Currently, one of the very first things a new Ultorg user tends to encounter is the following annoying dialog box:

newpersp

The default behavior should probably be changed so that the default action when double-clicking a new database table is to create a new perspective based on that database table. On the other hand, we don't want to pollute the folder hierarchy with dozens of new perspectives. Some UI design work is needed here to work out the best behavior.

The current UI also does not prompt the user where to save new perspectives, or what to name them, leading to a large number of perspectives with names like "Courses (2)", "Courses (3)" etc. gathering in the root folder by default:

Folders

Furthermore, most users have not discovered that it is possible to create user-defined folders of data sources and perspectives in the Folders hierarchy. (Currently requires right-clicking the parent folder and clicking "New Folder".)

These related usability problems will be fixed in a future Ultorg version.

These usability issues have now been addressed in Ultorg 1.2.0. Existing users can find the new version at their old download link.

New usability problems in this area can be opened as new issues.
