Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Proposal for the "Cross-Reference" dialog

Hello Björn, all,

I have done some progress in the Fields dialog (or Cross-Reference, as 
previously referred).Some points we must take into account, beyond what 
already said by Bjorn and me, is the number of clicks needed to complete 
a task versus how easy is to do them (by easy, I mean the distance 
between the two clicks and how clear is their visibility on the screen). 
Thinking about it, I made two mock-ups in HTML & CSS to the Wizard 
proposal. I just made the first step suggested by Björn, so there is not 
options for each task yeat.

You can interact with them in:
http://linkedej.com.br/libreofice-paulo/LibreOffice-Fields-Mockup-1.html
http://linkedej.com.br/libreofice-paulo/LibreOffice-Fields-Mockup-2.html
(Just tested in Firefox and Chrome)

The first proposal has in the first step just 2 task options: Set a 
field & Insert a field. The second step allow to set the field type and 
configure its proprieties. Done!

The second proposal has in the first step the choose of field type in 
each task (Set and Insert). The second step just allow to configure the 
field proprieties. Done!

In the Proposal 1, each task takes 2 or 3 clicks to be done. In the 
Proposal 2, 2 clicks ever. But  think is easier complete a task in 
Proposal 1 than 2 because it takes more time to look all possibilities 
now in the first step than just choose between 2 actions and then refine 
your choice.

If there is any a better way to present the Step 1 in the Proposal 2, 
keeping its 2 clicks and allowing easy to eye choise, I'd like to know. :D

Björn, I hope one of these proposals fit to your ideas. otherwise, 
please say me then I make a new mockup. :) I'd like to know your opinion 
on our next steps.

See you,
~Paulo
