[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Frame Device icon Volumes

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

working on the 'reveal palette on left click' behavior change for the 
Frame device icons [1] I came across the following behavior for the 
Volumes device icons:

- when you click on the icon it will resume the Journal and show the 
contents of the volume

- if you reveal the Palette (right click or hover) you get the Palette 
(see screen-shot):

[Label]
[Remove option]
[info about free space]


I think there are two issues with the current behavior:

- the primary action which triggers the 'show content' is not reflected 
in the Palette, if you bring up the Palette you can not find that action 
in the Palette, this is about discover-ability

- secondly as we are currently moving to the behavior for bringing up 
the Palette on left click for the device icons it makes sense to be 
consistent here, so I would remove the primary action from the button, 
hence on left click reveal the Palette containing the 'Show content' 
option like we have for the Journal as first item in the Palette

Regards,
    Simon

PS: Maybe we can adopt the touchpad device icon as well [2]
