Description Michael Leupold 2008-10-26 17:00:24 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

(note: I'm not by any means a usability guy so feel free to INVALID this wish :)).

I think the "Edit Data" part of the shape is hard to use for several reasons:
1. The "general" RMB context menu seems stuffed with all the options. It would be better to put that into submenus to unclutter
2. It would be great to have the context menu react to the context so you'd get the options you need by clicking on a column header (insert/delete column) or row header (insert/delete row). Basically more spreadsheet-like.
3. I'm not sure if this is neccessary, but currently the dialog isn't usable unless you figure out you have to rightclick on the table area.
4. (Just adding this here out of convenience) It would be nice to have a "Ok" and a "Cancel" button on the dialog as closing using the window's "X" feels "not right".
