How do I say this without being rude...?! I'm not sure that I can!
I have to do settings for somebody weekly of up to 10 or 12 programs sometimes. What used to take me a minute or two now takes ages!
Did anybody do any useability testing of the UI before launching it? It's incredibly cumbersome now, a massive step backwards. On the old system, I could select the desired recording device, click the program, change series to single and that was it. If there was a requirement to do the same show again it was still there the search results, so I could repeat that process. Simple, elegant, consistent.
Now, I have to select which device each time, as it defaults to the first device - why? Then I have to go through a bunch of other options that all default badly for my needs. Was any consideration given to which might be the more likely defaults? Perhaps it was and I am at odds with the majority, fair enough. But why not allow me to save the defaults to suit my needs? Or even save them from one program selection to the next. It is so frustrating to have to go through half a dozen dropdowns for every program, and completely unnecessary. Its hard to believe that it could be implemented so badly!
Please can we get this reviewed and give some consideration to better handling of defaults? Thanks.
