I had a chance to try out the changes on 1.0.0-beta5 (in Kubuntu 9.10).
It is definitely better than before--in some respects--a quick click on
an image does not change the rating (usually). However, once the stars
are shown, I don't like the following behaviour:
1. If I click to the right of the stars, but not on them, it assigns
a 5-star rating. I don't understand this. I did not click on the
stars, so why is it changing the rating? If I want to assign a
5-star I should have to click on the fifth star.
2. If I click to the left of the stars, but not on them or not too
close to them, it removes the rating. OK, this is one click less
than having to click on the first star twice, but I keep doing
this by accident. When I am not trying to remove or change the
rating (as in 1.) it is very annoying.
3. If I click to the left of the stars, not on them, but within
about about one star-width of the first star, a 1-star rating is
assigned. So, if I click to the left, I either rate it zero or
one stars depending on the proximity, but, either way, it is
usually an accident.
4. After changing the rating, I have to mouse-out and mouse-in to
the thumbnail panel before I can change the rating again. This is
annoying if I change it by accident or change it to the wrong value.
It is also inconsistent with the behaviour in the thumb-bar when
previewing an image.
On balance, I'd rate this as two steps forward and two steps back. As
the original reporter, I'd really like to see this bug re-opened for
the continuing usability problems to be addressed.
