LifeHacker launcher application voting and FARR Name

<< < (4/10) > >>

TucknDar:
One suggestion about the options (this was first brought up by icfu some time ago) is to make the options dialog more streamlined. The tabbed interface looks a bit confusing and is not very intuitive IMO. Like icfu suggested would be better with a "list" of sections on the left and the options under each section on the right.

Something like these examples:

LifeHacker launcher application voting and FARR Name LifeHacker launcher application voting and FARR Name LifeHacker launcher application voting and FARR Name


edit: Guess that was a little OT, but not farr... 'scuse the pun :-[

nitrix-ud:
the one really really annoying thing about FARR options is that when it looses focus you loose it !
IMHO, it should be a completely different window with save, apply and cancel buttons

in my experience the new options dialog of directory opus 9 is amazing
one should try it to believe it (especially the filtering...)

kartal:
Some people were even suggesting using clean desktop as a launcher. It is amazing.

Agree with the save/apply/cancel buttons, and how about a screenshot of the dopus9 dialog?

[...] we need more sites for informed comparative reviews rather than popularity polls.

Agreed!

Just to be clear, the "Best Application Launchers?" post on Lifehacker is a part of their ongoing Hive Five series. It's a two step (two posts) thing:
1. a call for contenders asks users to vote for any app in some category in the comments

2. the Lifehacker team picks the top five (vote count is a strong, or perhaps even the only, factor here) and posts a poll.

So as things are still at stage 1, let's hope that FARR makes it to the top five!

Also, an idea on how to factor experience with multiple programs into polls: ask users to vote FOR their favourite program from a limited list AND at the same time ask them to vote AGAINST one or more of the other listed programs but only if they have tried it and found it less good than their favourite. Use the negative votes to discount the positive votes in some way.
