Lectora 11 Interface questions
February 12, 2014 12:00 AM
Hello, I'm currently trying Lectora 11 (coming from Lectora 9) and I'm just puzzled by the inefficiency of the interface. Am I missing something?
#1 Properties
Is there no way to look at the properties outside of the ribbon (pane/window as it used to be)?
Searching the forum, it seems that if the ribbon is forced and that I also have to hover over a very little arrow to get the HTML object name every single time (frustrating enough).
#2 Actions
Again, this also used to be a docked/floating window that was easy to read. Now, it's in the ribbon, HORIZONTALLY, with images? I found the Action Pane and it's already much easier to read, but is there a way to edit the actions in the Action Pane?
Overall, I can't see why you'd design your entire interface to have users reading horizontal information at the very top of the screen.

Lectora has been obviously designed with slower, less tech-savvy users in mind. The horizontal ribbon interface with pretty pictures and such is aimed at them. Pro developers are a minority, so nobody cares too much about their needs. "You want to easily see html object names? Pfft!"
:)
It appears that they modeled after MicroSoft to make it easier for people who use those tools.
