Ok, after a busy week this is what I've been able to come up
with for the Path dialog.
Looking really good! The browse functionality is a fair idiom in
a such GUI as oppose to entering text, i think.
Thanks! I've often been kind of frustrated that I have to type in
the full directory name rather than simply browsing to it. For the
keyboard-inclined, however, text entry should still be possible.
"One" comment: I have a beef with the functionality of the
buttons. Not the Cancel one. The others. 'Apply' does something.
'Ok' does 'apply' plus 'cancel'. 'Save...' does 'Apply' plus
saves. But it says the list is only gonna work from next time Pd
is lunched, why i don't get the 'Apply' and 'Ok'. 'Ok' should do
save and cancel. Thats all one wants, anit?
I agree. I've preserved the pre-existing functionality for those
buttons from before, but do we really need both "Save" and "Apply"? Currently, "Save" also "saves preferences" (verbose & use standard
extensions). I think that should also happen when you click
"Apply", so we can do away with the "Save" button, and also make
sure that the message about needing to restart PD pops up when you
click "OK" or "Apply".
I'm thinking about adapting this UI for the Startup dialog -
shouldn't be hard to do - except instead of choosing
directories you want to enter arbitrary text.
I haven't checked your code but i suppose most "proc's" can be
reused?
I've set up some various key bindings so I want to make sure
it seems usable for everyone.
Nice. What are they?
Default key bindings for the listbox widget give you "up" and "down"
keys to select, I've added "Delete" to delete the current selection,
and "Return" to open the browse dialog (same as pressing "Edit").
So far I've only tested this on Mac OS X
OS X.4 here.
