I guess it shouldn't do that, then. > As it stands, when the export completes, the lower right cancel button > changes from enabled to disabled, and there is no visible way to exit > the dialog, including clicking the main window X (which this dialog > seems to be a modal child of). The obvious solution is to leave the button enabled and change its function from "cancel" to "close" as soon as the export is finished. > (The other effect of the "dumbing down" is that the dialog appears at > top centre of the main window, immediately below the main window title > bar.

A window manager that doesn't allow users do move windows isn't worth its money. Oops, I forgot, it's Open Source and nobody paid for it anyway. > If you only left click the bar, and then drag, then the dialog stays > attached to the main window and both the main window and the dialog move > as one. Probably because dragging is used to switch workplaces, and you can't move individual windows to another workplace. > A proposed resolution for this would be to either: > - add a separate Close button to the right of the Cancel button. > This would be disabled until the export completes, and would become > enabled as the cancel becomes disabled. That would be even easier from the programming point of view, but somehow I don't like the idea of having two buttons. > - modify the cancel button to change it's text from cancel to close when > export completes, and instead activate the close handler. This could > also have a facecolour change from say yellow to green, perhaps ? Why not give `cancel' a red background and change it back to normal when the export is finished? I don't want to overdo the color thing. Besides that, some people can't distinguish particular colors. Yellow and green might look like similar shades of gray to them. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <mich...@mr511.de> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fulfilling the Lean Software Promise Lean software platforms are now widely adopted and the benefits have been demonstrated beyond question.
