--- Comment #16 from steve -_- <steve at openmailbox.org> ---
So what is what? Selecting a component is primary or secondary? Selecting Help
or Extension is primary or secondary?

And once that is clarified what makes them primary or secondary?

A wild guess: Help and extension open external windows, thus does that make
them secondary? So the logic is, that anything that looks like a button shape,
goes to an external window?

I do not know the screen clip from the (very old) 3.3.0.4 release.

Hmm, evolved or not, for me, I still believe things would be consistent if all
options on the left side panel would look the same. We could now dive deeper
and look into apple design guidelines. A wild guess would be that neither
primary nor secondary do apply to any of that.

    "If anything making the change suggested--bringing all
Start Center widget actions into the same vertical "button bar"  would be
confusing for users."

Why?

    "Re-sizing and adjusting the packing of the button widgets to place Help
and
Extensions as equal in importance to the other Create buttons would give them
emphasis in usage they do not merit."

Agreed. I am fine with the current location, yet find it confusing that a few
things are buttons and other things are some custom non transparent hoovering
effect.


Stuart, I agree on size, location and keeping those two items. I still disagree
with making those two items differ in UI. I am not sure I understand the
concept of primary and secondary and would love to hear examples where this
concept can be found in e.g. Pages.
