Alan Batie commented on DIRSTUDIO-234:
--------------------------------------
The third option is certainly the most user friendly one.
However, in this case, something is changing and I don't know what.
Specifically, we're doing some mail routing with the standard sendmail schema.
I used Directory Studio to remove one sendmailMTAClassValue attribute from a
sendmailMTAClassName entry. This worked once, and then while doing another
search, the results started coming back italicized, which I'm guessing means
non-editable. The parent entry *is* still editable, just not the member
attributes. It acts like it's locked or something, i.e. an operational
decision rather than a structural decision from a schema interpretation.

> Key: DIRSTUDIO-234
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-234
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: studio-ldapbrowser
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Environment: OSX 10.4
> Reporter: Alan Batie
>
> All GUIs should have a tool tip explaining why something is greyed out and
> what needs to be done to make it active (and it needs to be *useful*
> information, not just "it doesn't apply" or "you're not allowed to do that
> now" --- it's obvious the *application* thinks that because it's greyed out).
> In this case, I did a search against our ldap server, found an attribute
> that needed removing and did so. Then I did another search. This time the
> font changed to italic, and when I go to delete an attribute, Delete is
> greyed out. There is no clue anywhere as to what's going on. I searched in
> help for the ldap browser, and found very little.
