Hi
We have been working on a Mac version of a java based desktop video
tagging product, and are coming slightly unstuck on UI design. We've
changed the UI and I'd be really interested/grateful to get your
feedback, comments and suggestions for improvement.
I'll elaborate a bit here to explain where we are at. This was
originally written as a Windows product, but was picked up by Apple.
As I'm sure you'll recognise, its written in Java and as such will
naturally suffer in comparison to other native Mac products in the
video arena. The plan is to rewrite in Cocoa, but commercially
speaking, we need a bit more traction with what we've got to justify
the cost, and obviously to ensure the improved user logic and ease of
use are correct before we green light the rewriting.
The thinking is that if the design is right for the Mac, we can
replicate if for the PC.
So I'm effectively asking you how to cosmetically enhance YourView-
written in Java- to appeal to a Mac audience with a view to ****ting
that to Windows.
There are aspects that are work in progress- the star ratings you see
will appear as just 1 star with a dropdown to represent the 5, and the
media controls are not the finished article to name a couple- again,
hit me with suggestions on this one, either on list or PM
The screenshots can be found here- this is the YourView classifier
(where the tagging takes place) :
