Limit the need for Explorer/Finder/etc. altogether. For those cases where it is needed limit top level UI elements to the most commonly used items. Move the rest to either a toolbar or a contextual menu.
You know, I just checked Finder and realized that not only does it not have the things showed in this mockup, but that I have never missed them.
Strange.
- cytzol 15y agoDid you consider that you haven't missed these things because you aren't used to using them?
- revscat 15y agoNo, I don't think so. Every function given by this ribbon is available in Finder without buttons. I can give you the steps, if you'd like.
- cytzol 15y agoIf you have to give me steps, then I think you've missed the point of the Ribbon! The Finder has a lot of places you can perform operations on a file: the menu bar, the toolbar, the Get Info inspector, and the context menu. All the Ribbon does is turn them into buttons and put them in the same place. There's no remembering how to do stuff - and yes, some people can't remember how to do basic file management - because it's all done from the same row at the top. I could say the same thing about "Every function in the Finder I can do without having to use menus".
- untog 15y agoIf you have to explain steps to me then it isn't working like MS are discussing here. The whole point is that no-one needs to give you steps.
