[Bug 228414] [NEW] Layout has become more complicated

[Joseph Price]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnomebaker

In Gutsy, upon starting gnomebaker, the user is presented with four huge
buttons, being the 4 main common tasks. Its easy for the user to choose
the one they want. On the next screen, they then have two panes, left
and right and can drag files from the left, their drive, to the right,
the cd. Once done, they burn.

In Hardy, the situation seems much more confusing. There are several, almost evenly emphasised options on how to continue. Do they click "New" top left?.. oh that gives the same options as below.
Once choosing one, the bottom half swaps to give a tree view of the image on the left, and files in the selected folder on the right. I don't think this is very clearly presented either. The grey bar that splits the two is almost the same colour as the background in each window, making the distinction harder.
There are also two add/removes...
 * One is 'add', 'remove' on the top (file system), which adds the selected folder to nautilus' favourites. I don't believe this is needed in a disc burning application.
 * The second is 'add file(s)', 'remove selected'. These are useful and should stay ;)

In summary I think things could be made 'slightly' easier if the gutsy
'start screen' was returned and if the add/remove buttons mentioned
above were removed, pending a real usability study.
