![]() ![]() 2) SideFX is very welcome to be more pro-active about UI and UX improvements, without wrongfully believing that there is no interest from us because of the lack of RFE and bug reports. This is understandable harder and more time consuming than writing about more technical issues. The above considerations lead me to 2 conclusions: 1) we as users should really put more effort in filling RFEs and bug reports for UI/UX. It's harder to explain how your workflow is affected and how could it be made easier and faster by adopting some UI/UX solution: you are speaking about more intangible stuff like wasted mouse clicks, wasted mouse movements, readability, etc. Indeed it's easier to report that a specific node or parameter is broken, because you can easily build an example file to showcase the problem. This affect even more a big portion of the user-base that is not native english speaker. UI/UX issues are harder to communicate and often you give up in reporting them.They might just slow you down but you don't know it. UI/UX issues are often hidden or not perceived (and thus not reported to the Support) because sometimes they don't really break anything. ![]() But in the long term they affect every workflow and they add up easily. They are not perceived as an immediate danger. UI/UX issues don't impact you in the short term indeed.I too give priority to ask for help for my very short term issues in a project. the user has a time budget that can allocate for writing to the Support and I can imagine he would spend said time for stuff that directly impact the work he's currently doing.But here's the catch about this possible scarcity of RFEs and bug reports about UI/UX: So wouldn't be fair here to blame SideFX, and I'm far from doing it. ![]() The problem with SideFX not perceiving that UI/UX improvements are as well important (and thus not really committing to it) might really well be in the lack of RFEs submitted and their volume compared to other areas. Then I realized that one of them is actually a duplicate of a RFE I had already sent almost 4 years ago. I spent my Sunday morning sending 7 RFEs/bug reports just for the Geometry Spreadsheets ALONE, and I'm not even done about it. ![]()
