, but I have the feeling that we could do something better...
The idea is to know that there is a potential issue, and to think about it, not to resolve it right now. That's why it's good that you've set it as Wishlist.

If you (or someone else) have an idea (although vague) about gui refit, please write here.

I tried to do a tabbed gui but because some Gambas bug (gui freeze during transfer) it is worst :(

Change button instead of tabs?
Change between Receiving and Sending
