|Entry" dialog? |dialog
--- Comment #4 from sdc.bla...@youmail.dk ---
@Xisco, insert at least two index entries, then Edit one of them and try the OK
button. (this critical information was not in the OP)
@UXEval: For Edit Index Entry dialog (screenshot in next comment)
Propose:
A. "Ok" -> "Apply"
Reasons:
1. "Ok" is often used in LO to close a dialog box, but does not in this case,
unless there is a single index entry.
2. "Apply" is often used in LO to apply changes, without closing the dialog,
which is what happens (except for the single entry case).
3. OP and comments 2 and 3 demonstrate that I totally misunderstood how to use
the dialog, but probably would not have had trouble if "Ok" was labeled "Apply"
B. Change position of buttons to:
[Help] [Delete] [Apply] [Close]
Reasons:
1. "Close" position would correspond to the usual place for closing a dialog.
2. (afaict) The only time that "OK/"Apply" is ever needed is when one wants to
close a dialog that has just gotten a change but has not switched to another
entry, so the sequence is felicitous.
C. Add a tooltip to "Close" , something like:
"Closes dialog without saving non-applied changes"
More ambitious proposal (in terms of work involved):
1. Replace "OK"/"Apply" with "Reset" (which would reset the current entry),
and
2. Make "Close" also save a current (modified) entry.
