This post was originally about finding somewhere to copy the asset ID out of this modal. This feature does exist, but the design of this window is so poor that I was unable to find it even after chugging through it hundreds of times in my usual workflow. For context, this is the publish modal from the animation editor.
If you look at the publish dialog form, you can see how it uses completely different design language and is overall a polished experience to use:
If you look at the success page after publishing an asset, this is a disaster.
The information I want out of this page is in a seemingly random order of title, copy id, success + subtext, and a link to the asset. The design language of all of these elements is completely different from the first form as well. It is not intuitive that grey text is 1. important, and 2. interactive.
Please redesign this page and bring it up to today’s standards.
I am republishing 30+ animations right now because the default R15 animation script silently breaks replicating walk animations if the walk and the run animation are the same asset (there’s no comment, hint, or documentation of this detail other than one obscure reply in the help forum).
It’s a bad design. It’s a six-car pileup of random UI elements in random colors in a random order, centered and put in the middle of a modal window that’s bigger than a 720p screen by default, with wildly different design language in terms of interactable elements. Compare this window to the polished one that comes before with the entire publish form. It’s clear there has not been a design or usability pass on this in at least 5 years.
As an industry developer myself literally specializing in tools, it is not the user’s fault if they don’t notice an important part of the interface, especially not when there are only six elements - that is a clear sign that the UI is not good enough. Your comment is inappropriate.
I’d say the publish success window seems fine enough to me (probably after using studio for so long).
If I were to redesign it, I’d probably put the item thumbnail to the side and put all the text to the right in a larger font, like how the initial asset config window is formatted.
