Martin Alderson commented on DIRSTUDIO-234:
-------------------------------------------
I just wanted to add my vote for Stefan's 3rd suggestion. I have been bitten
by this smartness of studio before and had to fall back to another LDAP editor
to get the job done.
Alan: As with Stefan, I also suspect that the schema is the problem here. You
might want to try asking studio to reload the schema from the connection's
properties dialog box.

> 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.
