Misleading "Open" option in App Center overview
Last modified: 2013-11-19 06:42:19 CET
After installation of an app in the App Center a new "Open" button appears. If I click on that button I'm being directed to the entry of the app inside the "Installation applications" module group of the UMC. There are two user interface properties which could be improved here: - "Open" is confusing. If I have installed a web-based application like OpenERP oder a groupware client I would expect to get towards the login screen of that app. I'm wondering if the link is actually needed. - The overview of an app in "Installed applications" and the overview presented when clicking on the app in the App Center differs: The screenshot is only presented in the latter, while the external references are only displayed in the former. I think it would be more consistent if the same dialogue were shown.

I think there exist two different "opens" one for the website link and one for the UMC module?! > - The overview of an app in "Installed applications" and the overview presented > when clicking on the app in the App Center differs: The screenshot is only > presented in the latter, while the external references are only displayed in > the former.

Both have different intentions, the UMC app module is helping the user to understand how the app can be accessed whereas the App Center dialog is displaying general information about the app (including a screenshot).
The "Installed Apps" module is now basically the details page of the App Center. Open opens the UMC module of this app (e.g. univention-demoapp) or the web frontend if it exists. Otherwise Open does not exist anymore (because, as mentioned, the "Installed Apps" module is the details page. No need to open it again). Fixed since univention-management-console-module-appcenter (3.0.21-1)
OK - looks good, details page of an app in the AppCenter and the "Installed Applications" page of an app are the same, "open" opens the apps Webinterface/Module OK - Changelog
