It's probably fine for "modern" viewing, although it's hard to guess
that
you get to the file page via the little Commons icon for people who
(in
all
likelihood) have never seen that icon, or visited Commons.
Indeed, the icon to the File: page is currently very opaque. We're preparing for a round of possible changes to the viewing experience, potentially including
- moving caption above the fold so readers don't have to hunt for it
- moving disable action above-the-fold
- potentially eliminating the below-the-fold panel entirely
- emphasizing the File: page more prominently as the canonical source
of metadata
- separating out download/use actions more clearly
These changes will need to be carefully tested/validated. If you want to take a look at an early early (!) prototype (!!), see http://multimedia-alpha.wmflabs.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo , but please
magnus, do these changes make you turn it on again? if not, what would
need
to be better?
I think this is a non-issue. It took one click to get to the image page; now it takes two. That's my main "problem" with it. As I said, I'm not the target audience for this. I hope.
to give back the one click experience one would need two entry points. a tab or a toolbox link to start mediaviewer, and standard behavior on the images. for one link more in the gui everybody would be happy?
Thanks for trying, but I wouldn't like to have some "click confusion" to be added on my part. This is not really the issue that's being discussed here. Some people felt that MediaViewer is too buggy to be default right now. WMF disagreed. Disagreement escalated. This needs to calm down again. A quick single-point tech fix won't make it go away, I'm afraid.
To be clear, I did not vote in the Meinungsbild, because I have no strong feeling about the MediaViewer one way or the other.
Cheers, Magnus
