Bug 233789

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

There are several usability issues with the current ksirk dialog for adding players
for a local game. If you don't use the TAB key then adding a player involves
some unnecessary mouse movements, as pointed out in the screenshot.

It shows that the input form for the player's name and nationality are pretty
far apart from the "Next" button, because the dialog seems to be designed for
small modal popup dialogs and should not have the same size as the game window.

There are ways to avoid this problem and I believe you can think of
much more than I'm going to present.

For instance you could transform this form into a customized modal dialog
(which of course includes the "Previous" and "Next" buttons), which seems to be
the simplest solution.

A more flexible approach would be to discard the "Previous" and "Next" buttons
all together.  Instead you could add some "Add" and "Remove" buttons and use a
listview or similar while retaining the rest of the form. The list would have
some constraints on the number of players the and duplicates should be prohibited  -- maybe with a nice "inlined" error message?.

On a prior dialog the number of players has to be entered. By using
implicit configuration you could just remove that spinbox, instead constraint
the list of players.

Thanks for your attention and have a nice day!
