With Phil

  • Installed over old version, when running, got a weird combination of 0.3 and 0.4.
  • Not much help on the front page
  • uDig User's Guide page doesn't work
  • The first getting started entry has no page
  • 'The Workbench' page - screen shot has createMap button
  • Screenshots in multiple Operating systems is confusing - should be same
  • Can't view the help while a dialog is open
  • 'New Map' page doesn't really say what to do
  • 'New Map' Wizard, had to type in Project name
  • After creating a map, user didn't know which project we were in
  • Tutorial has two layers in screenshot, but instructions only say to select one.
  • 'Using popup' tutorial doesn't use popup!
  • Likes the layer icon
  • Progress bar is small and hard to see
  • In the layer's view, each layer has no right click menu
  • Looking for a legend
  • Confused between swamps,rivers in 'a simple project' - could not distinguish between swamps as a map and swamps as a layer in the registry
  • Adding a layer wizard appears to be creating a map (fault instruction)
  • 'Editors & views' - explains how to do things that should be known before doing 'a simple project'
  • Editor's page causes confusion - need to make clearer the difference between map in project & layer in registry
  • When map editor not selected, cannot access map tools
  • Paragraph about editing Doc file in Windows is weird
  • 'Views' - should put the mouse cursor in the screenshot
  • Reset Perspective is disabled
  • WMS view should not be there
  • Wanted to cancel rendering - couldn't find button. Tried pressing ESC
  • Maximized then minimized before rendering was finished. uDig went insane.
  • Pleasantly surprised that it saved maps between executions
  • Discovered that you can open a map by double clicking - checked right click menu first
  • Coordinates are aligned at the top, not middle
  • 'Navigating Local Registry' - confusing, doesn't really do anything
  • Importing->Import Wizard, doesn't select in help frame
  • Unable to see path to shapefile in registry
  • Unable to determine projection for shapefiles
  • Doesn't like the way zoom works
  • Holding the mouse button down and rolilng the mouse wheel in an attempt to zoom produces weird results
  • Both wheel directions zoom out
  • The delay when using the wheel is annoying
  • Both mouse icon and pan button icon should be the same
  • When panning, the old view appears sometimes and cause confusion
  • Panning icon should change when it is held down
  • Disabled icons look like they are cut off
  • While panning around, it zoomed to full extents randomly
  • zoom is very un-intuitive
  • zoom not responding properly, user frustrated
  • can't figure out how to delete layer from map, explored right click, menus
  • took too long to zoom to one feature (to figure out how)
  • moving vertex is the same icon as pan
  • explored how to turn off editning
  • Random blank view space appeared
  • Cannot remove items from local registry
  • Local Registry: remove button appears to be grayed out, but is clickable
  • When opening a previously used map, it didn't zoom to full extents
  • Local Registry to fast view, then dragged out, it died completely. attempted to revive it with Show View. uDig eventually died.
  • Once reopened, an imported shapefile did not initially appear in the registry. Once the map was reopened, it appeared.
  • 'Exiting the workbench' icon in help is wrong
