[64studio-devel] General usability

[tim hall]

Hi all,

I don't suppose this will come as much of a surprise to you, but 
yesterday I was pleased to discover that importing audio from a CD and 
pictures from a camera has become as easy as it is on a modern AppleMac.

SoundJuicer did everything I wanted it to and similarly importing photos 
from a Sony Cybershot camera using gthumb was intuitively obvious. The 
only change I'd make would be to put a rotate button on the toolbar and 
make it clear in the batch transform dialog that 'Apply to all' means 
'Apply to all selected'. Very minor points really. I'll drop a bug 
report their way when I have a moment. Both devices presented an icon on 
the desktop when the media was inserted and behaved how I wanted them to.

I nearly fell off my chair!

It's for reasons like this that I am starting to recommend 64studio to 
Jo Public - the kind of ordinary computer users that I usually argue 
don't exist. ;)

I do have one little complaint:
On 64studio upgrades, could you stop re-setting the GDM theme? It's 
really starting to annoy me.
Do you need a formal bug report for this?

All in all, I think we could quite easily argue that 64studio provides 
the best potential upgrade path from WindowsXP now.

cheers,

tim
