Kevin Menard commented on CAY-888:
----------------------------------
The new wrapped tooltips look great. I added a closing </html> to your code
since it seemed to be missing one.
The preference locations wouldn't save with my existing preferences. I had to
blow them out in order for anything to work. This may be fine however as I've
had to do this several times with the Cayenne 3 milestones anyway.
I'm going to commit the code to close out the issue.

> Object Select Query UI should be smarter and more usable:
> #1 Qualifier field shouldn't be just a dummy text filed. It should be
> smarter, with validations, or even some sort of completion
> or live checking so that the user quickly can do what he wants and be sure
> that it's OK. Because this dummy field is very error prone, many CM users
> avoid "Named Queries". I must admint - even myself - I always type something
> wrong there.
> #2 When selecting a QueryRoot -> e.g to Person, than the Query Name should be
> changed too to "PersonQuery", but only in the case the user hasn't manually
> changed that field to something else than the default generated by CM at
> dialog open. This is very user friendly (many IDEs offer such "variable
> suggestion").
> #3 Orderings and Prefetches tab panes should use a JSplitPane to separte the
> upper and the lower zones. For entities with many fields, the users always
> have to scroll because one can't simply drag a split pane to adapt the size.
