Icon beta 2 for QuickPost Beta. What do you think? There have been so many icons for this app that I have lost count but this one I like. I think of it as the
'QuickPost Machine' capable of combinig your words, photos, videos and maps into one gorgeous post and announce it on twitter so the world knows. Ooh did I let something slip? Beta 2 which is coming real soon is an amazing leap forward in usability and features compared to the first beta. I'm still undecided though whether to drop Fern and make this the all-in-one editor the mac world has been waiting for? What do you think?
Check out the screenshot above. Now let me explain. To save space on my MacBook Pro hard drive I keep all my movies (I own the DVD versions, don't stress) on an external drive that iTunes links to. What annoys me is that this dialog suits a situation where the user has changed the location of a file, but not one when an external device is missing. iTunes should detect that the file is located on a external device and then prompt the user to connect it if it isn't already. No one wants to see this dialog when they haven't touched their library for months, and while the new dialog works the same as the old, it tells them why the file cannot be played and how to fix it. I have made a mockup below of an example dialog that I believe would be more suited. It does look the same but the user knows how to fix it and that something hasn't gone wrong with their library.
