UX: usability suggestions

[adam.oczos (a_O)]

Hey.
So far I see the alpha version stable, but I have few usability suggestions:

1. Usually all confirmation dialogs have OK / SAVE / CONNECT button to the right and CANCEL / NO to the left. But the main Core T window has it the other way Confusing, especially when the tunnel setting dialog actually has SAVE to the right, but CONNECT was moved to the left. Suggestion: switch CONNECT and SETTINGS positions
2. I miss a tray icon with tunnels easily selectable
3. Duplication window has DUPLICATE button to confirm changes. I was confused: will it be duplicated again if I press it? What about a standard SAVE button instead? You have the entry created already, so no need to “duplicate” again.

More ranting to come

One more.
I’d love to save a tunnel, even though its data is incomplete. Reason?
I was trying to create a chain, but I didn’t remember all details of proxies in the middle. I couldn’t create a placeholder to later come back to it and add missing pieces, as I was forced to provide the IP, ports and other stuff I wasn’t ready with.

I did quick testing and switch the two buttons, I feel really unnatural, and even more confused. Regardless of Connect button, Cancel, Save and Settings… should sit together to make user feels the logicality – the right most buttons are editing related.

Status icon in system menu bar

What you would like to see in status icon menu? Please comment and share you thoughts Originally proposed at here:

Couldn't agree you more

And another catch while review this issue: Delete button shouldn't sit there in duplicating and creating stages, since Cancel button can do the deletion job.
