Move "Optimize Current Preset" on the same level as "Optimize All Presets"?

  • Yes (move to same level)
  • No (keep the current implementation)

Having 2 buttons with almost the exact same text right next to each other is a recipe for mis-clicks. Especially when the action is happening invisibly and the user would have no idea that they had mis-clicked, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

But if the 1st button looks lonely, I know how you can fill that space! :heart_eyes:

I think that needs considering. here is how it looks with the evaluate option enabled.

Alternatively:

(Edit: Maybe not, it is an obscure option)

Any thoughts on this?

I submitted a translation to correct Optimise to Optimise Current Preset. Hopefully that will make this easier to visualise :wink: for all our en-GB folks.

I find myself wondering – and this is probably a question for @Expertium – what is the problem that this is trying to fix? :person_shrugging:t4:

Is there an issue with the buttons taking up too much vertical space in Options? That seems like it would only be an issue on small screens, and on the phones I’ve checked, these buttons won’t even fit together on 1 line due to the length of the text.

It’s trying to fix the “current implementation looks ugly” problem

I think there should be a single button Optimize which opens a dialog message with a checkbox Optimize all presets, a Cancel button, and an OK button.

Maybe do another checkbox with “only this preset” next to an “Optimise” button. Thoughts?

Checkbox is a terrible idea. It creates confusion and inconvenience for those who only use “Optimise“ (and not “Optimise All Presets").
“Optimise” (only a single preset) should be the default because it doesn’t produce “side effects“ so to speak.
If you are considering making checkbox behavior, then it should be another way around: “Optimise“ is a standalone button, and “Optimize All Presets“ is a checkbox.

I, however, have the same opinion as Danika: nothing should be changed.
You are trying to polish something that doesn’t need polishing.

@Danika_Dakika this should prevent misclicks. Thoughts?

The toggle can be on by default, just like we do for health check.

IMO, it looks really bad. I don’t know, we already have 2 toggles, adding another doesn’t sound that bad to me.

This will look different on mobile devices.

To prevent accidental clicks, you can display a “Are you sure?” window.

Aside from there still being no user-focused reason to make a change at all …

This seems wrong to me from a right-handed-design/right-thumb/mouse-user perspective. When there are right-aligned buttons in a UI, those are usually primary, aren’t they? Even though the other buttons in this section are left-aligned, it still seems like right-aligning this one gives it prominence – lined up so nicely right under those switches.

The text of the main button will be longer than what you have in that image – “Optimiz[s]e Current Preset.” And even if you left/right-align the buttons, they will start to look just like side-by-side buttons as the screen/window gets smaller – until eventually there isn’t room to have them on the same line at all.
