Noticeable flaws in UI of 2014.0.0

[zarl]

These flaws appear (at least) in
2014.0.0-beta1 built by Matthieu DESILE
Mac OS X 10.6.8

- copyright date in "About" dialog (eventually needs to be fixed in the platform's build process, I'll report it anyway):
states "© 2004-2013" but needs to be "© 2004-2014"

- button "Identify" in Fast Panorama preview > Preview tab: the 'deselected' state looks almost identical to the 'selected' state, i.e. the button background shows a gradient in both states while it'll make more sense to have uniform background color for the 'deselected' state. Only the tiny icon inside the button shows a very thin framing which is almost undistinguishable. Also the function title of the button is both written on the button as well as below the button. Please compare with the buttons in the Move/Drag tab.

- Also in Fast Panorama preview > Preview tab: button "Grey picker" has the same issue as the "Identify" button.

- drag&drop images from Finder into Hugin still doesn't work on OS X, I'd at least expect it in the file list of the "Photos" tab (Advanced/Expert mode) or in the "Assistant" tab of the Simple mode

- Main window > Control Points tab: I remember shortcuts for Zoom (100%: cmd+1; fill frame: cmd+0). This doesn't work now.

- Also other shortcuts mentioned in help/Hugin_Keyboard_shortcuts.html don't work as expected: cmd+N /O / S work in the main window (when in Advanced or Expert mode) but not in Fast Preview

I hope this makes some sense. Some of it (if not most) should be limited to OS X.

Please, don't put so much different issues in one ticket. This makes it very difficult to track and to answer the different issues:

- copyright date in "About" dialog (eventually needs to be fixed in the platform's build process, I'll report it anyway): states "© 2004-2013" but needs to be "© 2004-2014"

Already fixed in rc1.

- The Identify and Color Picker buttons: these buttons are drawn by wxWidgets. This is nothing we can influence.

- drag and drop: this is a known issue and needs by fixed on Mac side. Please use the existing ticket
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/679983

- Main window > Control Points tab: I remember shortcuts for Zoom (100%: cmd+1; fill frame: cmd+0). This doesn't work now.

The keyboard shortcuts are 0 and 1 only (without command).

- Also other shortcuts mentioned in help/Hugin_Keyboard_shortcuts.html don't work as expected: cmd+N /O / S work in the main window (when in Advanced or Expert mode) but not in Fast Preview

In the fast preview window there is currently no new/open/save function directly accessible from the menu. So these functions are not directly accessible.

Hi Thomas,

sorry for putting so much unrelated issues into one report.

Thanks for the link to the earlier drag and drop report, I will add my part there, so we can forget about this here. Done.

I'll split up the other bugs in seperate reports. Sorry again.

Copyright issue should be fixed, thanks.

Zoom issue reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/678997

Buttons: in the wxwidgets documentation I found
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_bitmap_toggle_button.html
where different states of the toggle button are mentioned. Does that only apply to that tiny icon? If a larger bitmap with different state versions is needed (or can be used) which sizes are needed?
If there is a chance to improve this I'll start a new bug report for this issue.

Best,
Carl
