Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: The Tango Save Icon (Cabinet v/ Diskette) Under Discussion Again

Hi all,

this is not about opinion - this is the result of user testing. BTW - even 
Gnome users handle the disk better than the filing cabinet.

Perhaps you take a look at the results directly on the plattform. I will 
slowly continue to write about findings. But this will still take a while. And 
there a quite some 'bad' icons around.

So if there is any discussion about icon alternatives - let us test them (e.g. 
filing cabinet vs. disc vs. harddrive for save). Users a willing to 
participate. Setting up the tests will take few minutes. And the results are 
beyond opinion.

All the best,
Björn
