Re: Ideal menu structure, was: Menu structure reorganized

[Pongracz Istvan <..hidden..>]

Hi,

Here is a plan for the menu.
My partner did it.

<http://pongraczistvan.homelinux.com/pictures/lsmb_menu_plan.png>

Background:
My partner has 12 yrs of experiences of planning and building systems as
project manager. He is basically a logistic system designer and he is
professional.
He normally working with IT companies, workflow analyzing/design, system
design etc.
He knows the users very well and he knows lot of softwares. He can tell
us, which is important/critical in a software.


Description about the menu structure:
- Do not care of the left panel, that belongs to the editor :)
- On the menubar you can see the main categories (main menu). When you
click on the main category, you will get its submenus.
Clicking on the submenu, you can access actions. Sometimes some actions
appears in several submenus. This is not a mistake, but required.
- This kind of structure is ready to use for bigger companies with
several departments.
- Easy to navigate and easy to understand, and more or less, eye-candy.
This is very important.
- The LogWorld - Ledgersmb Projekt bar is for logos (width: 1/4, 2/4,
1/4)
the integrator's logo |  company logo and name | LedgerSMB logo
- Main categories: every item should have an icon before (above).


This structure is handy enough, comparing to a lot of commercial
softwares.

An other thing: it would be nice to use shortcuts to access menu items
etc. even with firefox.
I guess this should be a problem (but never checked, yet).

The long and short of it, a good interface is the first step to the
success.

My question is, is that possible to implement this kind of structure in
the 1.3?

And of course, any feedback are welcome.

Cheers,
IstvÃn
