[Lotus Notes Sucks: Example 67]
Undo
Problem
Lotus Notes often thrusts this dialog box at you:
Analysis
There are way too many things you can't undo in Lotus Notes:
- Delete one or more rows from a table.
- Delete one or more columns from a table.
- Delete a table
- Delete an attachment.
- Delete a mail message.
- ...
Update for Version 6.5.2
BlueIce pointed out item 4:
If you delete an email from your inbox you cannot undo it. You have to go through your trash, try and find the email and restore it. This is so painful when you have accidentally deleted something and you don't know what it was.
I have verified this. Remember, this is version Lotus Notes version 6.5.2, not version 1.0.0
User Interface Guideline Violations
- Interrupting the user's work flow with a pointless dialog box.
- Forcing the user to do more work than necessary.
- Forcing the user to deal with stupidity.
Conclusion
Lotus Notes sucks.
