I love Pencil and I'm really happy and grateful to see a new release.
However, I'm not at all keen on some of the UI changes.
1) The main problem I have is with the "Location & size" button which
I now need to click to show the values. This is less helpful than the
previous version because I cannot see the values changing as I move
objects around on the screen which means I cannot tell if they are in
the right position without stopping and clicking the button, then
adjusting the object, then checking the values and so on.
2) The similar "Alignment" button also now requires two clicks to
perform a command rather than one.
I suspect there is enough space to contain both sets of controls on
the toolbar without this.
3) The font colour of the inactive collection groups is too light and
I can barely see the collection name without needing to hover the
mouse over the name to make it darker in colour.
4) The single menu button instead of a menu now requires two clicks to
access the menus instead of one. An option to display all menus as
normal (as in Firefox) would be helpful.
5) I would prefer undo/redo buttons on the toolbar as they are
probably used by me more than the ones currently on the toolbar. I see
them on the context menu and big menu button but I don't instinctively
go to either to perform these commands and this requires two clicks
instead of one. I am still a bit of a mouse pointer guy over a
keyboard shortcuts guy but, in any case, less mouse clicks is better
for the more common features.
These issues effect on my productivity using Pencil. It would be
helpful if you could address these in the next version or perhaps
provide options to choose between menus styles.
Again, thanks for this excellent tool. I hope the above feedback is
helpful.
Regards
Mark
The toolbar buttons are too non-traditional to instinctively know what
they are for (although this is only a minor drawback as there are very
few buttons).
