As for the PR <https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/4204> can
we merge, and then start a new PR for group work on
internationalization and documentation changes?

Hello,
In response to the emails:
- I prefer save > submit where possible, I have found 'submit' to
be confusing to users, so I would get rid of that as much as possible
- The chose order is less important, but I have a personal
preference for 'save | apply | cancel.'
- Yeah, I'm happy to chip in with some 'monkey' work...
Kind Regards
Niels

- In some cases "Save" is distinct from "Submit", for
example when editing a multi page data structure like WPS
permission it is possible (common even) to loose your
work but saving a "sub page" but not "submitting" the
completed result. Long term these may be best
represented as pop-up Dialogs like browser, short term
can we change these screens to "OK/Cancel" so as not to
give the impression they are saving ...
Did not think about it, fair point... so I guess the
inconsistency will stay until someone can get dedicated time
to look individually, has become too much work (the only
change I was volunteering to do was a i18n one, mind).
I understand hopefully the reason above explains this
inconsistency to Niels. I hope we can use i18n for the OK/Cancel
items.
How about it Niels want to take a run at making this consistent
with OK/Cancel for these “sub pages”? I would rather see these
changes done once, so we update the docs once.
My opinion:
- Use "Save" (not "Submit") as we are saving a change,
not submitting a form for later processing
For someone else to look at, as indicated above.
- Use "Save|Apply|Cancel" consistently when saving.
Works for me, I can do this.
Thanks!
- Use "OK/Cancel" consistently when not saving.
- Use "Delete/Cancel" when deleting.
Both for someone else to look at, as indicated above.
- We can use CSS to introduce visual distinction (SAVE |
APPLY | Cancel) if we wish
Same as above.
Two offers of assistance:
- I will talk to GeoCat about updating the documentation,
I agree trimming the images is a good first cut, but many
are out of date anyways
- If we can isolate the "Save|Apply|Cancel" into a div
how do you feel about having it float to a consistent
location on screen during scrolling. Having to scroll to
the bottom or top of the page is an awkward time waste,
this is especially frustrating when used with "Apply" as
you lose your spot on long forms.
Seems interesting, for someone else to look at, too
Sounds good,
Jody
