Without\nit, the users would not be able to discover what e.g. the double click\nwould do.\n\nMore generally, I feel that something is wrong with the user interface.\nI think gitk is doing it better with a single pane that has the comments\nand the diff.  Splitting the window horizontally in three panes seems to\nbe too much, especially when one of the panes is used for diffs.\n\nActually, qgit may be better for serious work, such as comparing the\ndescription with the actual text.  But still, the panes are too small in\nvertical direction, and if I tear off the diff, it will obscure\nsomething.\n\nThe jumpiness of qgit has been largely fixed, but there are still cases\nwhen mere selecting an item affect another window.\n\nIs it really necessary to have a separate file window?  How different is\nit from the main window with the \"filter by tree\" option on?  Can we\nswitch between diff and annotation?  More generally, what are the things\nthat the users are not normally viewing at the same time?\n\nI'm not asking to fix anything, but qgit still feels odd to me.  I know\nI'm not qualified to ask you to rearrange everything, because I'm not a\nGUI specialist, and I don't see how qgit should work.\n\nMaybe you could ask in the git list how to improve qgit?  I cannot find\nany suitable forum about HIG (human interface guidelines), but if you\nask in the git list, maybe somebody will give you an idea where to ask.\n\n--\nRegards,\nPavel Roskin\n"}]}
