in the antivirus pane the screen shows 3 mysterious dots , it looks like 3 periods at the end of a sentence ...
Please enough with "lost temple of doom" hieroglyphs ! .
Yes of course im sure all the employees of bit defender and all the other members of the "in the know" secret society that they belong to are fully aware that the 3 dots are not just periods at the end of a sentence, BUT are actually a link to the EDIT function where users can edit the scan behaviour...
But If a average person(non employee of bitdefender) is not lucky enough to accidentally hover over the "3 periods/tiny dots" they might never ever know they can actually "EDIT" the settings of their system scan.
why does bit defender and other companies do this hidden hieroglyph nonsense ? (windows is the worst at this hide and seek mentality) ... do software programmers and their companies think they are being hip cool and trendy by hiding the simplest tasks from their costumers with nondescript icons/characters...really ? seriously ?
think about it , are u really saving any screen space or money by not using straight forward self explanatory text information to guide the costumer/user ... the word EDIT is only one character more than the "3 periods" , and the word "EDIT" speaks volumes to the user and to a straight forward more enjoyable user experience... using the word "EDIT" translates into no time wasted looking for the edit feature, and even better yet is that the word EDIT tells you plain and simply by its presence that yes their is actually a edit function available to the user/costumer.
The word " EDIT " versus this " ... "
Boy oh boy those dots are a real eye catcher ain't they...(sarcasm) ...
You tell me which is more intuitive for the new user , or the veteran user who never rarely accesses the feature often and doesn't remember where to find it now.
if bitdefender wants a more user friendly product experience for their costumers then they shouldn't be afraid to use TEXT explanations to help guide the users to the features. keep it straight forward , with no trendy mysterious hieroglyphs please and thank you :) .
