When Good Interfaces Go Crufty. An anonymous reader writes “A good article over at mpt on why good interfaces go crufty.” A nice read before or after a visit to the Interface Hall of Shame. [Slashdot]
Examples of Interface Cruft:
- Saving is outdated, we shouldn’t have to remeber to save what so ever. (mabye label versioning?)
- Mac’s Quit cruft (IE has this right)
- File Selection Dialog seperate from the file manager
- Tracking file references by unique id instead of name/path
- file path dependancies for program installations
- Right Click dragging issues in windows
