What are you guys doing? Taking lessons from Google with the UI? I'm not using a damn touch pad!!!
Gotta now find the latest 1.3.x to download.. seems like website isn't making it easy to use older version.
bug fixes, great.. but what in the world are the THUMB-SIZED buttons and rows for? and the stupid symbols instead of easily understandable text labels on buttons?
And the fancy drawing, etc etc..
First off, how "easy" does it have to be anyway? Only someone kind of tech savvy will even want to use BTSync. But none-the-less.. it can still be easy and not stupid big.. as if some genius out there figured out that in order to be easy, it means HUGE FREAKING BUTTONS and everything.
At minimum, allow an "Advanced" or "Normal" theme.
Google UI on Mail and things like that just turned totally stupid some years ago when they ditched EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE buttons like "ARCHIVE" and "DELETE" with some crazy icons.. more recently replacing EASY and UNIVERSAL symbol for "cancel/close" which is the "X" and now it's some kind of stupid stair case or something? Some college intern calling the shots?
ok.. I'm done.. just had to barf up a little. Obviously overall, great system.. but it's just so sad when some UI team gets their hands on things to .. make a statement or something? The whole Windows 8 - like fad with crap colors and no borders and no curves with huge buttons just makes me want to walk away.
Hear, hear. Ever since Google took a crap on Gmail UI, I've been using userstyles to add labels to the buttons as well as different colours (yes, delete is red). One could do such customization with the web interface of Sync, I suppose...
I have been very happy with BitTorrent Sync, right up to the moment I updated to 1.4.91 some time ago. Now I am just about to roll back to 1.3.109, as I can't live with the user interface change. A lot of the "improvements" do not feel like improvements to me.
Exhibit A: A single "Add folder" button, one dialog box that allows you to either enter a key or generate one, and choose the folder.
Exhibit B: Two separate ways of adding a folder. WHY?
To me, 1.3 felt professional and tool-like, while 1.4 with the fades and mouseovers and the lot is everything but.
Are You Still Using Btsync 1.3.xx?
