Lotus notes should be mothballed
Here's a few of my favs:
- Shortcut for refresh view is F9 (the 'standard' refresh key of F5 is reserved to lock the lotus notes screen grrr)
- Printing support for meetings is horrendus - doesnt 'grow' any text areas that have scroll bars (ie more than 5 people at the meeting and it won't print them all out...)
- The calendar software is pretty ugly - never know what's gonna happen if you edit a meeting - might email everyone, might not email anyone of meeting changes. And occassionally drops one person and refuses to let me add them again...
- looks and feels like software from 1991.
I can't believe anyone is actually migrating TO notes rather than away anymore! As much as I hate outlook/exchange, it's a million times more user friendly than this.
Windows Explorer uses F5 for one! while F5 isn't always 'published' as a refresh key, that's what it more than often does.
ReplyDeleteAlso, check out this article (posted on 29 sept 2006, so very recent) - by the lead prod designer of Lotus Notes --> seems some other people are noticing this F5 issue also - "...Also, since a fair number of you have registered concerns with the fact that F5 is also refresh in a browser, we are considering giving Screen Lock a different shortcut key (or even no shortcut key at all, since you WILL have mnemonics and a menu item.). I cannot propose what the new key is yet because I'm going through a big trading exercise, comparing the shortcuts we get from Eclipse, Notes, and all three of the IBM Productivity tools.
I do admit that I am also considering mapping BOTH F5 and F9 to refresh. But having 2 keys do the same thing when I have so many applications vying for F keys will be a hard sell. Thoughts?"
Some of the comments on that article are valid -- I like the option of letting the user choose what they want - esp when you're attempting to do a cross platform app --> each OS and software developer has it's own style/usability guidelines.
Some people have a hobby to travel all around the world in there spare time or when they get holidays or summer vocation. During there journey they lock there memories in albums and during best essays they can see them to get relax and many others do as same as these travelers do jungles sports and there event and technology green living things.
