Re: [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.2.0 First Beta Release is now available for testing

Agreed. I use the right click functionality all the time and will miss it. With 70+ VMs, I may check status in a mobile interface, but I’m never going to use it for primary work. Please prioritize ease of use on Desktop over Mobile! ------------------------------ *From:* FERNANDO FREDIANI <fernando.frediani(a)upx.com&gt; *Subject:* Re: [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.2.0 First Beta Release is now available for testing *Date:* October 31, 2017 at 11:59:20 AM CDT *To:* users(a)ovirt.org On 31/10/2017 13:43, Alexander Wels wrote: Will the right click dialog be available in the final release? Because, currently in 4.2 we need to go at the up right corner to interact with object (migrate, maintenance...) Short answer: No, we removed it on purpose. Long answer: No, here are the reasons why: - We are attempting to get the UI more mobile friendly, and while its not 100% there yet, it is actually quite useable on a mobile device now. Mobile devices don't have a right click, so hiding functionality in there would make no sense. Please don't put mobile usage over Desktop usage. While mobile usage is nice to have in "certain" situations. In real day by day operation nobody uses mobile devices to do their deployments and manage their large environments. If having both options where you can switch between then is nice, but if something should prevail should always be Desktop. We are not talking about a Stock Trading interface or something you need that level or flexibility and mobility to do static things anytime anywhere. So I beg you to consider well before remove things which are pretty useful for a day by day and real management usage because of a new trend or buzz stuff. Right click is always on popular on Desktop enviroments and will be for quite a while. - You can now right click and get the browsers menu instead of ours and you can do things like copy from the menu. - We replicated all the functionality from the menu in the buttons/kebab menu available on the right. Our goal was to have all the commonly used actions as a button, and less often used actions in the kebab to declutter the interface. We traded an extra click for some mouse travel - Lots of people didn't realize there even was a right click menu because its a web interface, and they couldn't find some functionality that was only available in the right click menu. Now that being said, we are still debating if it was a good move or not. For now we want to see how it plays out, if a lot of people want it back, it is certainly possible we will put it back. that is something you are interested in. Its also much faster and better than before.
