--- Comment #13 from David Nind <da...@davidnind.com> ---
I like the change, and have signed off as it works as expected (behavour before
and after the patch remains the same as far as I can tell).

However, the behavour with choosing the cash register confuses me (both before
and after the patch). Maybe I'm over thinking things!

With desks - makes sense
------------------------

With both UseCirculationDesks and UseCashRegisters enabled, or just
UseCirculationDesks enabled, the behavour for the desks makes sense to me. 

Example:
- No desks set for current library (Centerville)
- Desk displays as ---, from dropdown list can change to the desks for that
library (select CENTDESK1 and Submit)
- Change to a library with desks: desks is set to the first desk for that
library, can choose any of the other the desks for that library from the
dropdown list
- Change to a library without desks: desks is set to ---, no options to choose
for that library (as expected, as there aren't any)
- If you log in again, don't set a desk for Centerville, change to another
library with desks, desks is set to the first desk for that library, can choose
any of the other the desks for that library from the dropdown list
- Rationale: desks are physical, so can't be shared between libraries
- Notes:
  . If no desk is selected, it displays as --- (for cash registers, it displays
as -- None --). Maybe they should be changed so they are consistent?
  . If no desks are yet selected or set, should it display as --- or the first
desk available for that library?

Cash registers - doesn't make sense to me
-----------------------------------------

However, with the cash registers (with or without desks enabled), I find the
behavour confusing and doesn't make sense to me. Most likely, it is my
understanding at fault.

Example:
- No cash register set for current library (Centerville)
- Cash register displays as -- None --, from dropdown list can change to the
cash registers for that library 
- For Centerville, select CENTCASH1 and Submit
- Change to a library with cash registers: it displays as CENTCASH1, can choose
any of the other the cash registers for that library from the dropdown list
- Change to a library without cash registers: cash registers displays as
CENTCASH1, no options to choose for that library (as expected, as there aren't
any)
- For a library with or without cash register, with CENTCASH1 shown, select
Submit - displays as CENTCASH1 in top right-hand of the screen
- Go to change the cash register for that library again:
  . A library with cash registers: displays as -- None --, can choose from the
cash registers for that library
  . A library without cash registers: displays as -- None --, no options from
the dropdown list to choose
- Rationale: I don't understand the rationale, maybe the same cash registers
can be used by multiple libraries?

How I set things up
===================

I set up two desks each for three libraries:
- Centerville: CENTDESK1, CENTDESK2
- Midway: MIDDESK1, MIDDESK2
- Springfield: SPRINGDESK1, SPRINGDESK2

I set up two cash registers each for three libraries:
- Centerville: CENTCASH1, CENTCASH2
- Midway: MIDCASH1, MIDCASH2
- Springfield: SPRINGCASH1, SPRINGCASH2

I didn't set a default cash register.
