Love having the button right there, but it would be soooo much more useful if it had a sync status indicator and a sync button there as well.

Thinking about it, I'd like it to be a "Sync and then open" button....

Sometimes I think there can be such a thing as overdesigning.
If you have a "sync, then open", You'd need three buttons: 1. A sync 2. A sync then open 3 An open Or at the very least a minimum of 2. (because not everyone is going to want to sync before opening) Also, with a sync then open, what happens if the sync fails, for whatever reason. Do you open? Do you produce an error message with an ok/cancel style thing, deciding whether to open or not. Do you give them a try again? Whenever you code, you have to consider all the possibilities when things dont work. I think a "sync then open" button adds a lot of complexity and design decisions for what amount to saving a single click. Instead i think it makes more sense to have both. (having two buttons). A sync button and an open button. Last edited by mirtos; September 20th, 2014 at 04:42 AM. |
