The GTK file chooser is probably the worst AND most inconsistent example of UX that I've ever seen

Contribute! Maybe you get a part of the 1 million Euro they got from the Sovereign Tech Fund.

Contribute with UX changes? To GNOME maintained software?

When it's an enhancement?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality

Edit, found a neat lil' example:

Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?

Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.

I don't believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.

That's not how anything works.

That's a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don't want to deal with random people whining about it that's their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.

They do provide a free service (GTK's file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won't even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.

I don't know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism...

It's your prerogative to find them insufferable is what I meant to say. Your criticism and opinions are fair enough.

I've got to work on the fact that seeing the word "insufferable" on social media makes me instinctively get defensive ._.
